London's legendary Abbey Road studios will be opening to the public for the first time in March for a series of film screenings.
The studio complex, best known as the home to most of the Beatles' recordings, will be recognising some of the prominent film scores that have been recorded at Abbey Road over the last two decades.
A spokesman for the studios told reporters yesterday: "In these unique surroundings, the season will give a glimpse of the role that Abbey Road plays in maintaining London's pre-eminence as the world's greatest centre for film scoring".
The season opens on 19 Mar with 'Raiders Of The Lost Ark' - the first movie scored at Abbey Road in 1981. The season will also include 'The Talented Mr Ripley', 'The Lord Of The Rings' trilogy and 'Gangs Of New York'. Aptly the season will close with two films linked to Abbey Road in a slightly different way - Beatles films 'A Hard Day's Night' and 'Yellow Submarine'.
