Abbey Road Studios gets protected historical status

Posted by madhack on Feb 23, 2010

A lot of rumors have been flying about EMI potentially selling the famous studios at 3 Abbey Road due to their financial woes. While the company has recently denied plans to sell the most famous studio in the world (recording site of 12 albums by the Beatles, not to mention 7 Floyd albums), the UK has taken action to provide some measure of protection to the studios, giving it a historical listing for its "outstanding cultural interest". As the BBC notes, this doesn't prevent current or future owners from making changes but does require respect for the "character" of the site.
