Product Information

Lastly, a large part of the charm of reading Abbey Road is that it's clearly written for an English audience.

While the main interest in this book is the arc of the impressive 90 year history of Abbey Road, I'd also recommend it to those interested in the histories of popular music, pop culture, the music business and music recording including all of its technical aspects. Sanitise your hands before and after touching items at the site, staff are spraying and cleaning handrails and bins but you can never be too careful. We've so far been able to start collecting bicycles, furniture, laptops, children's toys and disability equipment etc. All culminating in one very special night at Abbey Road Studios celebrating the art of music photography AND the photographers behind the lens.

Whatever is produced must show your current home address, the one where the waste you’re bringing comes from.

Before The Beatles came along, Abbey Road’s main claim to fame was being a stone’s throw from the location of Lord’s cricket ground. As a general guide, a charge will apply for the type of items that you wouldn’t take with you when moving house, e.

On that day John, George and Ringo were working on I Want You (She’s So Heavy) and The End inside the studio, while Macca worked on Oh!

For me, the main and most interesting point to taker from the narrative is that the music that we have listened to and loved was the product of a combination of the artists themselves who supplied the vision of what they wanted to achieve, and the technicians and producers, without whom the sounds that we hear could not have been made reality.

Fascinating history of Abbey Road from 1931 when it was constructed in the gardens of a suburban Georgian villa. These studios still exist and this book covers all the great bands and albums made there but also deals with the challenges along the way and the studios reinvention in the 21st century to embrace the modern Digital age and todays music.
