About this deal

He was one of the presenters of the BBC rock music programme The Old Grey Whistle Test and one of the anchors of the corporation’s coverage of Live Aid in 1985. Does get a little technical at times, but the story of the music and artistes takes the reader on quite a journey. Adam has an MS in journalism from Boston University and a BA in literature from American University. uk will use the information you provide on this form to be in touch with you and to provide updates and marketing. He is the radio columnist for the Saturday Guardian and a regular media correspondent for the newspaper.

Even into the late ‘90s, rock bands (rare as they were at the time) like Travis were still coming to Abbey Road to see if they couldn’t capture a bit of the old building’s magic on tape. Whilst it took me nearly a month to get through anyway - mainly because I don't get the time to devote to my reading - it was not because I did not want to read it, but because I was always busy with something else.

David Hepworth skriver som vanlig med stort hjerte for musikken og menneskene, med gripende formuleringer og mange tiår med innsikt i populærmusikkens vesen. It may have begun life as an affluent suburban house, but it soon became a creative hub renowned around the world as a place where great music, ground-breaking sounds and unforgettable tunes were forged - nothing less than a witness to, and a key participant in, the history of popular music itself. First published in 1981 this latest updated edition of Abbey Road contains new chapters and many previously unseen pictures. She has faced abuse and mistreatment of many kinds over the decades, but she touches on the most appalling passages lightly—though not so lightly you don't feel the torment of the media attention on the events leading up to her divorce from Tommy Lee.

Of course, I especially liked reading about The Beatles and how they recorded at the studios, and as I read, I found myself yearning to visit the studios. The first time I crossed the threshold of Abbey Road Studios for a work assignment, I had to keep reminding myself that I was a journalist and not a fan with a laptop.Encounters with a variety of hardworking dancers, drag queens, and pimps, plus an account of the complexities of a first love with a drug-addled hustler, fill out the memoir with personality and candor. The Beatles and Pink Floyd get the most prominence, but it also covers the many other genres and roles the studio covers - classical, film scores, mastering etc, all feature heavily. In 1976, studio head Ken Townsend boldly recast the facilities as Abbey Road Studios in keeping both with the building's famous address and the album — and its legend-making cover photo — that punctuated the Beatles' spectacular career.

A lovely brief history of the studio and technicians of Abbey Road Studios, made eternally famous by the Beatles. The Beatles final album, Abbey Road, turned the studios into a household name, and they remain a shrine to John, Paul, George and Ringo. It's the chronological history of a recording studio that everybody born in the last century is familiar with. All types of music are covered as fitting for the studio, but its hard to avoid the dominance of two giant records that were recorded here: The Beatle’s Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, and Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon.

Her anecdotes are humorous, heartfelt, and supremely captivating, recounted with the passion of a true survivor and the acerbic wit of a weathered, street-wise New Yorker.
