A nice and educational video (30 minutes) by Sound on Sound magazine about a studio in UK which has completely replicated a 1950s studio. There are a lot of comparisons to how things are done today versus then.

Jack White and friends eg. Willie Nelson and Elton John went to 1920's! A very warmhearted documentary, I watched it just some time ago on TV.

"audio engineer Nicholas Bergh reassembled a direct to wax recording system from original parts as first used in the 1920s, and it is now the only one left in the world. The system consists of a single microphone, a towering six-foot amplifier rack, and a live record-cutting lathe, powered by a weight-driven pulley system of clockwork gears. The musicians have roughly three minutes to record their song before the weight hits the floor."
