4. Well, some diety certainly spent some extra time there

To create such a unique genius.

3. But seriously

The funny thing is, Atlantic records had 8 track multirecording at the time and had had it for years. Their primary engineer and designer Tom Dowd was amazed at the primitive tech that Abbey Road had at the time.

5. 2 pairs of fours

or one 8 track?

i think they thought it wasn't necessary.

6. One eight track

I think he got the second one built by Ampex.

You should see the documentary Tom Dowd & the Language of Music

http://imdb.com/title/tt0343107/

It will truly change your view of how some of the great music of the second half of the last century came to be.

He was an amazing guy.

8. If you like that stuff.. you have to get this

http://www.recordingthebeatles.com/


I got mine in the mail the other day and it is just too much. It is all about Abbey Road, the studios, the equipment, the engineers, the producers... everything. 500 something pages. Then they go in to some of the Beatles sessions. I have only paged thru it and it looks so fucking cool..lol.
