Binding: LP RecordEAN: 0077774644617 Label: Capitol Manufacturer: Capitol Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Capitol Release Date: December 05, 1995 Studio: Capitol 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - You Really Had To Be ThereA thousand reviews? I only can echo the majority. This is simply another masterpiece from the greatest band that ever cut a record. These four were in a class by themselves. The Beatles and then there were all the others. Abbey Road blew everyone away when it came out and still is an experience and not just a set of songs put together for listening to while you run the vacumn cleaner. I always think of some of the assertions that have been made about Shakespeare when I take in the entire catlog of ...

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 ...

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. Rating: - Swan songFollowing 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 ... Read More |
