OMG, that sounds good just looking at it. Would have been a wild job being a studio tech back in the day. Wonder if those guys made decent money cuz it looks like a lot of work.

Back then they were actual engineers. That why in all the old Abbey Road photos you say all the white lab coats being worn.
