Biography

"The story began in Harold Macmillan’s “never had it so good” ’50s Britain. It should be fiction: four teenagers with no more than eight O’Levels between them, running and biking and busing and busking all over Liverpool in search of new chords and old guitars and half-decent drum kit and any gig at all.

They were determined to amount to something – in George’s words “we just had this amazing inner… Read more in Amazon's The Beatles Store

Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The Beatles' last days as a band were as productive as any major pop phenomenon that was about to split. After recording the ragged-but-right Let It Be, the group held on for this ambitious effort, an album that was to become their best-selling. Though all four contribute to the first side's writing, John Lennon's hard-rocking, "Come Together" and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" make the strongest impression. A series of song fragments edited together in suite form dominates side two; its portentous, touching, official close ("Golden Slumbers" / "Carry That Weight" / "The End") is nicely undercut, in typical Beatles fashion, by Paul McCartney's cheeky "Her Majesty", which follows. --Rickey Wright

5.0 out of 5 stars "And in the end...", 16 Jun 2002
This review is from: Abbey Road (Audio CD)
There are a million words I could write to describe this classic album. However, to put it succinctly, this is my all-time favourite album. This is the work of a band who were breaking up for goodness sake and who knew this was to be the swansong of the greatest band ever..The medleys are the most awe inspiring and moving pieces committed to rock record. To say they had run out of ideas is absolutely absurd. True, there are a couple of lesser tracks in my opinion, but hey, we are talking The Beatles here - lesser tracks by The Beatles are the equivalent to the quality of material most contemporary bands make a living from nowadays. Abbey Road is easily up there with Revolver, but because this was the last thing they did, it will always have an edge over that 1966 classic. You Never Give Me Your Money is my most favourite song ever, but just look down the list ... Come Together, Something, Here Comes The Sun, Because, Golden Slumbers ... Abbey Road is a musical adventure and a testament to the greatest band in the history of rock music.

5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest fabs album, and therefore the best album ever, 15 Mar 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Abbey Road (Audio CD)
Abbey Road was the final album the fab four recorded, but by no means was their swansong a let down. The only bad thing towards the end of the 60s was the fact that Let It Be was released after Abbey Road. The album contains classic tracks such as Harrison's Something and Here Comes The Sun, Lennon's Come Together. However, one must look beyond these to fully appreciate the album. Starr's Octopus's Garden fails to be revolutionary, but Harrison's country-style guitarring turns it into a delightful piece to hear. The two medleys which end the album are near-perfection. Stand-out tracks include Golden Slumbers, McCartney's peaceful calming "lullaby" which leads nicely into Carry That Weight which then heads into the heavier The End, a piece which makes one reflect on the end of a beautiful band, the greatest ever and the end of an era.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless, 16 Sep 2003
By 
Mrs. G. Baker "geoffbaker62" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Abbey Road (Audio CD)
Abbey Road is and always will be my favourite Beatles album - It is and will always be my favourite album of all time as well. For those of you who are just getting to know Beatles music listen to this timeless classic and you'll realise that it will still sound fresh and strong in another 30 years time. You'll realise the immense debt that Popular music the world over owes to the Beatles.

Think of Golden Slumbers/Carry that Weight/The End and you know where the inspiration for classics like Bohemian Rhapsody came from. Think of George Harrison finally coming out of the shadow of John and Paul, with Something and Here Comes The Sun, think of the diversity of songs from Maxwells Silver Hammer to Shes So Heavy and Oh Darling and the pure wonder of the second half medley. They were ground breakers, standard bearers for everything that came after them couldn't have existed without the Beatles having shown the way.

For those of you who have forgotten what it is all about, put 45 minutes aside, sit down in a comfy chair, shut the world out and put on Abbey Road.....enjoy
