Beatles' Abbey Road Console Up for Sale

The legendary EMI TG12345 recording console used by The Beatles to create their iconic album Abbey Road is set to go on sale on Reverb starting October 29. This unique console, one of only 17 made, has undergone a five-year restoration process, returning it to operational capability with 70% of its original parts intact. Engineers involved in its history, including Brian Gibson and Dave Harries, emphasize its superior sound quality, which has influenced recordings by all four Beatles during their solo careers. The console was custom-built in 1968, and its distinctive sound has been credited with shaping the future of pop music. While it will be listed at a fixed price, buyers can submit their own offers for the console, which has not been used for decades prior to its restoration. This sale is expected to attract Beatles fans and collectors from around the globe.
