It appears that the advent of computer recording is responsible for killing off recording studios employing older technology . In that sense Abbey Road has become a victim of technological advances.

Re: Abbey Road Studios - For Sale
Hopefully the BBC, Sony, or some TV/Movie group can turn it into a TV/Movie/Animation studio (if the times don't require a recording studio),....so it doesn't have to be razed for condos. There were major renovations done there over the years but it's still an old structure and that is a very high rent district.

Hey, we can all chip in and buy it!
It would be a shame for it to go; isn't there a UK equivalent to this?

Maybe not his home studio, but it would be nice if he bought it and kept is as a studio.

He can certainly afford it. It'd be really great if that happened, I think.servant wrote:Macca should buy it for his "home studio."![]()
Re: Abbey Road Studios - For Sale
We walked to his house from the studio last year so now I know he did not have far to walk whenever he went there.
Re: Abbey Road Studios - For Sale
Paul should definitely buy it.
