� That kind of talk has Beatle expert Tim Riley worried. He's concerned that a takeover of EMI by a (presumably heartless) equity firm could put the famed Abbey Road studios at risk. Abbey Road, of course, was made famous by the Beatles album of the same name. It's also where Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, the White Album, and other irreplaceable milestones of modern music were recorded. [Ironically, the Beatles reportedly hated Abbey Road and the photo on the cover shows them walking away from it. More on this can be found at the full story link which also includes a link to Riley's article about the Wall Street types trying to screw up the music biz even more and make all acts the equivalent to an American Idol pop tart.
