The number of tracks in a studio does not have any thing to do
with how good it is.  The way the studio is laid out, the
kind of sound techniques that are used, and the equipment has the
most effect on the studio.  As far as how many tracks are concerned,
a FOUR TRACK recording can sound just as good as 32 track recording.
It just takes longer to produce the end result in a FOUR TRACK 
studio.  This is up to the engineer to produce a good result when using
four tracks not the studio ( besides I don't even think there was
anything more than a 8 track studio back then (?) ). 
I would hardly call a 4 track studio primative, just hard to use
when you have a lot of instruments and a lot of vocals (sort of like
using ed and emacs, they both produce the same result, one just takes
longer).
