ABBEY ROAD 50TH OUT NOW!!!!
Did you know Paul does not own a copy?
No, I don’t believe that. In an interview just recently,when Linda’s Polaroids came out, he said that the family played Beatles and Wings albums.

Because they're Ringo fans. GET IT?????!!!!!

Simply amazing. The original lp sounds sensational, and the outtakes/bonus songs are sensational. My favorites as of today are "The Ballad of John and Yoko" (just John and Paul), "Come And Get It" (how the band did not put this song on an album is a total mystery), and the extraordinary "The Long One" (basically a run through of the Abbey Road medley.)

Hey, Bruce Spizer was there! (the white bearded guy from New Orleans) He wrote the books about Sgt. Pepper, The White Album and Abbey Road that I and my friend Jennifer are quoted in!

I have only listened to CD 2 (Sessions) but LOVED it! All the banter going on is priceless!

That is so cool!
Am listening to CD 3 Sessions right now. John: “I’m losing my cool right now.” (more like your voice, John!)

Help me!! I can't stop listening to the 2CD Abbey Road. All four chaps sound remarkable. I'm even starting to dig Octopus's Garden!! After listening to the rough takes, I'm convinced you could hear the future of the lads; I hear RAM, All Things Must Pass, Imagine, and RINGO. The Beatles were ready to conquer the 1970's; they just did it separately.

While I don't necessarily disagree, Abbey Road and the songs on it were clearly meant to be Beatles songs....by each member. John wanted a beautiful three-part harmony with "Because." He would never again write or record that kind of gorgeous song. He knew it was only for the Beatles. George's "Something" was clearly meant as a Beatles song as well. They wanted to go our strong, not save songs for solo careers. While they may not have admitted it at the tme...even to themselves...., I think they all knew this album would be their last as a group. The cover has them walking away from Abbey Road studio in a bit of foreshadowing..... I love that on "The End," all four took a solo part. Ringo on his drum s, then Paul, George and John each taking solo parts on the dueling guitars. Magnificant. They went out on top!!!

The “walking away from Abbey Road studio” was just a fluke - it just so happened that clearly the best photo of them was walking in that direction!
I agree, though, they definitely went out on top!

Yeah, I guess it was a fluke, but plays out in the scenario of the grand finale.

Who could have imagined that simply deciding to cross the street while being photographed doing so would become so HUGE. That street can never change.
