Scepter Records - Scepter Studios

Scepter Studios

In 1965, Scepter moved its offices to 254 West 54th Street at Manhattan (a building now famous for housing the legendary Studio 54 disco). The building included warehouse space and its own recording studio. Though few albums of note were recorded at Scepter Studios, one was the influential, avant-garde rock and roll album The Velvet Underground & Nico, recorded in April 1966 by engineer John Licata under the supervision of Andy Warhol and Norman Dolph.

In 1961 and 1962, Wally Roker was the promotion man for Scepter Records who promoted all the Shirelles hit records.
