Watching America from Abbey Road Studios

from Watching America Hosted by 89.5 WHRV-FM, Norfolk, VA

Abbey Road Studios in London provides rare access to Watching America's host and creator, Dr. Alan Campbell. Aside from providing an iconic image of the Beatles at the famous crosswalk, Abbey Road Studios has served as an inspirational beacon for American recording artists since 1931 when African-American actor and singer Paul Robeson first recorded there. From Glenn Miller to Kanye West, Americans have selected the studios as their "home away from home". This show examines the historical, technical and aesthetic achievements of what many declare to be the most desired recording studio in the world. In particular, concentration is given to the reciprocal interplay between British and American influences on recording techniques. Additionally, out-takes of The Beatle's recordings are generously provided with the insights of the sound engineers that worked on them. Latterly, discussion addresses Abbey Roads Studios' continued work in innovation for the future development of sound platforms.
