McCartney hopes to save Abbey Road
Music legend Paul McCartney hopes the recording studio The Abbey Road, famously used by the Beatles, can be saved after it was put up for sale by record label giant EMI. The Abbey Road recording facilities in North West London became synonymous with the Fab Four, with the band even naming their 1969 album after the building, BBC online reported. The record’’s cover shot featured the Beatles crossing the road outside.
Fans across the world have since flocked to the landmark, and the studio has also been used by music greats including Michael Jackson, U2, Green Day and Pink Floyd. Bosses at EMI, who own the studios, have decided to try and recoup money lost in recent years by selling the property, which is expected to be worth an estimated USD 20 million.
