Music : Abbey Roadby: The Beatles
Disc 1:
Editorial Review: 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 Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Here's validation of the Beatles' status.The Beatles. A band that are so familiar to everyone in the western world that it's easily possible to live 25-30 years without hearing one of their albums from start to finish. You just hear it everywhere.

Rating: - AND IN THE END ........The Beatles final album (last to be recorded) is a mixed bag. At one end of the spectrum there are Harrison's two landmark songs - 'Something' & 'Here Comes The Sun' then there is Lennon's frankly baffling 'I Want You Shes's So Heavy' and McCartneys trite 'Maxwells Silver Hammer'. This is the sound of a band falling apart. Of course, this being the Beatles, there are also moments of pure brilliance - 'Come Together' is John's last great Fabs song and his band mates, especially Paul, help ...

DEJARON LO MEJOR PARA EL FINAL; considerado el mas increible album despues de PEPPER y REVOLVER, este disco tiene los brillantes rocks COME TOGETHER, ... Read More Rating: - AddictiveI tell you what. This was the best way for the Beatles to end the show. Every song makes you want to listen to the whole disc again. A great triumph. Beatles Rule!
