Konk Studios / Ampex Golden Reel Award Vintage Tee | Mike Ponczek's Closet

An original Konk Studios / Ampex Golden Reel Award tee from the personal collection of SHOWCO sound engineer Mike "Dr. Funk" Ponczek.

Konk Studios — 84/86 Tottenham Lane, Hornsey, London N8 7EE (Tel: 340-7873/4757) — was the legendary private recording studio founded by Ray Davies of The Kinks. One of the most storied independent studios in British rock history, Konk was where The Kinks recorded throughout the 1970s and beyond, and where countless other artists passed through. The Ampex Golden Reel Award was a prestigious industry honor presented by Ampex to recordings that achieved gold or platinum status on Ampex tape — a mark of both commercial success and recording excellence. This navy blue tee carries both logos: the Ampex Golden Reel Award on the right chest and the bold Konk Studios circular logo on the left chest. The back features the full Konk Studios address in clean white lettering. A genuine artifact from the intersection of British rock royalty and professional audio history. Mike Ponczek was connected to the best studios and engineers on both sides of the Atlantic.

This is a genuine, worn shirt from Mike's personal archive — verified provenance, one of a kind.
