Associated Independent Recording (AIR) Studios in London is up for sale.
Founded by Beatles producer Sir George Martin in 1969, Pink Floyd recorded portions of its “Meddle” album (1971) there. David Gilmour also recorded at the facility during his work with Unicorn, Paul McCartney, Bryan Ferry, John Martyn, Pete Townshend and others.
AIR co-owner Paul Woolf told Billboard, “We’re a pair of old farts, basically. We’ve worked very hard over a number of years to get business in really solid shape, but there’s always a future path and it’s time to go.
“There’s someone out there who’s younger and who has got the tenacity that we had when we were 40,” he added.
The property, housed at London’s Lyndhurst Hall since 1991, contains approximately $6 million worth of equipment.
