A Midtown Mobile property where singer songwriter Jimmy Buffett recorded his first songs has been listed for sale, according to Crawford Stitt of White-Spunner Realty. The property at 1916 Airport Blvd., was home to Product Sound Studio in the 1970s and where Buffett recorded two songs, “Don’t Bring Me Candy,’’ and “Abandon On Tuesday.’’ Both songs were released in 1970. The building was later occupied by Cantrell’s Photography and in 2013 a tornado destroyed the building on Christmas Day. It’s since been replaced and the two-story building is listed for sale for $650,000. The site has been a popular sightseeing stop for Parrot heads or loyal Buffett music fans. Buffett passed away last month.
