The Beatles at Abbey Road

The program included a guided tour of Abbey Road's Studio 2, where the Beatles recorded most of their music for EMI in the 1960s; a two-part video presentation narrated by disc jockey Roger Scott,[2] with interviews and rare archival footage; and previously unheard outtakes from the band's recording sessions.

[4] Its staging reflected the elevation of Abbey Road (formerly EMI Studios) to the level of an English cultural location, as well as the enduring popularity of the Beatles, more than ten years after their break-up.

[6] Visitors were offered the chance to experience Studio 2 as the Beatles used to work in it, with microphones and other equipment set up to replicate a typical recording session.

According to EMI, Harrison was delighted to hear his initial solo take of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", from July 1968, and told the company that he would be happy to have the recording released immediately.

[9] A year after The Beatles at Abbey Road, the songs that had been unearthed for the presentation were remixed for a planned album, titled Sessions.
