From film scores for 'Star Wars' and 'Harry Potter,' to jazz legend Shirley Bassey, and Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side Of the Moon, ' the studio has been home to seminal recordings. But 90 years in, it is revered because of one band. Hepworth: "Thanks to four young millionaires who couldn't be bothered to do anything more than to step onto a zebra crossing..." At some points though, the book grew tedious. I don't have a huge interest in which exact machine was used for what sound in what year on whatever record. A little bit is, of course, welcome, but Hepworth took it overboard a lot, seemingly showing off his knowledge - or researching skills. If you are bringing in a lot of mixed items including chargeable materials everything will be subject to the charges. If you sort the items in to chargeable and not chargeable before coming to the HRRC you can avoid paying a charge on everything and only pay for the weight of the chargeable items. What has been going on there for over ninety years has called for skills that are musical, creative, technical, mechanical, interpersonal, logistical, managerial, chemical and, romantics might be tempted add, close to magic. Abbey Road: The Inside Story of the World's Most Famous Recording Studios is a book which fills a gap in the market. Abbey Road Studios needed a definitive history, and one that could be updated as the years pass. Hepworth has fulfilled that fabulously. His in-depth research and acute eye for detail is matched against none, He seems to cover every single year of the last 91 that the studios, from the first artist to record there to the last.

Abbey Road, det legendariske platestudioet i London hvor musikalsk magi har blitt skapt siden 1931. Aller mest kjent for platene The Beatles spilte inn der, ikke minst fordi det siste bandet spilte inn i studioet fikk navnet Abbey Road. Og fotgjengerfeltet i gaten utenfor ble ikonisk på grunn av platecoveret. Booker T and The MGs do their own version of the photo for their cover version of the Abbey Road album, McLemore Avenue in 1970. I am not a huge fan of Hepworth's work. Whilst he always seems to write about things which I want to read, I find his style quite tiresome to get through. It hurts my head, sometimes. I don't know what it is. Of course, I especially liked reading about The Beatles and how they recorded at the studios, and as I read, I found myself yearning to visit the studios. I have been across the zebra crossing outside, of course, but have never been inside. Occasionally, the studio runs tours - I MUST go to one of these.How could this not be totally engrossing. It's the chronological history of a recording studio that everybody born in the last century is familiar with. Most importantly our tour guide is David Hepworth who in my opinion is the greatest living writer on contemporary music. Err, maybe that's a big call. What has been going on there for over ninety years has called for skills that are musical, creative, technical, mechanical, interpersonal, logistical, managerial, chemical and, romantics might be tempted to add, close to magic. We have a zero tolerance approach to verbal and physical abuse of our staff. Please respect our staff who are working hard to provide a service for you. Jeg blir aldri lei av å lytte til eller lese om The Beatles, men David Hepworth sin bok er suveren fordi den rommer så mye mer. Den rommer hele historien fra 1931, om artistene jeg aldri har hørt om. Artur Schnabel, som spilte inn alle Beethovens 32 pianosonater gjennom 1930-tallet. Jacqueline du Pré, en usedvanlig begavet cellist som døde av multippel sklerose i en alder av 42 år. Og et utall andre artister som har gitt meg en trang til et dypdykk på Spotify.

Many people will recognise the famous zebra crossing. Some visitors may have graffitied their name on its hallowed outer walls. Others might even have managed to penetrate the iron gates. But what draws in these thousands of fans here, year after year? What is it that really happens behind the doors of the most celebrated recording studio in the world?

We are now collecting some items for reuse and redistribution to local community groups/activities including laptops, some furniture, baby items and bicycles. Ask staff for more details.The white Volkswagen Beetles that bears a number plate saying “28IF” - Paul would have been 28 IF he’d had survived (he’d actually just turned 27); the police van on the cover is usually seen at traffic fatalities; and the four Beatles represent a funeral procession: George is the gravedigger, Paul is the corpse, Ringo is the congregation and John is the priest. A lovely brief history of the studio and technicians of Abbey Road Studios, made eternally famous by the Beatles.
