From B.B. King to Lady Gaga and
Eric Clapton, this unassuming
building in lower Manhattan has
witnessed key moments in music
history -- and produced a string of
iconic albums along the way. But after 20 years in the business,
Avatar Studios' owners -- husband
and wife Kirk and Chieko Imamura --
have put the business up for sale
and are looking for someone to
preserve its legacy. "It's really a one-of-a-kind building
that houses a one-of-a-kind studio,"
says Kirk. "If this building goes away
for whatever reason, it's
irreplaceable. It would be a real
shame." The price tag for owning this slice of
history? About $27 million. Selling a legacy It's an irreplaceable legacy indeed. David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Cyndi
Lauper, Duran Duran and Meatloaf
all produced songs here, while
Madonna's "Like a Virgin" was
recorded at Avatar more than 30
years ago.

And why they selling it?
