RSG §6.12.2. Promo - This tag should only be used where it is clear the item was released as such, for example, it is explicitly mentioned on the release, or by the label, artist, or other reliable source. Retail releases with stamped, stickered, or similarly altered covers and / or media are to be considered the same as retail, as should retail releases with cut spines, marked or cut barcodes, or other such defacement -- these promo designations are considered to be post-manufacture, and do not require a separate / unique release. Additionally, retail releases that include 'one-sheet' promotional press-release or feedback type pages are not to be considered different than the retail version."

Wrong studios, those studios were'n named after "EMI", because EMI was not part of the name of the company in the 50s. Perhaps named "Estudios Odeon"?
"...there was only one recording studio in Barcelona, ​...
Officially there are 2 at least:
Estudios EMI-Odeon, Barcelona
Estudios EMI, Barcelona
Surely there were also "Estudios Odeon, Barcelona"?
That's the problem adding info not given on release: you must use the correct info, please. As a resume: don't add uncredited info without source.
