Phil O'Keefe Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 If so, you might want to consider buying the former Power Station / current Avatar studios in Manhattan. Nice place, and I wouldn't mind having it (and I REALLY hope it stays open and remains a recording studio after the sale...) but it's a bit more than I can afford... http://www.prosoundnetwork.com/article/nyc%E2%80%99s-avatar-studios-up-for-sale/19995 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ernest Buckley Posted September 29, 2015 Members Share Posted September 29, 2015 I contacted them around 4 years ago, asking about booking. It said on their site that they offered discounted pricing for sessions starting at midnight… they never called me back. Amazing. Now they`re looking to close up shop…. makes you wonder… If people actually called people back, they may actually stay in business…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mikeo Posted October 6, 2015 Members Share Posted October 6, 2015 Abbey Road was up for sale about 5 years I believe .It was sell for some un-godly amount of money and the British government stepped and put the building on the historic land mark register. I personally feel it was important save in many ways. I don't think it ever sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 I followed that very closely. No, EMI didn't sell it, and it's now protected, so any significant changes to it have to be approved. I think that was a great thing for the British government to do. There's a few US studios that I think deserve similar historical recognition and protection - not all of them, but definitely a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
