My review of Abbey Road - by The Beatles
INTRODUCTION
This is the final Album made by the Beatles (though Let It Be, recorded before Abbey Road was released after it).
FEATURES, INFO, PROS & CONS
Named after the legendary recording studio; Abbey Road - the Beatles album, marked for many the high point in their career, and is arguably the finest music album, ever, by anyone!!

Containing a magical wealth of ideas - it's also possible to feel the band splitting into their separate favourite genres, ready for their soon to start solo careers.

Lennon's offerings a very raw and rock n roll based, tinged with his usual depth of vision; Carry This Weight, Polythene Pam (allegedly about a Liverpool prostitute), and the stunning Because (inspired when John began playing the chords of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata backwards).

Paul and his wonderful, whimsical tales are very much in evidence too; Maxwell's Silver Hammer (a happy go lucky tale about an imaginary serial killer!), plus digs at the bands management with 'You Never Give Me Your Money' (supposedly a side swipe at the trouble Paul was having at the time getting paid his money from the band).

George is at the top of his song writing powers here, with the unbelievably good; Here Comes The Sun and Something (John said George's tracks were his favourite on the album).

Ringo does some excellent drumming too (much joked about for his playing -this album is was perhaps Ringo's deliberate attempt to show his musical credibility while giving an erm...two fingered salute to his critics -lol!!). The End -especially showcases Ringo's drumming skills.

Here's the track list;
1. Come Together
2. Something
3. Maxwell's Silver Hammer
4. Oh Darling
5. Octopus's Garden
6. I Want You (She's So Heavy)
7. Here Comes The Sun
8. Because
9. You Never Give Me Your Money
10. Sun King
11. Mean Mr Mustard
12. Polythene Pam
13. She Came In Through The Bathroom Window
14. Golden Slumbers
15. Carry That Weight
16. End, The
17. Her Majesty

CONLUSION (IN MY OPINION)
This is a must have album - make no mistake, generations of musicians, producers and song writers did and still do come back to this album as the holy grail of how to 'do' pop music. It spawned a million copies but no equals.

You'll probably never hear a better album.
Hope you found my review of some help, and good luck with your bargain hunting!!

Best wishes,
Brett
