Save Abbey Road

i see mccartney hopes that some people will get together and save the studio's, why cant he do it himself, better than give all his cash to heather mills.

I sent enough money to abby road and the beatles if its important to them to save it I'm sure sir Paul can find a way or the queen

I have to agree with all the above,but I do think paul  is one of the richest men on earth,he could afford it.

EMI sure has some greedy $#@$$## turning down 30 mil Andrew Lloyd Webber is an icon in the music industry I cant think of a better person to make use of this facility

Didn't know about this. Pretty sad I guess. I would have thought £30m would be more than enough to buy it. Can't see that EMI refused because they're worried about ongoing costs or how it will be used at all......not if they're prepared to sell to anyone, including property developers. Also pretty sure Lloyd Webber would be able to ensure it recouped enough cash in the future.....looks like they're haggling for more money to me. That's the problem when the supposed bank balance of a prospective buyer is all over the press. Why sell for "just" £30m when you know ALW is worth a reputed £750m??

Greedy beggars!!

Abbey Road studio's are obviously worth saving, but a cost of £30 million + is licking the gravy train somewhat, dont you think?
As all these multi-national conglomerates can buy out British businesses, asset strip them and throw all the skilled and experienced people out of work, so they can make more profit for the already mega-bucked investors, by opening another factory somewhere that the wages are paid in peanuts, is not only a disgusting practice but should be a criminal offence. Who wins from this kind of business practice...bankers, and the aforementioned investors...may they burn in the ashes of their own profits. As has happened in the North East this week, and all over the country for some years! It brings it all into perspective?
As for Abbey Road, (it was only a small rant) as Lloyd-Webber says, it's one of the only places in the country that can house a large orchestra (Hey Jude) it can update to accommodate the latest recording equipment, and as proved recently, can hold a small audience while a live TV or radio programme can be made.
The company who bought out EMI, are up to their necks in debt, and are using the name, made famous by The Beatles, Pink Floyd and others to get themselves out of trouble, so will push to get the best deal. I suppose we would all do the same in their position?
As a PS, I dont suppose a housing estate would have the same draw, or the same romance as a world famous recording studio?
