EMI Puts Abbey Road Up For Sale

by Paul Cashmere - February 16 2010

EMI has put the iconic Abbey Road studios in London up for sale.

With debt-ridden EMI owners Terra Firma strapped for cash and in desperate need of a $120 million injection the decision has been made to sell the studios were The Beatles and Pink Floyd recorded their classic albums.

The Gramophone Company, which later became EMI, paid £100,000 for the house at 3 Abbey Road when they bought it 81 years ago in 1929. It became the world’s first custom-built recording studio. It began operation in 1931.

Cliff Richard recorded the first rock and roll song at Abbey Road. That was ‘Move It’ in 1959.

The site become recognisable worldwide after The Beatles used the crossing out the front of the studios for the cover of their Abbey Road album in 1969.

The Beatles recorded every album except ‘Let It Be’ at Abbey Road.

Pink Floyd recorded ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ there. Al Stewart made ‘Year of the Cat’ at Abbey Road. Radiohead used it for ‘The Bends’. Oasis for ‘Be Here Now’ and Duran Duran for ‘Notorious’.

The business could be worth more than $20 million.

ничего логичного...я не поклонник Машины, но некрасиво так говорить... можно не любить Машину, но музыки хорошей они изрядно написали...и потом, там действительно, в первую очередь, не Макар писался, а великие и могучие Битлз...

Это всерьез обсуждается?

10 заповедей, которые надо знать о знаменитой студии:

EMI puts Abbey Road up for sale: Ten things you need to know about the iconic recording studio


Following the news today that Abbey Road has been put up for sale by record label EMI, here are ten essential bits of trivia regarding arguably the world's most famous recording studio.

1. Originally built in 1831, the Gramophone Company bought the Georgian townhouse for £100,000 in 1929, before opening it as a state-of-the-art recording studio three years later. The Gramophone Company would later merge with Columbia Graphophone Company to form EMI.

2. The studios are a quick five minute walk from the St. John's Wood Underground Station. The studios, however, are not based anywhere near Abbey Road station, a soon-to-open Docklands Light Railway stop in Stratford, East London that is due to open later this year.

3. Initially used by the likes of the London Symphony Orchestra, its first exposure to rock music came in 1958 when Cliff Richard recorded "Move It" there, a track often cited as the first European rock and roll single.

4. The studios were used for propaganda recordings for the British Government during the Second World War.

5. The first British artist to record a No.1 hit single at Abbey Road was Eddie Calvert, whose 1954 recording of Oh Mein Papa topped the charts for nine weeks.

6. The Beatles are unquestionably the act most associated with Abbey Road, with the band having recorded 90 per cent of their output in the North London complex with legendary producer George Martin at the helm. The band's first proper session in 1962 resulted in their first hit single Love Me Do, their final stint in 1969 saw them record their swansong album ‘Abbey Road’, named in tribute to the studio that had helped form their sound.

7. As well as revolutionising popular culture, the Beatles time at Abbey Road saw the group help pioneer many new studio techniques, with such innovations as flanging and eight track recording appearing first on Fab Four records.

8. Pink Floyd ‘s multi-million selling Dark Side of the Moon, Radiohead’s breakthrough album The Bends and Oasis’s height of Britpop long-player Be Here Now are among the many notable recordings to have been cut at the studio.

9. A long list of classic movie soundtracks have also been recorded at Abbey Road, including Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of The Lost Ark and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

10. The Volkswagen Beetle parked next to the zebra crossing on the Beatles’ iconic Abbey Road album sleeve, belonged to one of the people living in the apartment across from the recording studio. After the album came out, the number plate was stolen repeatedly from the car. In 1986, the car was sold at an auction for $23,000 and is currently on display at the Volkswagen museum in Wolfsburg, Germany.

After the album Abbey Road came out, the license plate was stolen repeatedly from the car. In 1986, the car was sold at an auction for $23,000, it is currently on display at the Volkswagen museum in Wolfsburg, Germany. A great tribute to the little white Beetle in the foreground, as well as The Beatles, took place when the site was selected to début the new Volkswagen Beetle in a commercial with two new Volkswagen Beetles crossing the road. Volkswagen had tried unsuccessfully to get the Beatles to endorse their new cars. I suppose this was the next best thing.

В свою очередь немецкая песенка, сыгранная Эдди Кэлвертом и ставшая первым хитом, записанным в студии тогда еще не "Эбби Роуд"

Eddie Calvert - Oh Mein Papa


В Союзе была издана на сборнике Тхе Бестов Эдди Кэлверта.

Может всем фанатам скинуться))

>Может всем фанатам скинуться))

Это затянется надолго. Сейчас позвоню Пинчуку, он выпишет чек.

Читаю заглавие темы «Прославленная в песне The Beatles звукозаписывающая студия на Эбби-роуд…» и не совсем врубаюсь. В какой песне? Может в альбоме?

Можно послать письмо Альфа - банку. У них, вроде , сам Авен многие группы сюда приглашал, может заинтересуется?

ЗЫ. к своему стыду не знаю, кто такой Пинчук.

По поводу Йоко и Пола:
эта "женщина-дракон", как она сама себя называет даже глазом не моргнет, не надо ей.. А Пол , как всегда, скажет- а мне нафига, если Йоко не интересутеся..

2senegalka
Виктор Пинчук один из самых богатых украинских олигархов. Прежде всего, меценат, не пожалевший огромных денег и устроивший 14 июня 2008 года на главной площади Киева бесплатный концерт Пола Маккартни. Алфа-банк он купит в нагрузку к студии, если потребуется.

Ну пишите Пинчуку...) славянин, тоже

По поводу, сколько Пол пожалел за авторские права- 47 млн долларов..

А если по всем адресам зарегистрированным послать письмо- "сколько вы не пожалеете на студию Эбби роуд?"..
Кста)) владельцам недвижимости в Лондоне - положены какие то льготы при получинее виз))

Давайте оставим Пола в покое)
По-моему, его заслуга итак немаленькая - он неплохо поработал на сам бренд "Эбби Роуд") Так что же, он теперь еще и выкупать эту студию обязан?)

уффффффффф хоть успокоили немного

"Эббироуда у нас забирают, купи обратна, пажалуста!"

Ой,я Вас умоляю...

Прославленная Битлз организация по охране исторических памятников National Trust возможно приложит усилия по спасению прославленной Битлз студии.
По крайней мере, это было темой передачи Криса Эванса на радио Би-би-си.



Beatles' Abbey Road Studios 'could be saved by National Trust'
The possibility the National Trust could save the Beatles' Abbey Road recording studios for the nation has been raised after reports that embattled music group EMI planned to sell it.



The Trust said members of the public had been in touch to urge the organisation to take on the property after the issue was discussed on Chris Evans' show on BBC Radio 2 and on BBC Radio Five Live.

People have also been discussing whether the National Trust could save the world-famous studios on Facebook and Twitter.

EMI's private equity parent Terra Firma is said to be hoping the north London site - made famous by the Beatles album and zebra crossing cover shot - could raise tens of millions of pounds.

A spokesman for the National Trust said: ''It's not often that the public spontaneously suggests that we should acquire a famous building.

''However, Abbey Road recording studios appear to be very dear to the nation's heart - to the extent that we will take soundings as to whether a campaign is desirable or even feasible.''

The building in St John's Wood could have a price tag of £10 million to £30 million, and the National Trust is asking the public whether they think the studios should be saved.

If there is enough momentum, a campaign could be launched to buy the studios on behalf of the nation.

Former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney, who recorded most of the band's songs at Abbey Road, has told the BBC's Newsnight that he hoped the studios could be saved.

He said: ''There are a few people who have been associated with the studio for a long time who were talking about mounting some bid to save it.

''I sympathise with them. I hope they can do something, it'd be great.''

He added: ''I have got so many memories there with the Beatles.

''It still is a great studio. So it would be lovely if somebody could get a thing together to save it.''

The National Trust already owns Mendips and 20 Forthlin Road, the childhood homes of John Lennon and Sir Paul McCartney in Liverpool.

Жаль, жаль. Всю жизнь мечтаю там побывать, но пока не получилось. В саму студию попасть, вряд -ли получится, но на том самом переходе сфотографироваться хотя-бы. Я надеюсь, переход-то не продадут?
