Music fans are campaigning for Abbey Road to be saved following reports that music group EMI plans to sell the famous recording studios.
Beatles fans are using Facebook and Twitter to urge a U.K. charity to save the world-famous Abbey Road Studios where the group recorded most of their songs.
Abbey Road was made famous by the Beatles’ album “Abbey Road”, picturing John, Paul, Ringo and George on the crosswalk outside the studio.
Apparently the Studio’s owner, EMI Group Ltd., has put the site up for sale to cut debt according to the Business Week.
“It’s not often that the public spontaneously suggests that we should acquire a famous building. If there is enough momentum, we may launch a campaign to save the studios.” The National Trust said on its Website.
” Its Britain’s last stand for culture. weve lost the empire, our national identity and cadburys. don’t let us lose our music to!” writes a member of SAVE ABBEY ROAD group on Facebook.
“abbey road is the heart of british music!” writes another.
“if we all put in a pound and help the national trust buy it for the nation come on if you loved only one of the beatles numbers then get on board,” writes another.
The group has around 1300 members, and around a hundred people have sign the online petition to EMI from the group to save Abbey Road.
