Recalls happier times when Abbey Road was throbbing to the pop sounds of the 60s
Adrian Edwards
In the week that Terra Firma, owners of EMI, put Abbey Road studios on the market, this two-disc release recalls happier times when that building was throbbing to the sounds of The Hollies, The Beatles, The Animals and many more. Nor were the studios confined to pop: the restaurant queue included conductor Herbert Von Karajan, who remarked to his players in the Philharmonia Orchestra that, "those boys (The Beatles) are paying for our recordings”. Ah, the heady days of the 1960s.
