The Beatles recorded "Abbey Road" in the spring and summer of 1969. It was eventually released in September 1969 in the UK and a week later in the US.
Abbey Road was special because of Side 2, or the medley.
How successful was Abbey Road? It included 2 of George Harrison's finest songs: "Something" and "Here comes the sun".
John Lennon had "Come together" and the very long "I want you she's so heavy" that goes on forever.
Ringo had "Octupus' garden", maybe his best composition.
And Paul had several lead vocals.
Rolling Stone magazine named it the 14th greatest album of all time.....which is probably right!
