It is clear from
advertising that towards the end of 1964 Golden World were
still operating out of 4039 Buena Vista. Indeed
proof that they were still recording in New York City can be
seen on Ric-Tic 101, Freddie Gorman's "In A Bad
Way". Beautifully printed in italics on the run-out
groove are the words Bell Sound. This 45 was
released in October 1964. Engineer
Bob d'Orleans recalls, "Bell Sound cut their own master
lacquers. Abe Bernstein and myself were the guys who would
cut the records and in a number of instances we would stamp
the studio name on the run-out groove." Almost
three years of commuting to New York City would soon come to
an end however, when Ed and JoAnne purchased an Electrical
Store on West Davison, one of Detroit's main
thoroughfares. The
building was also within walking
distance of JoAnne's home on Buena Vista.
Built in 1949, the premises measured 6597 square feet and
consisted of a ground floor, upper floor and garage.
