In 1988, Allen was beginning to run out of space and luckily was able to purchase Record One Recording, which had been immensely successful with records like Toto's "Rosanna," Kim Carnes' "Betty Davis Eyes," and Linda Ronstadt's "Heart Like A Wheel," Sides moved in quickly, re-did the monitor systems to be more compatible with Ocean Way, and opened for business with two studios that contained very nice custom API consoles. Early projects included classic recordings by Don Henley and Bonnie Raitt. Soon after that, Allen constructed the largest (112 input's with GML automation) totally discrete Neve console in the world for Quincy Jones's "Back on the Block", Ocean Way now had seven rooms operating in LA plus their rental division "Classic Equipment Rentals" and "Ocean Way To Go," which specializes in setting up complete studios in houses anywhere a client may choose. Grammy winning producers like T-Bone Burnette, Don Was, Dr. Dre, Jack Joseph Puig and Rob Cavallo became regulars.
