Marquee Studio • London • UK

From Wikipedia:

The Marquee Club was a music venue in London, England, that opened in 1958 with a range of jazz and skiffle acts. It was a small and relatively cheap club, in the heart of London’s West End. It was the location of the first live performance by the Rolling Stones on 12 July 1962. […]

In 1964, Moody Blues manager/producer Alex Murray used a homemade studio in the garage at the back of the club to produce the classic “Go Now” single, which shot to No. 1 at Christmas 1964, and filmed for it the first ever UK pop promo video. The development of Marquee Studios was largely financed by profits from this record. The studio was later used by Elton John, the Groundhogs, the Clash and others. The Rolling Stones, who first appeared at the club in July 1962, returned there on 26 March 1971 after a nine-year hiatus to film a television special. […]
