Customer Rating: Summary: Poor quality vinyl - great album Comment: For one of the best albums the Beatles made, the vinyl was below quality of an original vinyl album. I would have preferred a better quality product and would have been happy to pay more for it. Customer Rating: Summary: Abbey Road Comment: For me, Abbey Road is the Beatles' masterpiece. The Beatles were the Beatles because, while they embraced rock, they also transcended it...attaining a kind of lyrical quality that few, if any, from the Rock era achieved...and Abbey Road is the ultimate manisfestation of that. In a sense it is a bitter-sweet experience for me to listen to it: sweet because it is so impressive; bitter because it signifies what they could achieve...yet this was their last album before they split. Ah! the what-could-have-beens.... Customer Rating: Summary: Abbey Road Comment: Really good album. recommended as part of beatle album collection. songs maxwell silver hammer and i want you (she's so heavy) are especially good Customer Rating: Summary: A Must Own Comment: If you don't like this, then you most likely have not heard it. So what are you waiting for - buy this today! Customer Rating: Summary: Classic Beatles Comment: What's to say? This is one of several of The Beatles' best albums from the prime of their career. It was produced after their "Top-40" years when they were dedicated to creativity.
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
