Description
The Beatles’ final album, Abbey Road, was released in September 1969. It’s one of the band’s most well-known albums and has been covered by many artists all over the world. The album is also being rereleased for its 45th anniversary in September 2019 on vinyl and CD, as well as digitally on Apple Music, Spotify, and other streaming services. The original recording sessions produced eleven songs plus nine covers that were eventually edited into a single LP album.
The Beatles’ last album, Abbey Road, was recorded in the summer of 1969 at EMI Studios in London. After finishing their final album, Let It Be, which was scheduled to be released early in the year, The Beatles decided to take a break after spending almost a year in the studio. McCartney approached George Martin and asked if he would let him record an album of single sides that he had written or co-written with Lennon–McCartney since they had stopped touring at the end of 1966. Martin responded with “What do you have so far?”
McCartney played Martin six songs that he had written or co-written for the album, including “Come Together”, “Here Comes the Sun”, and “Something”. Martin asked McCartney to deliver two songs on a reel-to-reel tape recorder, because that was all he had in his studio.

I have purchased so many copies of this album. I buy it for all my nieces and nephews and children who don’t know who the Beatles are. Nothing more to say!

New disc to replace my worn out original for a good price. If you have never heard this music on a quality stereo turntable system with 15″ or bigger woofers, then you really haven’t heard the sonic beauty of these songs. PS: Paul’s not dead (yet). RIP John and George. Too bad Amazon does not sell all of the Beatles records at this price.

Sometimes you feel like a criminal because you make off with a deal that seems as if you’re the one making a steal. This vinyl version of The Beatles’ Abbey Road is just breathtaking in its mix, soundstage and instrument septa ion, with silky eq’d highs, solid mids, and sole levitating bass. I believe I only paid $17.99 for this one, and man, that is a deal!

I hate that I never get tired of the Beatles.

Very simply put I don’t really understand what people are talking about in reviews about surface noise and pops. I just finished the whole record and didn’t pick up any of that. I don’t own a lot of records but I have older and newer but I know when I hear something off. I will say I wiped down the record with a record cloth and cleaned the needle before playing. Maybe that helped ?
