The release of a new book which documents the history of London’s world famous Abbey Road studios is being celebrated with a competition offering two winners a copy of the publication which is worth £50.
Abbey Road: The Best Studio in the World is being published to coincide with the studio’s 80th anniversary, and the competition can be entered at this link.
“This then is the story of the greatest studio in the world – it was my nursery along with so many brilliant stars who created their work there,” Sir George Martin has said of the release. “It is a terrific story, well told and even though I know most if it I still find it captivating. So imagine you are coming with me up those steps to the doors of Number Three Abbey Road. You will have a super time, I promise you.”
“Our rooms have hosted some of the finest recordings ever made, great artists, composers and musicians, not to mention producers, engineers and technicians who are at the heart of our piece of the creative process,” Jonathan Smith, Senior Vice President EMI Studios, adds. “The Abbey Road Studios story is a fabulous one and this book is a wonderful chronicle.”
Abbey Road was made famous as the spiritual home of The Beatles in the 1960s, and was also the studio of choice for Pink Floyd when they recorded their all time classic ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon‘ album in 1972, while more recent luminaries include the likes of Oasis, Radiohead and Paul Weller.
