Rock N Roll Spots Part 5: Carnaby Street



Although the pictures do not illustrate the true liveliness of the market, this is Carnaby Street. It is located in London, England and is where the 1960's hippie culture bought their famous clothes. Many people from the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Byrds, etc all swarmed to Carnaby when in London to get a hold of the latest hippie fashion. To this day, Carnaby Street of London features some of the hippest and newest fashions from throughout the world.

New Beatles Records



I just bought two new Beatles albums. The first is Meet the Beatles and the second is Magical Mystery Tour. I picked em up off of EBay for like $5 a piece. I am slowly getting them all, but am still trying to complete my Green Day collection (still need 2) then maybe i can stay the fuck off EBay and save some money. Anyways more historic rock n roll places soon.
Cheers

Rock n Roll Spots Part 4: 3 Saville Row






This is a picture of 3 Saville Row which is located in London, England. Known as the former home of Apple Records and the site of the famous "rooftop session" in 1969 where the Beatles played their last live performance together as one. When you see what a small, residential-type street this is, you'll realize why that "concert" was so special.

Rock n Roll Stops Part 3: Abbey Road / Studio






This is Abbey Road which is located in Westminster England. This is where the Beatles famous Abbey Road album cover was shot. To the right of the famous walk way there is #3 Abbey Road Studios which was purchased by EMI in 1929. After this time period until now, Abbey Road Studio has been regarded as the Mecca of technologically advanced studios. Of course this is where in 1962, George Martin recorded the then unknown Liverpool band called the Beatles. Everyone knows they lived at Abbey Road for the next seven years. After the Beatles success at Abbey Road, such artists as Paul McCartney with is new band Wings and Pink Floyd came to record the albums, including Floyd's masterpiece; Dark Side of the Moon. Since the big rock boom many things have happened there; Lord of the Rings, Return of the Jedi, Raiders of the Lost Arc and Harry Potter among many films have been scored and edited there.
