50 Cent Records His New Album In Wigan!,

Postby eminemcaparica » Sep 30th, '05, 15:05

Just an hour after his legendary MEN Arena show in Manchester, which saw England stars Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand join Fiddy and G Unit on stage, 50 Cent sped down the motorway to record his new album in Wigan. A town previously known for bringing Northern Soul at the Wigan Casino and legendary guitar band The Verve, it's forays into hip-hop have been limited to Mercury Records recent signing Dear Eskiimo

It wasn't until the guys were heading down the motorway that Red Cat Studios owner and producer Allan Murrell realised exactly what was happening

"I thought the initial email was a wind-up and the fact that it had a US telephone number on there asking me to call it made me a bit suspicious. I didn't call the number but I did reply to the email and asked that they call me to firm up the time etc.

I pretty much forgot about the whole thing through the day, which I spent with my little girl at the swimming baths and the park, but at 6.00 that evening I receive a phone call. At the end of the phone is Manny Smith, the guy from Interscope Records in the states that had sent the email. He asked if we were still ok for that evening. Again, I was still suspicious so I asked for a contact in the UK so I could arrange things with him. He gave me the mobile number of 50 Cent's Manager, Barry Williams.
I called Barry to arrange things and he asked me a few of questions about the studio and to get directions.

Still not entirely convinced, I called Karen McBride to ask her (if indeed it was true) if she'd like to come over and take some photographs. Obviously she jumped at the chance and also came up with the idea of meeting Barry and the G Unit at the Lowry Hotel where they were staying so they could follow her to the studio.

When Karen arrived at the Lowry she called me to let me know she was there and that all the 50 Cent team were there. It was becoming more and more real. A few phone calls followed to tell me that they were delayed but eventually, around 11.30, Karen called from her car to say they were on their way. That's when I knew it was for real"

Designer Magazine's photographer Karen McBride was there at Red Cat Studios to watch it all happen. "I had known that the last time they played Manchester, they went back to another Northwest Studio
