The First Time The Beatles Recordings

Do you know the beatles first recording?
Abbey Road Studios, established in November 1931 by EMI in London, England, is a recording studio located at number 3 Abbey Road, in St John's Wood in the City of Westminster.
Therein the first time the beatles recordings.
Abbey Road Studios is most closely associated with The Beatles, who recorded 90% their albums and singles there between 1962 and 1970.

In the early part of the 1960s, EMI's Abbey Road Studios was equipped with EMI-made British Tape Recorders (BTR) which were developed in 1948, essentially as copies of German wartime recorders. The BTR was a twin-track, valve (Vacuum tube) based machine. When recording on the twin-track machine there was very little opportunity for overdubbing the recording was essentially that of a live performance.

The first two Beatles albums, Please Please Me and With The Beatles, were recorded on BTR two track machines; with the introduction of four-track machines in 1963 (the first 4-track recording was "I Want to Hold Your Hand") there came a change in the way recordings were made—tracks could be built up layer by layer, encouraging experimentation in the recording process.[citation needed]

In 1968 eight-track recorders became available, but Abbey Road was somewhat slow in adopting the new technology and a number of Beatles tracks (including "Hey Jude") were recorded in other studios in London to get access to the new eight-track recorders.

The Beatles' final album, Let It Be, was the only one to be recorded using a transistorised mixing console rather than the earlier valve consoles. Engineer Geoff Emerick has said that the transistorised console played a large part in shaping the album's overall sound, lacking the aggressive edge of the valve consoles.

At the time Paul McCartney says:"We would say, 'Try it. Just try it for us. If it sounds crappy, OK, we'll lose it. But it might just sound good.' We were always pushing ahead: Louder, further, longer, more, different".

And in the end The Beatles created the album.
