http://ppt.cc/BGhd Abbey Road Recording Studios For Sale: Report by Andre Paine, London | February 16, 2010 12:33 EST Abbey Road, the iconic London recording studios, has been put on the market by EMI, according to the Financial Times. EMI declined to comment to Billboard on the prospective sale of the studios, immortalized by the 1969 Beatles album of the same name. But the FT today (Feb. 16) reported that five people familiar with the situation said the major had been courting bidders for the studios at 3 Abbey Road in north London. The FT said the sale could raise tens of millions. That might very slightly ease EMI's debt burden but it seems unlikely that funds would be available by June 2010, to assist in Terra Firma's covenant tests with Citigroup this year when the private equity owner expects to inject up to ￡120 million ($188 million). The Abbey Road brand name would be a key part of any sale, if EMI wants to raise serious money. EMI and Abbey Road is about to launch a branded product range, beginning with clothing, bags and stationery. Abbey Road Live was launched last year that provides live recordings at concerts. EMI bought the property in 1929 and converted it into recording studios. Sir Edward Elgar recorded "Land of Hope and Glory" with the London Symphony Orchestra in studio one in 1931, and the Beatles later recorded the majority of their songs there. Pink Floyd recorded "Dark Side Of The Moon" at Abbey Road and, although it is too expensive for many artists today, the studio is able to accommodate orchestras. It has been used for scores to Hollywood films such as the "Lord Of The Rings" and "Harry Potter" franchises. -- 不要再相互靠近，毁灭不会终止的。在你的未来，我想告诉你： 打破任何我让你产生的想像，努力去爱一个人，但不要过分爱一个人， 适度地爱，也不能完全不爱，那种爱足够让你知道在现实里怎样做对他才是好的， 那种爱足够让你有动力竭尽所能善待对方。即使你因而不爱我了，但没有关系， 我希望你现在和未来活得好，那就是努力去爱别人，虽然我可能无法完全免於悲伤。 －－邱妙津《鳄鱼手记》 --
