Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential recording:
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

- Long And Winding Road
Abbey Road by The Beatles,1969,almost the end of the road for the group,This is the Beatles final album,leaving behind a legacy mechanically unmatched,surpassing the word classic which is an understatement,Frank Sinatra once said,Something,was the best song of the decade,nobody was inclined to give ol' blue eyes an argument,if anybody knew about songs it would be Sinatra,speaking of songs on Abbey Road,there's too many to talk about,but a good example of the classical touch,The Beatles showed the world,the timeless,Sun King,revealing the harmonies,that was always self evident in the early days,and probably the main ingredient for their success,along with the brilliant songwriting. Another notable song to mention,the McCartney ballad,Oh Darling!,McCartney showcasing his full potential as an ... Read More

- On a different level...
Every year a bunch of friends and I used to rent a house out for the summer down the Jersey shore. Approximately 8 or 9 of us would check out the myriad house parties in Belmar, then spend the evening hitting all the clubs including Bar A, DJ's, The Parker House etc.

One memory that sticks out in my mind is of a concert at the Garden State Arts Center featuring The Black Crowes with special guest Jimmy Page of the classic rock band Led Zeppelin. Being that the venue is close to the shore, and Page is possibly the greatest guitarist of all time, a friend and I decided to check the show out.

The Black Crowes had always been a quality band with popular hits recognizable to most fans of the genre. But the thing that struck me most about that night was the difference in ... Read More

- Its the Beatles what else do I have to say?
Eevn though I am a die hard Thrash/Death Metal fan I have am a huge fan of Classic Rock. The Beatles are my favorite band of all time, and this album shows why. Flawless writing and playing. If you do not own this album you need help.

- Swan song
Following the relative failure of the "Let It Be" project, John, Paul, George, and Ringo were able to get back together to make music one last time, and named their final LP, released in the fall of 1969, for the studios in which they had done all their recording--somehow, an appropriate gesture. The late George Harrison's songwriting was peaking just as the Fab Four were disintegrating as a group--he contributed the album's two best songs, and, with "Something," finally got the A-side of a single. The second side's medley is a masterful interweaving of varied song fragments, none really strong enough to stand on its own, into a rich musical tapestry--like master chefs creating a gourmet meal out of leftovers in the refrigerator. "Her Majesty" is a brief anticlimax; the group, knowing it ... Read More

- Can't Look Away...
So I was just idly surfing Amazon, reading reviews and whatnot when I decided to search the Beatles' catalogue. Abbey Road is the first you get when you punch the group's name in. The reviews, naturally this being the most popular band ever, were mostly positive. Positive reviews tend to bore me, so I decided to look at the negative (1 star) reviews instead, just for a laugh. But the thing is I've always been a bit insecure about my love of the Beatles. There is always a voice in me questioning "what if it is all hype? What if there's really nothing spectacular about them and you're just following along with the rock critics and fans?". Some of the 1 star reviews brought these feelings back as I tried to recollect what this album sounded like. It really didn't seem spectacular at all. The songwriting ... Read More
