Disney Original Documentary Will Partner With Abbey Road Studios’ ‘If These Walls Could Sing’ Film

Disney Original Documentary has announced a partnership with Mercury Studios and Ventureland for the worldwide streaming of “If These Walls Could Sing”, the documentary film about the legendary Abbey Road Studios.


About Abbey Road Studios

Abbey Road Studios is the most famous recording studio in the world.

Originally a nine-bedroom Georgian townhouse built in 1831, Number 3, Abbey Road in Liverpool, England, was purchased by the Gramophone Company in 1929.

Although initially a venue for classical recordings, studio bookings soon embraced jazz and big bands, as well as early 1950s British rock & roll records, including Sir Cliff Richard’s debut single “Move It “.

Of course, Abbey Road Studios is synonymous with the Beatles, who not only immortalized the studio on an album cover, but recorded 190 of their 210 songs in the studios with producer Sir George Martin.

She brings to the film a unique and personal perspective on the history of Abbey Road: “Some of my earliest memories as a young child come from my time at Abbey Road. I’ve long wanted to tell the story of this historic place and couldn’t partner with a better team than Mercury Studios to make that creative ambition a reality.

The film was produced by John Battsek, through his company Ventureland.
