*”abbey road” is the 11th studio album by the english rock band “the beatles”, released on ’26 september 1969′ by “apple records”*
.
(the recording sessions for the album were the last in which all 4 beatles participated)
(although let it be was the final album that the beatles completed before the band’s dissolution in april 1970, most of the album had been recorded before the abbey road sessions began)
(a double A-side single from the album, “something”/ “come together”, released in october, topped the billboard chart in the US)
(“abbey road” is a rock album that incorporates genres such as blues, pop and progressive rock, and it makes prominent use of the moog synthesizer and the leslie speaker)
(“side two” contains a medley of song fragments edited together to form a single piece)
(the album was recorded amid a more collegial atmosphere than the get back / let it be sessions earlier in the year, but there were still frequent disagreements within the band, particularly over paul mccartney’s song “maxwell’s silver hammer”)
(john lennon had privately left the group by the time the album was released and mccartney publicly quit the following year)
(although abbey road was an immediate commercial success and reached #1 in the UK and US, it initially received mixed reviews, some critics describing its music as “inauthentic” and bemoaning the production’s ‘artificial’ effects)
(many critics now view the album as the Beatles’ best and rank it as one of the “greatest albums of all time”)
(in particular, george harrison’s contributions, “something” and “here comes the sun”, are considered to be among the best songs he wrote for the group)
(the album’s cover features the 4 band members walking across a ‘zebra crossing’ outside ‘abbey road studios’ and has become one of the ‘most famous’ + ‘imitated’ images in the history of recorded music)
.
(as of 2011, “abbey road” remains 1 of the beatles’ best-selling albums)
