Did you look at the slideshow? Compare the "Fake Four" with the Fab four on the original cover and they looked well dodgy!

I guess it's not classified as an historical monument, so I fear that we have to be prepared for the worst...

Have just been listening to Chris Evans' show on Radio 2. He seems to be advocating that Paul Macartney should buy Abbey Road. He also suggested that a one off concert featuring Paul and Ringo + other stars could actually fund purchase of the Abbey Road studios. Chris feels that given the amount of popular music produced at Abbey Road over the years, that Abbey Road is of equal cultural importance to Britain and the World as the Globe Theatre and other high brow projects. I think that he is right.
