You’ve completed your trip to Abbey Road… now what? Depending on whether you book a studio tour, visitors can expect to spend 30 minutes to a few hours in Abbey Road Studios. A fun trip, sure, but not exactly a full day. This is a wonderfully detailed account of the making of The Beatles' album "Abbey Road" - in fact, for a layman like myself, the level of detail is perhaps a little over the top at times, but for true fans - which may be the primary target audience of the book - I am sure that all details are welcome or even necessary.

No manual handling assistance will be available.Abbey Road has long been my favorite album by The Beatles, even more than their epic Sgt. Pepper. In this light, I knew little about their making of this epic album. For a total disclaimer, I'm already biased about this album. I can really recommend this book. Whether you are a true fan, or just trying to learn something new about the music of the Beatles, I'm certain you'll enjoy it. I absolutely loved it. It is amazing how this album came together, considering everything going on behind the scenes. The exciting studio wizardry juxtaposed against the turmoil within the band’s stratosphere, shows the various ways the music is symbolic and a mirror into the lives of the group at that time. While so many things The Beatles did musically inspired people and blazed trails artistically, The Abbey Road album influenced the way music was made and continued to be an example for years to come.
Still, there is a lot of great content here about the inner workings of the Beatles' operations and the relationships among the bandmates as things began to fray. The author presents and, as far as I’m concerned, hands-down triumphs, in selling me on his argument in Solid State: The Story of “Abbey Road” and the End of the Beatles that expounds that 1) the Beatles as a group, and 2) Abbey Road as an album are the clear catalyst that moved the entire recording industry forward by leaps and bounds as it relates to Western (and maybe even World?) music.Overall, this is an interesting book, especially for Beatles fans, but also for anyone who enjoys music history. Many people will recognise the famous zebra crossing. 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?

The work on "Abbey Road" would start shortly afterward as a more traditional studio album. In the previous work on what would be "Let it be" to a return to a more live sound, which fizzled. The subsequent work on "Abbey Road" was a return to studio work and sound which had become the group's strength at the time. It turned into the group's final work together which highlighted how much their sound had matured. Sadly the book ends with the group disbanding(spoiler: John quit first). which was quite sad but seemed inevitable.
Great Deal
