On a bitterly cold Monday, fifty years ago today, the Beatles entered Abbey Road Studios at 9 a.m. – and left almost at midnight that day having recorded the ten songs they needed for their first album, entitled “Please Please Me.”

Happy Anniversary, Rock ‘n’ Roll!

A cool £15,000,000 will get you into the house where the first demo for “Strawberry Fields Forever” was recorded. Don’t think the indoor swimming pool was available back then, though…
