A recording console used to produce Pink Floyd's iconic Dark Side of the Moon album has sold for a staggering £1,434,231.<br />
<br />
Between 1971 and 1983, the 1971 EMI TG12345 MK IV console was housed in Studio 2 at the famous Abbey Road studios.<br />
<br />
After a sterling 12 year run during which it was used by three of the Beatles, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, as well as Kate Bush and The Cure, the console was replaced by a more advanced model. <br />
<br />
Since then, it has belonged to a producer Mike Hedges, who worked at Abbey Road at the time.
