So who owns it at the moment? I understood there were plans afoot to
use it as a museum of recording or something.


Unluess I have mis-skimmed this article, it appears to belong to EMI
who has debt problems and it's being hinted/alluded/suggested that
the studio is a victim of the Internet and 'digital'
(distribution)...???

With tourism being the only active industry left in this country, it
would make good sense to turn it into a temple to the Beatles with
souves, some fun rides, novelty rock and a visitor's shop/caff &...


Good idea, they could pass an act of parliament forcing Paul Mcartney
to work behind the counter at the cafe 7 days a week, might stop him
making any more dreadful recordings.




It's strange: to be a succesful composer it seems you either need to be
a bit of a knobber (see Subject) or die tragically young?



He wasn't one of my favourite composers but OTOH he never did anything truly
dreadful, unlike McCartney who has to answer for 'Mull of Kintyre', possibly my
most loathed recording of all time...err no wait...maybe it was his Frog Song.

In the early days, the Beatles were such tits in front of an interviewer's
microphone it is easy to underestimate just how good they were as a rock and

I'd love to post some clips, but you know how it is with this sort of
