Show notes
Unless you’ve been sleeping for the last 97 years, you will have hear something recorded there, be it classical, pop, rock or hip-hop music, or many of the film scores and voiceovers that we see on both our big and little screens.
Nowadays if you want the perfect recording studio, you build it from scratch, to be the perfect recording studio. But with space at a premium in the heart of London in the 1930s and also a lack of understanding of what would be the perfect recording space, Abbey Road Studios came to be born, and it would be a place, not only of incredible recordings, but of discovery, experimentation and innovation, leading us to now know exactly what we mean by the perfect recording space.
Thanks
Thanks to David Hepworth for his amazing book on Abbey Rd. which some of today's episode was taken from.
