There is never a bad time to celebrate The Beatles. Can you think of many bands who connected so completely and creatively as The Fab Four? And this legend was only reinforced with Peter Jackson’s Get Back series on Disney (which made your Admin burst into tears (of joy) several times.) Having been brought up during their reign, and looking back and comparing with much of today’s music, for us, there is no comparison. There are few bands that could jump from one style to another with such aplomb, confidence and sense of humour as John, Paul, George and Ringo.
And, of course, where would they have been without producer George Martin’s steady hand and incredible knowledge of musical history that put the icing on the rich Beatles cake. And where would Sir George have been if he did not have the state-of-the-art Abbey Road Studios back then. It was a perfect storm, one that really hasn’t been bested, in our opinion. And Abbey Road still continues to produce music of note.
Have you visited Abbey Road when in London? Maybe the famous crosswalk, but did you know that you can also visit their shop? Beatles (and other) memorabilia are yours to take home.
And don’t forget that bands like Pink Floyd have used Abbey Road studios (for Dark Side of the Moon.) And, so has your Admin, many moons ago.
