London (AP) - The photographer Mary McCartney (51), daughter of ex-Beatle Paul McCartney, wants to shoot a documentary about the famous Abbey Road studio.

"If These Walls Could Sing" was the first feature-length documentary about the place where the Fab Four recorded most of their songs, the operators announced on Tuesday.

The recording studio celebrates its 90th anniversary in November.

The name also became famous through the Beatles album of the same name from 1969, which shows the four musicians crossing a zebra crossing on Abbey Road.

"Some of my first memories are from the time I spent on Abbey Road," said Mary McCartney.

"I've wanted to tell the story of this historic place for a long time."

The photographer was born in 1969 as the eldest child of McCartney and his wife Linda, who has since died.

Studio manager Isabel Garvey is already looking forward to the film.

Based on the working title, she said: "If these walls could speak - I've stopped counting the number of times I've heard these words."

The announcement stated that the documentary included interviews with numerous celebrities, an unprecedented look behind the scenes and a fascinating soundtrack.

Abbey Road Studio has been recording music since 1931, when the composer Edward Elgar (“Pomp and Circumstance Marches”) directed a performance there.

Current music stars such as Kanye West and Adele have also used the studio.

The building is now a listed building.
