New show gives audiences the chance to relive The Beatles time at Abbey Road
TO VISIT Abbey Road in London is to tumble into a real life Magical Mystery Tour. This is the studio where, in a never bettered run from 1962 to 1970, The Beatles recorded some of the most important pop documents of all time. Rubber Soul, Sgt Pepper, the White Album — all were conceived and assembled at Abbey Road, under the patrician gaze of George Martin.
For much of that period, the Beatles had ceased to be a live band. Sick of the hoopla, after 1966 they retreated from performance and threw themselves into the endless possibilities of studio production. No longer burdened by the demands of their screaming fan base, they spread their wings and soared.
