520    In Solid State, Kenneth Womack offers the most definitive 
       account of the conception, recording, mixing, and 
       reception of Abbey Road. In February 1969, the Beatles 
       began working on what became their final album together. 
       Abbey Road introduced a number of new techniques and 
       technologies to the Beatles' sound and included "Come 
       Together," "Something," and "Here Comes the Sun," which 
       all emerged as classics. Womack's colorful retelling of 
       how this landmark album was written and recorded is a 
       treat for fans of the Beatles. Solid State takes listeners
       back to 1969 and into EMI's Abbey Road Studios, which 
       boasted an advanced solid state transistor mixing desk. 
       Womack focuses on the dynamics between John, Paul, George,
       and Ringo and producer George Martin and his team of 
       engineers, who for the most part set aside the tensions 
       and conflicts that had arisen on previous albums to create
       a work with an innovative (and among some fans and critics,
       controversial) studio-bound sound that prominently 
       included the new Moog synthesizer, among other novelties. 
       As Womack shows, Abbey Road was the culmination of the 
       instrumental skills, recording equipment, and artistic 
       vision that the band and George Martin had developed since
       their early days in the same studio seven years before. A 
       testament to the group's creativity and their producer's 
       ingenuity, Solid State is required reading for all fans of
       the Beatles and the rock 'n' roll. "A fascinating, in-
       depth look at the creation of Abbey Road…Womack displays 
       a detailed and insightful analysis that fans will hope he 
       applies to the band's other albums."  "Womack takes us on 
       a journey through 1969, providing an engaging chronicle of
       the recording of this landmark record. It is a must-read 
       for anyone who knows the album-and the better you know 
       Abbey Road, the more you'll enjoy Solid State." "One of 
       the world's foremost Beatle scholars takes a fascinating 
       tour through the band's final masterpiece. Kenneth Womack 
       sheds light on the struggle and strife behind 'that magic 
       feeling,' as four artists on the verge of splitting apart 
       somehow came together to make some of their best-loved 
       music. Solid State is a brilliant and essential trip." 
       "Solid State takes readers on a memorable walk across 
       Abbey Road and into the hallowed halls of EMI Studios as 
       Beatles expert Kenneth Womack explores the recording of 
       the group's swan song LP. A fab job as always from 
       Womack." "Music writer Womack delivers a fascinating, in-
       depth look at the creation of Abbey Road…a detailed and 
       insightful analysis."
