I don't know much about this location, except it is listed on the letter head inside the liner notes of my "God Ween Satan" cd.

I know that TwinTone Records put out over 300 records between 1977 and 1994. One of them is the album "God Ween Satan", so that alone is worth noting.

paisley park

Paisley Park Studios is where the Great Purple One (Prince) occasionally recorded. Something akin to the Willy Wonka Candy Factory, its status is continually a subject of mystery. I worked on a commercial here once, shot in the large sound stage area. Prince has thrown after-parties here sporadically in the last decade. Apparently, there are a number of rooms off-limits to nearly everybody, including a worship area since Prince is reportedly a devout Jehovah's Witness.
