This is Regent Sound was, where the Rolling Stones 1st recorded.
Location: 4 Denmark St, London
Description: Bill Farley's Regent Sound was the affordable London recording studio where the Rolling Stones recorded their first album after rehearsing it at TPA Studios across the street. This was between January 3rd and February 25th, 1964.
Keith Richards said in an interview later: We did our early records on a 2-track Revox in a room insulated with egg cartons at Regent Sound. It was like a little demo in Tin Pan Alley, as it used to be called. Denmark Street in Soho. It was all done on a 2-track Revox that he had on the wall. We used to think, Oh, this is a recording studio, huh? This is what they're like? A tiny little backroom. Under those primitive conditions it was easy to make the kind of sound we got on our first album and the early singles, but hard to make a much better one.
While producer/manager Andrew Oldham sai d of it We did the first album in about 10 days. We'd decide to do a tune, but Mick wouldn't know the words, so Mick would run around to Denmark Street to Carlin Music to pick up the words to something like Can I Get a Witness? He'd come back 25 minutes later and we'd start.
