And that got us thinking... What track would you play first at Abbey Road?

 

[RoA]

Ornette Coleman - Lonely woman

 

[jjbomber]

Has to be Dark Side Of The Moon, though Beatles fans will disagree.

 

[Revolutions]

Website doesn’t work.

I’ve heard the speakers in the control rooms of 1 & 3. “Breathtaking” is a fitting cliche to describe the playback of a track from Lord of the Rings via the original stems.

 

[abacus]

Yep, Dark Side of The Moon

Bill

 

[SteveH72]

The Beatles - Come Together
Followed by the rest of Abbey Road, obviously…..
What else? 😉

 

[RoA]

Next someone will suggest the Lord of the Rings tune. C'mon guys, be less boring 🙂

 

[matthewpianist]

Barclay James Harvest - Once Again. It was recorded there.

Already been done. Do try to keep up!

I think the idea is to get something a bit left field and not the usual suspects.
I'll go with this as it's probably the finest "Indie band" all analogue recoding in recent years.
If you happen to purchase the cd version and load it into Roon, you'll find it has been given a dr rating of 18, unheard of in this genre of music.

Black Country New Road "Ants from up there"

6 years to their 100yr anniversary.

To be politically correct, a jubilee performance should include a non white immigrant musician, disabled and practising wokism. Ah yes, he/she/them should be over 118 years of age.
