Lenny's description:

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

This album is simply the best album ever made by the best rock band of all time. A glorious sunset.

- Sound Quality Rating Only
The music is wonderful BUT the sound quality is crap - it is thin and harsh. I have other CDs recorded in analog and remastered to CD that are vastly superior to this. I do not have the original record so I cannot guess as to whether the original recording was this bad. This was a great disappointment to me - I was so looking forward to hearing these songs in sonic splendour.

- The Best of The Beatles
Amongst 13 of Beatles' output, I considered 'Abbey Road' (1969) as the best album they had made. I knew this album since my early childhood my dad had bought the cassette of it. It contained best effort of the Fab-Four's musicality and artistry, especially George Harrison's 'Something'. This is the main reason why I bought this album. This music of this album are were very advanced to its released date, and its influence is still remaining until now to the world's pop and rock music. So be it, this recording is very highly recommended to be purchased. Thanks also to amazon.com for quickly shipment to Indonesia.
