**The incredible history of how Abbey Road became the most famous
recording studio in the world.
**
"There are certain things that are mythical. Abbey Road is
mythical."--Nile Rodgers
Many people will recognize the famous crosswalk. 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?
It may have begun life as an affluent suburban house, but it soon became
a creative hub renowned around the world as a place where great music,
ground-breaking sounds, and unforgettable tunes were forged. It is
nothing less than a witness to, and a key participant in, the history of
popular music itself.
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. The history of Abbey Road may just make you believe.
