The day ended with a cover of Twist and Shout, which had to be recorded last because John Lennon had a particularly bad cold and Martin feared the throat-shredding vocal would ruin Lennon's voice for the day. Martin admitted: "It was a straightforward performance of their stage repertoire - a broadcast, more or less." However, when time constraints intervened, he decided to book them at EMI Studios in Abbey Road instead and record them virtually live. George Martin initially contemplated recording the album live at the Cavern in front of the group's home audience and visited the Liverpool club on 9 December 1962 to consider the technicalities. Optimistically, only two sessions were originally booked. In only three sessions on that same day they succeeded in producing an authentic representation of the band's early-time sound, as well as one of the best records ever, as there were very few overdubs and edits. The recording was a rush that lasted 9 hours and 45 minutes. Ten more tracks were needed and therefore, at 10:00 am on Monday, 11 February 1963, The Beatles and George Martin started recording.
This record was ment to be their first LP., but the group had so far recorded only four songs and the norm for British 12’’ vinyl pop albums at that time was to have seven tracks on each side. We've been recording all day but the longer we go on the better they get." Now available for preorder, the album’s 17 tracks are newly mixed by producer Giles Martin and mix engineer Sam Okell in stereo, high res stereo, 5.1 surround, and Dolby Atmos, accompanied by 23 session recordings and demos, most of which are previously unreleased."I don't know how they do it. The Beatles will celebrate Abbey Road’s anniversary with a suite of beautifully presented packages to be released worldwide on September 27 by Apple Corps Ltd./Capitol/UMe. Released September 26, 1969, Abbey Road was not The Beatles’ final album, as Let It Be followed in 1970, but it was the last one John, Paul, George, and Ringo recorded together as a band. Just six photos were taken, with the fifth selected as the cover shot for The Beatles’ penultimate studio album, Abbey Road, named after the tree-lined street in which the studios are located. With photographer Iain Macmillan balanced on a stepladder and one policeman stopping the street’s light traffic, The Beatles crossed back and forth three times, led by John Lennon, followed by Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison.
It was 50 years ago today, on August 8, 1969, that the world’s most famous band stepped out from London’s EMI Recording Studios to stride, single-file, across the black and white stripes of Abbey Road’s nearby zebra crossing.
