Competition: Abbey Road anniversary editions

50 years ago, The Beatles’ Abbey Road album was released for the first time. It 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.

Featuring tracks such as ‘Come Together’, ‘Here Comes the Sun’, and ‘Something’, the Abbey Road album has become a favourite for many Beatles fans around the world and has truly stood the test of time.

 

 

The album’s cover artwork became one of the most iconic covers in rock ‘n’ roll history. It features the band striding, single-file, across the black and white stripes of Abbey Road’s nearby zebra crossing. Just six photos were taken by photographer Iain Macmillan, 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.

 

 

Due to the success of The Beatles’ album, EMI Recording Studios was renamed Abbey Road Studios. Owned and operated by Universal Music Group, Abbey Road Studios is the most famous recording studio in the world and a global music icon.

 

 

The Beatles are celebrating the album’s golden anniversary with a suite of beautifully presented packages, released on September 27 by Apple Corps Ltd./Capitol/UMe.

The album’s original 17 tracks have been newly mixed by producer Giles Martin and mix engineer Sam Okell in stereo, high res stereo, 5.1 surround, and Dolby Atmos, and are accompanied by 23 session recordings and demos, most of which are previously unreleased. To produce the mix, Giles was guided by the album’s original stereo mix supervised by his father, George Martin.

 

 

To celebrate the new releases, The Beatles Story are giving away four copies of the new Abbey Road anniversary editions, with a picture disc vinyl, double CD set, a 3-vinyl box set, and a 4-CD box set up for grabs. If you want to be in for a chance to win, simply complete the form below:
