Abbey Road, the London recording studios immortalised by the Beatles album of the same name, has been put on the market by EMI as the music group looks to extricate itself from the debt burden of Terra Firma's 2007 leveraged buy-out.

The Beatles put the studios on the map, using it for 90 per cent of their recordings between 1962 and 1969 and naming their final album Abbey Road. EMI used the studios for last year's release of remastered Beatles albums.

Pink Floyd recorded Dark Side of the Moon at the studios, which have also been used by Radiohead, the Manic Street Preachers, Travis and Blur.

My hope is that Paul McCartney buys it. In my opinion it would be sad if this does not remain a working studio.

There's a Facebook group that's been set up by some current/ex-employees of Abbey Road Studios, looking at realistic ways of buying/saving it. Having been there with a band for tracking and final mixing it has many fond memories...
