Mercury Studios acquires right to distribute Live From Abbey Road series

Mercury Studios, Universal Music Group’s innovative and multi-faceted content studio, has today announced they have acquired the rights to distribute the iconic Live from Abbey Road series. Mercury will represent the classic series globally after a decade off-screen.

Live From Abbey Road revolutionized music television. Produced by Michael Gleason between 2006-2012, the hybrid performance/documentary format showcases many of the world’s most popular and culturally-influential acts within the iconic, intimate setting of Abbey Road studios (also home to some of the greatest recordings of all time). The show’s mix of live performance and interviews attracted an original global audience in over 100 countries, with a stellar mix of A-list, emerging, local and international guests. As true now as then, Live From Abbey Road offers a magical insight into the world of music and its makers.

Commenting on the news, Mercury Studios VP of Content Acquisitions, Amy Freshwater, said: “Recognition for the legendary Abbey Road Studios is global – and the world-class music and compositions recorded within those walls is unrivalled. Mercury are proud to partner on the re-release of one of the most famous showcases of artist versatility and quality; intimately united with a famous location once more.”

“Amy and her team at Mercury are trusted to deliver the very best in music television entertainment,” said Michael Gleason, owner and producer of Live from Abbey Road. “From Sheryl Crow, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Counting Crows, to Ed Sheeran and the legendary David Gilmour, these performances showcase the magic made inside Abbey Road Studios. I’m delighted to see the series re-released to a global audience.”

Live from Abbey Road, produced under a license from Universal Music Group, the owner of Abbey Road Studios, marries the best in sound with the finest in film. Viewers will soon be able to experience the classic series again as Mercury roll out the collection for international sales after ten years off-screen.
