80's nostalgia

Various 80's music stars recall their time in Montserrat. In 1979, legendary Beatles producer George Martin built a recording studio on the Caribbean Island. In 1989 after The Rolling Stones, the studio was wrecked by Hurricane Hugo. With the changing technology, the studio was becoming obsolete. With the volcanic eruption in 1995, half the island is devastated. Certain areas are abandoned including the old studio. There is a lot of nostalgia. It has a lot of period photographs and video. Many locals recall the era. The early 80's must have been fun. It's a time, a place, and a sound. It is now history and that's a little sad.
