Never inside, tempted to tag along when someone gets something mastered there just to get the photo on the steps and a quick nose around.Have you been to Abbey Road, Ed?
Billy Preston just slotting straight in but can’t contain his excitement at jamming with the Beatles.
some good stuff on this channel
rewatching Anthology again, absolutely glorious. Amazing piece of work all round.
Random thoughts:
People who think Ringo is crap clearly never heard Pete Best. You can see why he had to go from listening to the Decca audition tape. Ringo was essential for the beatles, he was the missing piece of the puzzle.
Some of the early covers really sound fantastic, the BBC radio programmes had some recordings of songs from their set that didn’t make it onto any albums. Just incredible energy when they do their take on rock n roll.
The early songs of his drumming was irritating. He is playing eight notes on an open high hat.I really like the vocal melodies on many of their songs and would love to re do them a bit more modern rock style. The production on most of their stuff was not great to my ears.
What is interesting that Ringo does not stand out as a killer drummer to me, however, Gregg Bissnette and many other killer drummers cite him as a primary influence.
Also, the change from Beatles as the greatest to Zep as the greatest is such a shift -in a good way to my hard rocking mind!
I've been to Abbey Road, My daughter was living in London and bought me a ticket from Canada. I did the walk, about 10 times with my daughter taking the pictures. She later on actually worked for Abbey Road as a contractor. They gave her a t shirt and a key chain with the Abbey rd insignia on it, which she gave to me. You can't even buy those items. I made a little video of me crossing the walk, that she showed them, which they thought was quite funny.Have you been to Abbey Road, Ed?

Rubber Soul, is when the Boy Band thing ended and they took the World on journey.Fantastic one two punch of Rubber Soul and Revolver!
That song is the seed that created Heavy Metal , before Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin or Deep Purple.
Of all the Beatles that suffered the most, it was George Harrison, he had so many songs held back by George Martin and the compositional Juggernaut of Lennon/ McCartney.
That's why in my opinion, All Things Must Pass, was easily the best solo album by any of the former Beatles
This song was rejected by the Beatles ....
