I clean each album using a Studebaker Vinyl Record Cleaner. This process removes decades of accumulated dirt and reduces much of the crackling sound.

If you would like to hear the sound quality of any listing, send a DM to @TheSoundWarehouse on Instagram. I'll place the vinyl on the turntable, shoot a brief video and tag you when posting. If you like what you hear, come back and make the purchase. Take note that merchandise often sells quickly once it's posted on social.

ABOUT THIS ALBUM:

Abbey Road is the eleventh studio album by the English rock band the Beatles, released on 26 September 1969 by Apple Records. Named after the location of EMI Studios in London, the cover features the group walking across the street's zebra crossing, an image that became one of the most famous and imitated in popular music. The album's initially mixed reviews were contrasted by its immediate commercial success, topping record charts in the UK and US. The lead single "Something" / "Come Together" was released in October and topped retail the US charts.

The album incorporates genres such as blues, rock and pop, and makes prominent use of Moog synthesizer, sounds filtered through a Leslie speaker, and tom-tom drums. It is the Beatles' only album recorded exclusively through a solid-state transistor mixing desk, which afforded a clearer and brighter sound than the group's previous records. Side two contains a medley of shorter song fragments. The sessions also produced a non-album single, "The Ballad of John and Yoko" backed with "Old Brown Shoe".
