A collection of photographs featuring ordinary-looking recording equipment that helped create music history is to go on display in London.
A new Abbey Road photography exhibition will explore “almost a century of music history”.
The recording studios in north London are closely associated with The Beatles, and fans of the Fab Four will get a look at the inside of the Sgt Pepper album’s mono master tape, alongside a famous Neumann U48 microphone used on countless vocals.
Abbey Road said the exhibition, which is free, is a “reflection on how music photography not only captures moments of creation, but shapes how music is seen, felt and remembered in our own lives”.
