A piece of music history is up for sale. The console that The Beatles used to record their last album, "Abbey Road," will be available for sale at the end of this month. Dave Harries, who participated in several recording sessions with the legendary band, said this particular recording console is unique because it sounds so good that it holds up against any modern console. The "Abbey Road" recording console goes on sale on October 29th. Its price has yet to be announced.

A former Beatle is working on a country album. It's Ringo Starr, which should not be a surprise since, back in 1965, he was featured on the flipside of "Yesterday" with a Buck Owens hit. Ringo is now teaming up with producer T Bone Burnett on an eleven-track country album. It's called 'Look Up,' and and the first song, "Time on My Hands," is out now. The full album drops January 10th.

Take me out to the ballgame, if you're independently wealthy. Tickets to the first Los Angeles Dodgers-New York Yankees World Series in more than four decades won't be cheap. Ticket website SeatGeek says the cheapest ticket for Friday's Game 1 at Dodger Stadium will set you back at least 12-hundred dollars. And don't expect prices to be any cheaper for Saturday's Game 2. The series shifts to New York for Game 3 on Monday and tickets - if you can get them - will cost you even more.
