While there can be a little confusion about the last Beatles album- Abbey Road was the last official Beatles album all four members worked on together. (Let it Be was released after the group disbanded-and is a story for another day.)

This is a wonderfully detailed account of the making of The Beatles' album "Abbey Road" - in fact, for a layman like myself, the level of detail is perhaps a little over the top at times, but for true fans - which may be the primary target audience of the book - I am sure that all details are welcome or even necessary. In February 1969, the Beatles began working on what became their final album together. Abbey Road introduced a number of new techniques and technologies to the Beatles' sound, and included "Come Together," "Something," and "Here Comes the Sun," which all emerged as classics. In some ways the book shows how the four Beatles had developed and grown artistically and in other ways in the six-plus years that they had banded together and risen in popularity, and how what had succeeded for them before with their manager and producer, now was falling away due essentially to new musical talents that were coming up as well as new issues involving politics, and finances. You’ve completed your trip to Abbey Road… now what? Depending on whether you book a studio tour, visitors can expect to spend 30 minutes to a few hours in Abbey Road Studios. A fun trip, sure, but not exactly a full day. The author presents and, as far as I’m concerned, hands-down triumphs, in selling me on his argument in Solid State: The Story of “Abbey Road” and the End of the Beatles that expounds that 1) the Beatles as a group, and 2) Abbey Road as an album are the clear catalyst that moved the entire recording industry forward by leaps and bounds as it relates to Western (and maybe even World?) music.If we have reason to think the items are not from your home but from a business we may ask that you use our trade service or to provide proof it is from your home.

Still, there is a lot of great content here about the inner workings of the Beatles' operations and the relationships among the bandmates as things began to fray. Regent’s Park.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. There was a little more focus on the technical aspects of recording, sound engineering, and production than I expected. Should have guessed that from the title.

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.Timber and all wood including pallets, skirting boards, shelves, laminate/wood flooring and fitted furniture.

What has been going on there for over ninety years has called for skills that are musical, creative, technical, mechanical, interpersonal, logistical, managerial, chemical and, romantics might be tempted add, close to magic. The title of this book, Solid State, refers to the transition in the 1960s in popular music from vacuum tube amplifiers to solid semiconductors, which opened up a world of innovation in music production and sound quality. It also serves as a metaphor for what the Beatles did to popular music - they left the old methods in the dust and paved the way for just about every musician and performer who followed them.

It is amazing how this album came together, considering everything going on behind the scenes. The exciting studio wizardry juxtaposed against the turmoil within the band’s stratosphere, shows the various ways the music is symbolic and a mirror into the lives of the group at that time. While so many things The Beatles did musically inspired people and blazed trails artistically, The Abbey Road album influenced the way music was made and continued to be an example for years to come. Even if you aren’t a diehard fan of The Beatles, this book will still hold your interest, especially if you have any knowledge of recording technology or music history.
