I really have to give it to the engineers and staff at EMI and Apple. Even now 50 years later so many of their albums sound so sonically awesome even though the technology and equipment was so primitive. In the early albums John’s aggressive acoustic guitar playing style was so clear, then Paul’s amazing bass lines from Pepper onwards to the various tones on the White Album and Abbey Road really hold up well today.
Thank you for your video. It also reminded me how much I hate the sound of compression on drums. (I'm not a Geoff Emerick fan. He's muddy, muffled, no dynamics. Other people remix his stuff on other artist's albums he did. I'm with Ken Scott. Phil McDonald. John Leckie. Alan Parsons. They rule.)
I will say something heretical which is I don't think "Abbey Road" sounds that good. They made better stereo mixes but the actual sounds are kinda brittle and thin sounding. The best sounding Beatles album is actually "Beatles For Sale."
Thats a really interesting point, it does sound great ,although it was likely recorded in a very similar way to Hard days Night but sounds a lot better!
I’m going to be recording at Abbey Road at the end of October and I can’t wait!
Fantastic! I’d love to do the same one day..
I'm reading on 6/18/24 what happened? any link to the result?
It's a really great album. A perfect way to ride off into the sunset...✌️

Well said! It does make you wonder how things would have turned out if Decca signed them when they had the chance..

The Moog use on Abbey Road is subtle and sublime where others may have made it sound cheesy
I LOVE this channel! Keep up the great work!! (Proudly subscribed!!)
Thank you! 🙂
Great stuff.. I didn't quite realize how much the moog did on this. I right by the moog museum currently as a matter of fact
Abbey Road was the first album that turned me on to how unbelievably amazing good music can be. Still my favourite Beatles album by far
It really is great, even more so considering the state of their relationship at the time.
Fantástico vídeo. Gracias y un saludo desde España.
Muchas gracias!
Great video as always! Thanks
Thank you!
Please make one on Sgt Pepper’s 🙏🙏🙏
I will for sure!
"..when George was on bass duty..." sums up the band doesn't it ;-)

Abbey Road sounds like nothing else, and I can’t put my finger on what makes it so unique. It’s iconic.
