You might recognize the studio in this video, it is the same place April Wine recorded their 9th studio album Harder...Faster and appears in the music video I Like To Rock.

Le Studio (later renamed Studio Morin Heights) was a residential recording studio in the Laurentian Mountains near the town of Morin-Heights, Quebec, Canada. Built in 1972 the studio, where artists recorded and stayed, was the venue for many notable Canadian and international artists, including Rush, The Police, Bee Gees, Chicago, David Bowie, April Wine and Cat Stevens to name a few.

Renowned for its retreat-like location as well as its state-of-the-art equipment, it was one of the earliest studios to install Solid State Logic mixing desk and RADAR digital-recording equipment. Perry sold the studio in 1988. In 2008 the studio had gone out of business, and as of 2015 the property was up for sale. On Friday, August 11, 2017 the headlines read: "Le Studio destroyed in fire this morning", the building was partially destroyed by "a suspicious" fire.
