The National Trust may step in to save Abbey Road studios after they were put up for sale by EMI.
The celebrated recording studios in North London, which gave their name to a Beatles album, could be closed if they are sold. Hundreds of people have urged the trust to act. Yesterday Chris Evans used his show on Radio 2 to call for a rescue.

The trust plans to hold talks with Sir Paul McCartney about a rescue,
