EMI yesterday denied reports it’s looking to sell its iconic Abbey Road recording facility, where loads of renowned bands, including Pink Floyd, have recorded over the years.
Terra Firma, which has owned EMI since 2007, said in a release that it’s “holding preliminary discussions for the revitalization of Abbey Road with interested and appropriate third parties.”
However, it added, selling the studios to a third party is not its goal.
When news broke last week it caused a flurry of protests, including the formation of an organization calling itself Save Abbey Road Studios. The group, comprised of studio employees, musicians, and fans, put online a petition to build support to save the facility from redevelopment.
The petition is still online.

A couple days ago, we reported the planned sale of EMI’s legendary recording facilities on Abbey Road, London, to raise much-needed cash for the label’s parent company.
That same day a group of studio employees, musicians and fans formed Save Abbey Road Studios! to try and keep the property a working recording facility. The group’s fear: The facility will be converted into a museum of some sort, or, worse, luxury housing.
The group’s put a petition on its Web site that’s, so far, gathered 249 electronic signatures in support of its mission.
You can lend your support and sign the petition here.

Join us for a special show devoted to early Floyd producer Norman “Hurricane” Smith. Smith, who passed away March 3, 2008, would have turned 87 on Feb. 22.
We’ll play early Floyd produced by the man who signed the band to EMI, along with material from Pretty Things, Barclay James Harvest and others.
We’ll also hear Smith’s own 1972 hit, as well as interview segments with him talking about his work with Pink Floyd.
