    Marvellous. Wonderful. Beautiful. Historical.

    Wow. Any music lover will get goosebumps hearing these classic songs being recorded at Abbey Road. What a joy to see and hear these old legendary recordings!

    The Abbey Road studio was originally just a huge mansion, redesigned in the thirties into an ernomous recording studio, which saw the likes of The Beatles, The Stones, The Who, Pink Floyd record monumental albums (Dark Side of the Moon). Later on film music (Star Wars) was being recorded there as well, with one room creating a wall of sound, which can be best heard in the song "Goldfinger" by Shirley Bassey. Powerful stuff!

    Paul McCarthy gets special attention in this documentary, and that's totally fair, since most folks got to know Abbey Road because of the Beatles and especially through their last record called Abbey Road, with the famous zebra crossing picture. Lots of funny interview clips and insights how certain legendary Beatles songs were born.

    Highly recommended watch AND listen for any music fan of the sixties and seventies!

    Amazing

    This is a great piece of history, and it is amazing to see all of the great performers that recorded here. From EMI records to the new name Abbey Road. These walls witnessed the beginning of the Beatles, from when their first meeting /audition with George Martin, to their unforgettable walk (now a landmark) and their album titled Abbey Road. I loved the interviews and memories of Paul McCartney, Elton John, Giles Martin, Pink Floyd, Liam Gallagher, etc. One thing I didnt know, was all the amazing George Lucas' movie scores that were recorded here.

    All and all, an amazing show, and i think the tittle is perfect if only "These walls could sing".

    Great job Mary!

    Extraordinary!

    If These Walls Could Sing was a fascinating documentary directed, interviewed, and narrated by Mary McCartney (Paul McCartney's daughter) in her directorial debut, i did already familiar with Mary McCartney's before (and so Stella and Heather McCartney) and like i mention it is a fascinating deeper look into the Abbey Road studios, the studios that giving birth to some of the greatest songs and albums out there, from The Beatles to Pink Floyd to Elton John to Oasis and so on, a very well documented film with great and interesting topics, also fills with great footage, and great editing, If These Walls Could Sing is a great presentation of an iconic studios with a great extraordinary story in it, i enjoy If These Walls Could Sing so much, it is entertaining and fascinating to watch, and i'm happy to watch it, thumbs way up!.

    Great Music

    Abbey Road is the music studio in London most famous for the Beatles final recorded album. Let it Be waas recorded earlier but released later.

    As someone old enough to remember the music of the 1960's, seeing the four Liverpool lads creating their unforgettable music made the documentary by Mary McCartney worth the watch. Her father Paul is the star but Roger Waters and others provide additional good material.

    Two of my favorite albums are Abbey Road by the Beatles and Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd and listening to Paul and Roger Waters recall their magical days at the studio made the film worthwhile for me.

    Unfortunately, one of the final segments includes Kanye West. Given recent events, Ye belongs on the cutting room floor.

    If These Walls Could Sing is a fine viewing for any music lover.

    Amazing, however, ........

    Just leave Liam Gallagher out of an intelligent documentary.

    He just adds irrelevant nonsense.

    The Gallagher brothers didn't feature much in the documentary but at least Noel brings a little detail to Oasis's time there.

    If you're an LG fan boy don't waste you're time. Please just watch him butcher all the classics over and over at every gig since lockdown.

    Great input from the rest of the cast who bring an interesting story to their time in AR.

    From Cliff to Celeste (whom, by the way is top of my next play list) this is a brilliant insight to the ups and downs of the best recoding studio in the World.
