Now the extraordinary story of Abbey Road, the most famous recording studio in the world created behind the front door of an elegant residential house in affluent St John’s Wood, has been told in thrilling (and very witty) detail by David Hepworth, one of the country’s most respected music journalists and foundereditor of some of the best music magazines — Q, The Word and Mojo.

Indeed, when Sir Edward Elgar officially opened the ground-breaking Abbey Road studio in November 1931, he conducted Land of Hope and Glory on stage with his orchestra ‘apparently ready to give a performance rather than make a recording’. The audience included George Bernard Shaw, alongside EMI bigwigs.

There’s nothing there at all. She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah.’ ITV presenter reveals his wife, 30, has been diagnosed with rare and incurable brain cancer just months after she gave birth to their first child A few months later, Clare was in a record shop, heard what was playing, and thought, hang on a mo, ‘That’s me!’

Emma Stone stars with DOLL in surreal Athens photo-shoot by The Favourite director... and quips that she wishes all her films were SILENT I don’t think they particularly appreciate what makes a great record great. A classic example of this – and this is an act more identified with Abbey Road than just about anybody – is the Beatles. Really, we talk about them as great songwriters. All right. Fair enough. Rod Stewart is dwarfed by 6ft1 wife Penny Lancaster and 6ft4 Alistair as he takes his son out for his 18th birthday THERE’S SO MUCH MORE. Cliff. Bowie. Travis. Kanye West. Lady Gaga. Amy Winehouse. Adele. Can’t keep up. Can’t stop reading. Thirty years later writers like Ian MacDonald were still trying to understand what they had managed to do at the end of this session. The intensity of “Twist And Shout” didn’t simply come from the performance. It also came from the manner of the recording. At the height of the beat mania of the winter of 1963 lots of young bands would be going into the studio for the first time to turn their live act into their first album. Most of the time that would result in little more than at worst a sobering reminder of their shortcomings and at best a useful audition tape. “Twist And Shout” by the Beatles was something more than that. It communicated how their music felt, which was a different thing entirely. It conveyed the excitement the Beatles could generate. It also seemed to communicate how excited they felt about that excitement. It conveyed them.When the record first came out there were just three channels of television but there was a record shop on every street. It was the same year as Led Zeppelin II, In the Court of the Crimson King and the second album by the Band. Abbey Road went straight to number one and remained there for months.
