The Village Recorder (also known as The Village or Village Recorders) is a recording studio located in West Los Angeles. It is where 1995's Mellon Collie was mixed, and where "Age of Innocence" and the drums for Monuments were recorded. It is also where initial sessions for Hole's Nobody's Daughter were recorded, which Billy Corgan contributed to.
The building was originally a Masonic temple until it was converted to a studio in the late 1960s. Famous albums recorded here include Aja by Steely Dan, Joe's Garage by Frank Zappa, and Planet Waves by Bob Dylan.
