A console used to record the Beatles’ Abbey Road album and found discarded in a skip is due to be auctioned off after a four-year restoration project.
Malcolm Jackson and his son Hamish Jackson, who are both from Hertfordshire, have worked within a wider group to restore the one-of-a-kind EMI TG12345 console.
It was used to record the Beatles’ hit album in the north London studios, which was released on 26 September 1969. It was later donated to a school that discarded it in a skip.
It was subsequently found but left unused for years before the project was started, and will now be auctioned by online music marketplace, Reverb, , externalon 29 October.
