    Interesting looking studios! Nice looking B&W's taking charge of the sounds!

    It just about works on Android... but crashed a few times.

    Looks like you need a pair of B&Ws to optimise playback of Abbey Road recordings.

    Great virtual visit. Amazing place. A friend of mine has just finished recording there - and was blown away by the experience (and some of the instruments that he was able to use)

    If anyone needs a covers band...



    (Sam - the guitarist is perhaps the most amazing young musician I have met. Equally comfortable on keyboards and drums - he can sing a bit too. Oh to be young and have talent)
