Limited 180gm, audiophile vinyl LP pressing of this album from the Fab Four comes housed in replicated artwork. "Abbey Road" was the final album recorded by The Beatles. Although it wasn't the last album they released, this 1969 classic is a gem of a way to go out on top. With superior songwriting and some of their best production work, it delivers hits ranging from "Come Together" to "Here Comes the Sun". Plus it has great novelty numbers full of whimsy in the form of "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" and "Octopus's Garden". Other songs such as "Carry that Weight" and "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window" would take on a life of their own. This vinyl pressing contains the 2009 digital remaster of the album, making it sound more vibrant and electrifying than ever before. The last Beatles album to be recorded (although Let It Be was the last to be released), Abbey Road was a fitting swan song for the group, echoing some of the faux-conceptual forms of Sgt. Pepper, but featuring stronger compositions and more rock-oriented ensemble work. The group was still pushing forward in all facets of its art, whether devising some of the greatest harmonies to be heard on any rock record (especially on "Because"), constructing a medley of songs/vignettes that covered much of side two, adding subtle touches of Moog synthesizer, or crafting furious guitar-heavy rock ("The End," "I Want You (She's So Heavy)," "Come Together"). George Harrison also blossomed into a major songwriter, contributing the buoyant "Here Comes the Sun" and the supremely melodic ballad "Something," the latter of which became the first Harrison-penned Beatles hit. Whether Abbey Road is the Beatles' best work is debatable, but it's certainly the most immaculately produced (with the possible exception of Sgt. Pepper) and most tightly constructed. [Abbey Road was reissued and remastered on 180-gram vinyl in 2012.] ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi
