God save The Beatles.
It's exciting to hear the songs that aren't part of the greatest hits compilations because they're not commonly played. The music has been around for well over 50 years but hearing it for the first time is like finding something new. The Beatles were revolutionary musicians and it's fun to experience music from a simpler time. God save The Beatles.

A Grand Finale..................
"Abbey Road offers something for everybody, a 90 year old senior citizen could enjoy this album just as easy as a five year old girl or boy. The sounds and tastes of this record are all over the map. For instance, whereas "Come Together" is a serious rock anthem with a heavy message, songs like "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" (Lennon-McCartney) and "Octopus's Garden" (Ringo Starr) are pure silly pop. The Beatles also tend to get very romantically inclined on "Abbey Road," as on the excellent "Something" (check out the wonderful string section), and on "Oh! Darling," where Paul McCartney belts out the lyrics in his most heartfelt tone. Overall, there's a boyish, innocent quality to these songs, especially lyrically, yet a sophistication in the sound and musical development. In short, The Beatles and their producer, George Martin, had the resources and talent to shine years ahead of their time. Though The Beatles were on their way out with "Abbey Road," the 7 minute plus song "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" is reminiscent of another British band on their way IN in 1969, none other than Led Zeppelin. The song features severely wanting lyrics and an ingraining guitar riff that stays in your head light years after you hear it, definitely Jimmy Page style, before Page became a household name. On the flip side, songs like "Because" and "Sun King" are positively airy and lightweight, yet no less spectacular. The Beatles thrived on hazy and dreamy songs that featured their sky-high choruses and melting melodies. Mere mortals simply can't write music like this, yet The Beatles made it seem as easy as playing hop-scotch on a bright sunny day. Starting at "You Never Give Me Your Money," the album transforms into a hot-potato medley of one inherently melodic song after another, as if the guys went composition-crazy and miraculously melded some of their best songs into one boiling pot and spewed everything out in one shockingly creative assembly line of tracks that just blend together magically. It's like a movie score with words or a spur-of-the moment "best of" mixture. Undoubtedly, Paul McCartney and John Lennon deserve the lion's share of credit for creating some of the best songs in the history of rock and roll in a span of twenty minutes on the second side of one album. The guys sound excited, joyful, happy to be alive, inspiring, crazy, and willing to experiment. As the music on "Abbey Road" mutates from one moment to the next, sometimes in the space of just one song, the lustrous sounds and sky-high choruses mix perfectly with the weightless lyrics, which sometimes refer to strange events or people, or just as easily, sound hazy and dreamy, in their own spacey world. Nonetheless, it's worth mentioning The Beatles blatant attempt at spreading their famous "love is all you need" message throughout the album, especially the back-half of the album. As the album winds down, and we here such greats as "Mr. Mustard" and the punkish "Polythene Pam" (both ahead of their time), it's the understatement of the century to say that it ends dramatically. The Beatles go out with a positive and touching message on one of the last lines of the record, and it's not a reach to say that this is one of the most well thought out albums ever made, a concept album with no real concept. I'm now beginning to understand why many have said over the years it is The Beatles and then everyone else.........Read full review

The evolution of music....ABBEY ROAD...BEATLES CD 1987
I have always been a fan of The Beatles. After-all, where would rock n' roll be without this group? I guess we owe a lot to The Beatles, Elvis and all the early musicians who helped bring great music into our lives. It even goes back to the classics such as Chopin, Beethovan, etc. You know, all those are on CDs now too! Look at all that has aspired because of music. There was the old victrola with the big old 78 records, the newer small record players that would play 78s, 45s and 33 albums. Look at how much space it use to take to house the 45 & album collections we use to have! Then, came along the hi-fi system that made music sound even better! Outside speakers were the best! For our personal pleasure, there were the transister radios. Modern technology then brought us the stereo system, followed by taped versions (cassettes) of our favorite music, which sure made take-along music much simpler. Then, we evolved into the CDs. Now, there are stereo systems with surround sound, and even newer: MP3 players, so that we can program our music the way we like it. The list goes on and on...and today we have the greatest music available since the day it all started. Modern technology would not have been worth anything without the musicial talents that brought us tunes to dance, relax, clean house, work on cars, or cruise to. And, none of these inventions would have been worth anything, had it not been for the great musical artists who helped bring us into the era of modern music. Thanks to The Beatles, Elvis, The Rolling Stones, Mamas & Papas, Eagles, Janis Joplin, The Who, ELO, etc...the list is endless. Guess the list depends on your preference...but whatever you like, it all dates back to those who went to work to create the sounds.Read full review

Beatles Mania
Enjoyable piece of the mop-tops' music history. You can appreciate the ground breaking sound the Beatles developed at this point in the 1960s. If you added this music album with their Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, you manage to get most of the songs the Bee-Gees used in their movie tribute to the Beatles with their Sgt. Pepper's late 70's motion picture. This album, Abbey Road, was also in the midst of the "Paul is Dead" rumors the Beatles created for those folk who always tried to find hidden messages in the music soundtracks. Even the cover photo of Abbey Road holds a visual clue -- with Paul barefoot on the street crossing.

The Beatles' 1969 Classic Album on CD
I had the 1969 LP of this Beatles 1987 CD and just had to have it again. I first thought I was going into a mid-life crisis and teenage regression by buying it! But, as soon as I put this CD into the Kenwood car stereo and played it through Blau Punkt speakers, I realized I'd never really "heard" the truest & clearest sound of the musical talent of the Beatles before that day in 2006. I thought to myself, my gawd they were that good back when? All but for recording technology evolving, the musical quality was lost on an LP & even the cassette. The tracks are all classic and many of them were paid tribute to by the Bee Gees (and even Steve Martin!) in the movie "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." Track listing 1. Come Together 2. Something 3. Maxwell's Silver Hammer 4. Oh! Darling 5. Octopus' Garden 6. I Want You (She's So Heavy) 7. Here Comes the Sun 8. Because 9. You Never Give Me Your Money 10. Sun King 11. Mean Mr. Mustard 12. Polythene Pam 13. She Came in Through the Bathroom Window 14. Golden Slumbers 15. Carry That Weight 16. The End 17. Her Majesty The lesson for me is that this 47 minute CD is (not) new music from 1969-70. And it was by the original Beatles: Paul McCartney 64 now, 27 then! 16yo when some of these songs were composed (vocals, guitar, keyboards, bass--and he's still singing and playing these songs in concerts today--without the rest of the band); John Lennon (murdered in NYC) (vocals, guitar, keyboards); George Harrison (deceased of natural causes) (vocals, guitar, synthesizer); Ringo Starr (alive and kicking, but not with Paul McCartney or in Beatles' style (vocals, drums, percussion). Sir McCartney is the only one of the four who still carries on the Beatles' traditional music that this CD represents. Even though John Lennon became such a high profile martyred Beatle, Paul McCartney inspired the songs for the 1969-70 Abbey Road. George Harrison had his first hit single "Something." John Lennon created the more spacey heavy metal ones, "Come Together" and "I Want You."Ringo Starr made a favorite hit with children in his "Octopus' Garden." McCartney can carry the group's sound without the rest of the original band. This leads me to believe he was the heart of the group. I always presumed that Lennon, who was so radical and out in the media front, carried the sound of the Beatles. I hadn't realized it then like I do now, that this CD has a little something in it for everyone. You've never heard the classic Abbey Road until you've heard the CD!Read full review

Producer: George Martin Distributor: EMI Music Distribution Recording type: Studio Recording mode: Stereo SPAR Code: AAD Album notes ABBEY ROAD, recorded in the summer of 1969, was the last album recorded by the Beatles (LET IT BE was released in 1970, but recorded in early '69). The Beatles: Paul McCartney (vocals, guitar, keyboards, bass); John Lennon (vocals, guitar, keyboards); George Harrison (vocals, guitar, synthesizer); Ringo Starr (vocals, drums, percussion). After the laborious disorganization and infighting that characterized early 1969's LET IT BE sessions (as famously captured on film), the fractious four were willing to let George Martin take the reins and to work with him as a cohesive unit for the much more succinct production of their (and the decade's) swan song, ABBEY ROAD. The superb performances make the album an artistic high point for all members of the group. Paul McCartney inspired the suite of songs that begins with "You Never Give Me Your Money." Often thought of as two long medleys, the songs that fill most of the second half of ABBEY ROAD segue seamlessly into one another, but are programmed as separate CD tracks. George Harrison had his first A-side on a Beatles' single ("Something"); John Lennon contributed a pair of heavy rockers ("Come Together" and "I Want You"); and Ringo Starr's "Octopus's Garden" was a favorite with children.Read full review

THE END OF THE ROAD
As the year 1969 drew to a close it marked end of the decade of the 1960's. A musical trend such as the world had never seen also closed shop! The Beatles whose musical influence set the trend for future generations to come made the last studio album of an incredible 8 year career. Abbey Road when released in October 1969, reigned at the top of the Billboard Hot 200 albums for 12 weeks. And what was called back then a two sided hit single with tracks COME TOGETHER and SOMETHING that were popular radio request songs: were also for the black vinal 45 singles that topped the Bill Board TOP 40 as a two sided hit, on the charts for 3 weeks at No. 1 in late 1969. This album considered the very finest by the Beatles influenced such artist as the Eagles, REO Speedwagon, Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Bee Gees, set a standard that will never or most likely be matched by any other musical band such as the Beatles were. ABBEY ROAD, recorded in the summer of 1969, was the last album recorded by the Beatles (LET IT BE was released in 1970, but recorded in early '69). The Beatles: Paul McCartney (vocals, guitar, keyboards, bass); John Lennon (vocals, guitar, keyboards); George Harrison (vocals, guitar, synthesizer); Ringo Starr (vocals, drums, percussion). This reissue of ABBEY ROAD has been digitally re-mastered. It comes packaged with replicated original U.K. album art, an expanded booklet containing original and newly written liner notes, and rare photos. Limited quantities of the CD are embedded with a brief documentary film about the album. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Audio Remastered: Sam Okell; Sean Magee; Steve Rooke; Guy Massey; Paul Hicks. Liner Note Authors: Mike Heatley; Kevin Howlett. Photographer: Iain Macmillan. After the laborious disorganization and infighting that characterized early 1969's LET IT BE sessions (as famously captured on film), the fractious four were willing to let George Martin take the reins and to work with him as a cohesive unit for the much more succinct production of their (and the decade's) swan song, ABBEY ROAD. The superb performances make the album an artistic high point for all members of the group. Paul McCartney inspired the suite of songs that begins with "You Never Give Me Your Money."

George Harrison had his first A-side on a Beatles' single ("Something"); John Lennon contributed a pair of heavy rockers ("Come Together" and "I Want You"); and Ringo Starr's "Octopus's Garden" was a favorite with children. The last Beatles album to be recorded (although Let It Be was the last to be released), Abbey Road was a fitting swan song for the group, echoing some of the faux-conceptual forms of Sgt. Pepper's, but featuring stronger compositions and more rock-oriented ensemble work. The group was still pushing forward in all facets of its art, whether devising some of the greatest harmonies to be heard on any rock record (especially on "Because"), constructing a medley of songs/vignettes that covered much of side two, adding subtle touches of Moog synthesizer, or crafting furious guitar-heavy rock ("The End," "I Want You (She's so Heavy)," "Come Together"). George Harrison also blossomed into a major songwriter, contributing the buoyant "Here Comes the Sun"!Read full review

Great CD at a great price
I was really impressed with the condition of this CD considering the price that I paid for it.It appeared to be pretty scuffed up,but I was glad that it played fine on my stereo.The retail price is pretty high on this CD and I didn't feel like getting ripped off so that's why I bought it used.I'm sure that everyone reading this review is already familiar with this album,but if not,here's my review-This technically was the last Beatles album.It was released in 1969 and even though Let It Be came out afterwards that album consisted of recordings that were made mostly prior to the recording of Abbey Road and that were "cleaned up" by Phil Spector.If you're unfamiliar with The Beatles' music(and there are some people who are,including my 30-year-old female manager)this might be a good place to start.The group really did end their career nicely with this one and,technically,the last words on the album were "the love you take is equal to the love you make" even though the initially uncredited "Her Majesty" by Paul McCartney comes shortly afterward.I'll never forget telling my manager that I was going to see Paul McCartney and she asked me who that was.Turns out that she never even heard of John Lennon either.Most people that I tell this story to are really surprised.Oh well.She's a country music nut so I guess that partially explains it.Abbey Road may not necessarily be the album to introduce her to The Beatles.I've owned this album in three formats-first,on vinyl(where you can clearly see the "Paul is Dead" clues;more on that,later),secondly,on cassette(with the running order of the album's tracks changed)and,lastly,on CD(it's really nice to hear this album all the way through without having to flip it over to the other side,although some vinyl junkies have their favorite sides of albums).Okay,beginning with the cover of the album-there was a mystery going around at the time,perpetrated by radio stations,that Paul McCartney was dead and that he was replaced in The Beatles by a double.This,of course,proved to be untrue,but starting with this album,people began to see clues regarding this mystery and found other clues on some of The Beatles' preceding albums going back to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.The clues on the Abbey Road album for those of you that don't know are as follows:A Volkswagen "Beetle"(get it?)parked on the left side of the road sports a license plate that reads "28 IF" which,supposedly,would have been Paul's age if he had lived(Paul McCartney was born in 1942 and this album was released in 1969 so he actually was 27 at the time).The Beatles themselves are all dressed,supposedly,in ceremonial garb.George Harrison,who is the most casually dressed,is supposed to be the grave digger.Both Ringo Starr and John Lennon were supposedly dressed as pallbearers and Paul himself is dressed for burial.He is barefoot, which is a custom in some religions to bury the dead without shoes.He is also walking out of step with the others and carrying a cigarette in his right hand(Paul is left-handed).All of these clues and others on preceding albums led people to believe that Paul McCartney had been replaced by an impostor.Like my father said many years ago,it was probably just a ploy to sell albums.The Beatles needn't have worried about inserting superficial clues on their album covers to make them sell.The music itself was what made these albums so great and timeless.Read full review

One of the Best Beatles album
In my opinion, the best produced Beatles album, and one of my favourite overall. There's the rock 'n roll side (A-side) and the musical side (B side). B Side has songs that are somewhat 'linked' together so they sound seamless when one track goes on to the next, which is something pretty new during those days. Recommended tracks include Something, Come Together, The End, You never give me your money and Golden Slumbers (my personal favourite). Something is probably George's most popular tune, Come Together is John's more popular track in this album, The End has George John and Paul playing solos together (which had never happened before in previous beatles songs) and You Never Give me your money is paul's best track in this album. And not to forget, the classic album cover makes this album a 5/5.Read full review

Abbey Road....Beatles
I have always LOVED the Beatles. I had been talking to a friend that I met on Ebay several years ago, and she and her husband had been on vacation at Mrytle Beach SC, and they toured some other places, but they had been to ABBEY ROAD, and she sent me pictures of them actually crossing ABBEY ROAD. They even were swinging their arms just like the Beatles did when they crossed it!! It was awesome. But as soon as I finished talking to her, I got on EBAY, and bought the CD for an excellent price too!!! I play it in my car, and my 14 yr old son even loves the music of the Beatles!!!! That is my story, and I'm sticking to it!!!!!! Martha Carrico Owensboro, KY
