Abbey Road Studios got its start in the [[film score|film scoring]] business in 1980 when Anvil Post Production formed a partnership with the studio, called Anvil-Abbey Road Screen Sound; with ''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark (soundtrack)|Raiders of the Lost Ark]]'' being the first major film soundtrack recorded in Studio 1. The partnership started when Anvil was left without a scoring stage when [[Denham Film Studios|Denham Studios]] were demolished. It ended in 1984 when EMI merged with [[Thorn Electrical Industries]] to become [[Thorn EMI]]. Abbey Road's success in the scoring business continued after the partnership ended.{{Citation needed|date=May 2019}}

From 18 July to 11 September 1983, the public had a rare opportunity to see inside the Studio Two room, where the Beatles made most of their records. While a new mixing console was being installed in the control room, the studio was used to host a video presentation called ''[[The Beatles at Abbey Road]]''. The soundtrack to the video had a number of recordings that were not made commercially available until the release of ''[[The Beatles Anthology]]'' project over a decade later.<ref>''[[The Beatles Book]]'' July & August 1983.</ref>

In September 2012, with the takeover of EMI, the studio became the property of [[Universal Music Group|Universal Music]]. It was not one of the entities that were sold to Warner Music as part of [[Parlophone]] and instead the control of Abbey Road Studios Ltd was transferred to [[Virgin Records]].
