"“Tourists come to England and they can go to Abbey Road, but they can't go inside [and] it snares up the traffic and the drivers get really annoyed,” he said. “So I thought this was a terrific idea.”"
"“Well, you go in on the ground floor, and there's memorabilia and stuff like that. Then you work your way up through the building, and [see] various things that happened here and there, until you get to the top, where you go out on the roof and pretend to be a Beatle.”"
"“You know, a retail thing... but you want that,” Sir Paul said. “You even want that at the National Trust, you know? You've got to have a souvenir.”"
"“George didn't want to do it and Ringo started saying he didn't really see the point” “Then John said, 'Oh, [expletive] it - let's go do it.'"
A Grade II listed mansion at 3 Savile Row will become an official Beatles exhibition space. The building served as the band’s headquarters from 1968 to 1972 and includes the basement where Let It Be was recorded. The venue will feature seven floors of memorabilia and never-before-seen archive material. It will include a recreation of the basement studio and an experience that lets visitors relive the rooftop concert on the exact spot where it happened. Visitors will move from the ground floor through displays to the roof, where they can “pretend to be a Beatle.” A shop will sell licensed Beatles products.
