Best Answer

Abbey Road was the location of EMI's London headquarters, and also the company's recording studios. The studios themselves adopted the Abbey Road name, after the attention drawn to them by the recording artists who worked there. Most of The Beatles' records were made in Studio Two. In 1969, wanting to go out on a positive note, the Beatles persuaded producer George Martin and recording engineer Geoff Emerick to return to work with them at Abbey Road. Their last album, Get Back, recorded on location (and in the Apple basement), had fragmented the Beatles, and Martin and Emerick were tired of hearing undue personal criticism, and the band's own squabbles. Both agreed to return, if the Beatles promised to return to form. The Beatles first thought of calling their last work together Everest, after a brand of cigarettes; in the end they went with Abbey Road.
