Abbey Road: The Inside Story of the World’s Most Famous Recording Studio (with a foreword by Paul McCartney)

Product Information

This joyful read offers a time-traveling experience, shedding light on the rapid evolution of our listening habits, the enduring impact of certain bands, and the pivotal role played by a studio that housed it all. 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. It's very recognisable, but doesn't lend itself so well to fact-based subjects, and as a result this doesn't come across as a definitive history of the famous studios. All types of music are covered as fitting for the studio, but its hard to avoid the dominance of two giant records that were recorded here: The Beatle’s Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, and Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon.

Readers will be glad that Anderson eventually turned to writing prose, since the well-told anecdotes and memorable character sketches are what make it a page-turner.

Hepworth uses sound recording and one legendary studio as a palette to capture this arc of systemic change, how it impacts everyone along the chain in different ways, and explored all of its attendant pluses and minuses, depending on your perspective.main drawbacks with book - DH does go into a lot of ( probably too much) detail of the different technologies ( although it does mean the information is in one place ) and his writing can be a bit tortuous , Having said that I found it a very good read. While the Beatles play the major role in this detailed history (Sir Paul actually wrote the book's foreward) there are stories from an eclectic collection of other artists.
