Olympic Studios closes: A sad day for music

On January the 30th 2009, Olympic Studios closed its doors for the last time.
This legendary recording studio in South-West London has been the home of music from such great recording artists as Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin in its time, and the closure signifies the end of an era for the recording industry.
Olympic has up until now braved onwards, producing great music by the likes of Eric Clapton, The Who, David Bowie, Thin Lizzy, The Beatles, The Small Faces, King Crimson, Sammy Davis Jr., Paul McCartney, Björk, Roger Waters, INXS, Hawkwind and Queen amongst many others, winning numerous UK recording industry awards for “Best Studio” along the way. 
EMI's decision to sell Olympic, in Barnes, south-west London, comes days after the troubled music group U-turned on a decision to sell Abbey Road studios after public outcry over the future ownership of the site where the Beatles recorded most of their records.
