Beatles for Sale

Don't let me down! Abbey Road is reportedly up for sale. The recording studio is to be sold in order to help EMI's finances, which seem to be in a very bad state. The British music industry is hoping the company won't let them down by letting this landmark in British recording history disappear forever. If you ever go to Abbey Road you'll invariably find people crossing the street and taking photos. I wouldn't like to see a fast food restaurant in the place where the fab four recorded some of their albums. I really feel it would be a pity to lose Abbey Road. Do you think you could afford to buy it?
