Sep 2009

First issued on 26th September, 1969 Abbey Road was the final Beatles album to be recorded but not their last to be released. Let It Be, though mainly recorded in January, 1969 was finally released in May, 1970 alongside the film of the same name.

Following the 'live' nature of the 'Let It Be' recordings, Abbey Road, The Beatles returned to the North London studios to create carefully crafted recordings with ambitious musical arrangements. Interestingly 12 of the songs that appeared on the finished album were played during the filmed rehearsals and sessions for 'Let It Be' back in January.

For the first time on a Beatles album, the front cover contained neither the group's name nor the album title just that iconic photograph taken on the zebra crossing near the entrance to the studios in London NW8 in August 1969. Abbey Road entered the British album chart at no. 1 in October and stayed there for a total of seventeen of its 81 weeks in the chart. In the US, it spent eleven weeks at # 1 during its initial chart stay of 83 weeks.

Simply Brilliant

It's understandable why Abbey Road is a favourite for so many. There isn't really a bad song on the record, though Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Sun King and Because are songs I prefer to skip. The rest however are a perfect example of the genius at hand. Seeing as this was the last album they recorded, to end it with the continuous carry on of Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight and The End has to be the best way a band has gone out. Add to that to the brilliance of Come Together, I Want You, Something, Here Comes The Sun, You Never Give Me Your Money and even the cheese of Octopus' Garden, you simply cannot argue with those who say that this is one of the great albums. Oh, and the sleeve's pretty cool too.
