End Of The Line ? ABBEY ROAD STUDIOS FOR SALE

[ecca]

Amazed at how such a thread could turn into an attack on Paul Mc'Cartney.

[Amanda]

Of course there's always Richard Branson, I bet some of his label's records were made there!

Let's face it It's Pauls Money to do with how he pleases!

As for attacking Paul, not me!

Now in the case of "Long Heather Silver"!!!!!!!

Hi Ecca

I don't think it's so much an attack on McCartney as such,it just seems hypocritical of him to say
he hopes something can be done to save Abbey Road as it means a lot to the recording industry
when he has in excess of £700 million + to his name.

If it means that much to him,why not buy it himself or at least get a consortium together
of names who have used Abbey Road.

I wonder how many would show an interest?

[Iain Purdon]

Yeah I can see all that ... but, if it means so much to the recording industry, why are EMI selling it?

[RayL]

Because EMI are owned by a company called Terra Firma, who have no particular interest in music and recording. They bought EMI because they thought that they could make money from it, but they couldn't, so they are now selling it's most valuable asset.

When an organisation becomes a public company, it can be bought and sold amongst people whose only interest is profit. Other recent examples - Manchester United, Cadburys, the Corus steelworks on Teesside. It's why our railways, our water companies and our energy companies are largely owned by foreigners who cream off profits, while screwing the British public through charges, fares and taxes.

Does this all mean that Abbey Road will be closed?

[Bill Bowley]

Alan,

I think it is a safe bet that it is.


Last Brit out of UK please turn off the lights?

[asimmd]

Good News

E.M.I have now said they are not closing/selling Abbey Road.

Wonder why all the speculation in the first place,perhaps someone
was testing the water?

Abbey Road, the recording studios made famous by the Beatles, was designated a historic site by the government on Tuesday to protect the pop music shrine against any plans to radically alter it.
