Historical marker inscription:The worlds first circular office structure was designed to resemble a stack of 45 rpm records. Artists recording in its studios since its completion in 1956 have included such luminaries as Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Peggy Lee, Dean Martin, the Beatles, and the Beach Boys. The rooftop beacon flashes Hollywood in Morse Code. The architects were Welton Beckett & Associates.Marker erected by Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.Note: This marker has a mistake. The building was not designed to resemble a stack of records.The photo on the marker features a scale model of the building presented by Frank Sinatra.This is Los Angeles City Historic Monument No. 857.
I went there before its a wonderful place i recorded with my chores group there it is a memory i will never forget
Beautiful building. This place has a great history. Unfortunately no access to the public. They should offer a tour for this iconic place.
We walked around Hollywood checked out the stars that was kind of cool to see some of the old stuff takes you back in time
An iconic building with lots of history in the music industry. Love all four of The Beatles stars in front.
Such an amazing place for photos. Glad we went later at night so there wasnt that many people there.
Just Awesome to see the DAVID FOSTER star on the sidewalk!!!
Was just looking at the stars in front of the building while waiting for an Uber. Got yelled at by security to stand back, further away from the building. It’s not the White House, really rude.
It was very exciting to see the Capital Records Building! Outside the building on the sidewalk were the stars of famous musicians. Very cool to see the Beatles names, Buddy Holly, and so many others!
A great Hollywood landmark, the Capitol Records building! Capitol Records, has a phenomenal history in the music industry and has signed many of the most talented names in the music industry! Capitol Records, also has one of the most state-of-the-art recording studios in the basement and is known for its acoustical dynamics! Located on vine and yucca, if the Hollywood area be sure to stop by, or at least get some pictures!
Dope in art, quality and cleanliness
Too much security but I would understand why
Historic music production building.
One of the most Iconic buildings in Los Angeles, CA
I do NOT enjoy taking the 405 FWY NORTH. Tbis is what happens when trucks drop heavy equipment en route. I was directly behind him recently and my car ran over a piece of metal on the freeway. It was extremely scary and obviously dangerous. Be careful on these roads everyone. God bless you all.
Signed my first contract here (just kiddin). Iconic building and label with a lot of famous artist.
Its not just a Landmark, Its a ICON!!!! I was lucky enough to watch a recording session and to see so many of the photos, everybody from Dean Martin to Paul McCartney and Frank Sinatra and the Beach boys! Thanks to the Good Folks at CAPITAL!!️
It was neat to see if hes a history the 13-story building no bad luck superstition with Capitol records The Beatles signed up with Capitol records in 1964 all for solo Stars John Paul George Ringo Starr write in the walkway starting off with Roy Orbison who sang that famous song pretty woman its designed to look like a stack of old 45 records on top of the old turntable back in the day when I was young is a beautiful sight something to see
Nice to see but wish we could have gone in. All the way from PA to CA just to look at the door.
@nellastyles for the culture.
Legendary Music Company and most the most famous label in the
Reason why I love Capitol Records brings back good memories I still remember seeing the Beatles on top of the roof all in black very historical building on Hollywood and Vine off 118 freeway the Hollywood freeway
Capitol Records is an iconic part of Hollywood, California. I love the label. It’s where I dropped off my first demo. Always fun to visit. One of my favorite spots. Now, all I need is a good roommate.
Outstanding facility. I feel very privileged to have been able to listen to a new album in one of the studios.
Sometimes you get shocked by the Homeless in the area.
An Iconic building in Hollywood California. If you have a chance to take a tour, go for it! Beautiful place!
Love this place because its sort of an icon in LA very heavy security though cant really see the building unless you have an appointment
Historic Landmark w/ Legendary Recordin Studio attached to Iconic Round Tower
Great building, amazing history, and yet closed to the public??!
So much fun. We have been vacationing to Cali for 10 years straight and this by far was our best trip. It included this stop! And much more.
Its big and round. Does an excellent job of being a building.
Are Katy Perry and Halsey the artists of Capitol Records?
I need a meeting ASAP....
The capital record building is in relatively good condition however drop-in visitors will have trouble getting past the front door. Appointments are recommended.
5 stars
My girl wanted to see the Selena star. Why?? It was placed long after her death. The round building was ok.
Capitol Records building is a great place to visit especially if you get the VIP tour where you get to see the recording studios down below the gift shop is unbelievable its a must-see. It used to be one of the tallest buildings but its now a miniature compared to the new Landmark surrounded.
Friendly staff easy access to Hollywood Blvd
Historic music landmark, great views of the city
Thank you for hosting the Abbey Road dedication! It was awesome!
So so wow! One of the most beautiful building in city!
Terrible with greeting people or gatheringng information. Smh, who actually works there?
Its a very interesting place to be next to but we did not go in we were across the street. It is very beautiful though. There is a great taco truck across the street. Uts delicious!
A historic experience... a beautiful Legacy.
Great Building. If you are ever invited in for a Tour ..You must go for it
Awesome to just look up and know Amazing Legends walked through those doors, and Recorded ...somewhere,... Upstairs etc Quite a Memorable Experience for me, and Emotional, as I am a Talented Singer and Songwriter.I was the same way, on Music Row, Nashville, TennesseeThe Stars out front on Sidewalk, awesome.Being a DJ, and Radii Personality, as well as Musical myself, and Born into Music, I Recognize many Celeb Names, far before my Time, some before my Parents time as well.Its an Amazing feeling standing in front.I wanted to walk in and Audition.Seriously.I may still do just that.Any rate, really COOL FEELING.I FELT HONORED to even see that Building at all,... standing Strong
Pretty neat area
Iconic! Everyone has recorded here. The same mics since the days of Sinatra are still regularly used to record. Super cool place.
In my all time I been in USA 40 years I alway saw the building from the freeway or movies, never thought one day I will be at the lobby and see the CEO of that place a little arrogant but I guess thats her tough face in running that huge building.. I suggest that she will say hello in a nice way.. been humble its not hard to learn... security was very nice to me. the two gentlemen wery helpful..
Hmmm, kinda weird situation. The guards are very hangry 24/7 and act as if its area 51. The building itself is wow and amazing, I do love the way it looks. However, to get inside youve to get thru THE BOSS (yeah yeah, our previously mentioned lords of the tower). I do believe they do their job, but they couldve been kinder, you know. Giving 5 stars for the building itself. Cant add anything more. Peace ️
I enjoyed looking at the many stars outsude the building. My faborite were the beetles
Interesting building. Nice to visit.
My name is George Anton I am a famous film director in Hollywood here and I do business with capital records five stars to this building
Cool landmark building. Home of Capital records. What a cool place for an office eh,
I didnt get a record deal, but overall nice place
There’s nothing bad I can say about Capital Records.
Historic landmark. One of Los Angeles 8th wonders
This place is awesome follow @youngkorea713
Attend a walk of fame Ceremony. Carrie Underwood amazing in red. Simon Cowell- speech, just stating she would be a star! So much talent came from that Building.....
The security gaurds out front are veterans and great guys. They lead me to what I needed.
Best place ever, if youre into the music industry.
Had sum sic beats
This is an iconic building with music history and future. There arent events held around the building once in a while. I went for the Selena Star Ceremony and it was a lot of fun with a large crowd and a screen to show the speakers and events as the occur.
It was what i thought i was, great Architectural design,
Another one of my places to work
I got the once in a lifetime to record in Studio A where Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Quincey Jones and the Beatles recorded. Yaaaaassss!
Really nice building.
Great views nearby if the Hollywood sign. I would like to have seen the inside. I took several photos. No way I would miss the stars up the street and check out HOLLYWOOD BURGERS great food!
