Post Description

In 1983, for the first and only time, the doors to Abbey Road's famous studio were opened to the public, for a tour and audio-video presentation. Fans were treated to a tour of the famous Number 2 Studio, which had remained virtually unchanged from the days of the sixties where the Beatles recorded from 1962-1969.

Starting July 11th, the doors were opened seven days a week through September 11th, with threeshows per day at 10:30 am, 3:30 pm and 7:30 pm. Tickets sold for about $7.00 U.S. In all, the presentation and tour was given 168 times.

After a short tour of the facility, the fans were seated in the Number 2 Studio for a ninety minute video presentation featuring rare film clips and promotional videos with previously unreleased Beatles recordings. This was the first time that EMI had ever permitted the public performance of Beatles outtakes. Free refreshments were served, and in one corner was a booth offering T-shirts, posters, stickers, road signs, postcards and other Beatles souvenirs.
