Amalia At Abbey Road : The Complete Sessions (1952)

"The name of London’s Abbey Road Studios is now closely associated with pop and rock, and fundamentally to The Beatles, who from 1962 to 1970 taped most of their singles and albums there. However, many other important artists have recorded at the studios since their inception in 1931. In 1952, ten years before The Beatles began recording there, the great Portuguese fado singer Amália Rodrigues had cut several sessions at Abbey Road, which were originally issued on 78rpm discs, and are presented in their entireties on this CD."
