EMI launch instant live recordings service
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 5 November 2009
EMI are entering into the immediate concert recording business by utilising their iconic Abbey Road brand. Abbey Road Live will be one of those services that records gigs and makes them available to audience members more or less immediately, on CD, USB stick or via digital delivery. The new venture expands on the Live Here Now platform, which was linked to EMI imprint Mute and has already produced instant live recordings for the likes of Depeche Mode, Goldfrapp and Moby. The Abbey Road based service has been in development for a while now, and has already done pilot instant live recordings for Blur, Deadmau5 and the City Of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.
