Abbey Road is the name of a album of the Beatles left the September 26th 1969 in England and on October 1st the same year to the the United States. It bears the street name where the studio is located where this disc was recorded. The plate of this street besides is regularly unbolted by fans, still today.

Genesis

July 1st, 1969, Beatles return in the studios of Abbey Road, seven years after having taken their first steps there. They remain on the failure of the project Get Back in January of the same year, and decided with their producer George Martin to remake a disc as before . If environment is at the very least heavy, the album will not be less one their best, if not the best of the group, because all are decided to draw in the same direction, having a presentiment of which it will be their last common work.

The relations between Paul and John do not have great any more a deal to see with those of seven years ago, George is more and more badly satisfied to be relegated to the second plan (it could not place Not Guilty in album whereas even the Revolution 9 of John had found - in spite of the reserves of George Martin - a place), and Ringo observes all these tensions with sadness. He dreams of an underwater garden where there is nobody to say to us what we must do in his song Octopus' S Garden , the second title credited Ringo Starr after Don' T Pass Me By . The texts of the album are filled besides with tensions accumulated since the sessions of the White Album in 1968, as well as frustrations of the ones and others. George Harrison however signs there two of her more beautiful compositions with Something - that Frank Sinatra very often began again, while affirming that it was signed Lennon/McCartney… It is the first composition of Harrison to being published opposite has of a 45 turns, on October 31st, 1969 - and Here Comes the Sun .

The face B of the disc is for a great share made up of a medley of unfinished songs, assembled by Paul and George Martin with the active collaboration of the other members of the group. The majority of them, as well as the other titles present on this disc, had been composed and/or recorded separately in 1968 at the time of the white album in form Démo and at the sessions of the project Get Back in January 1969. All will be retravailléés, or in the case of the medley, assembled (and played) the ones behind the others, at the time of the two summer months 1969 devoted to the realization of this album.

The photograph of the small pocket was taken by Ian McMillan on August 8th, 1969, opposite the studios.

If the album left before Let It Be (left on May 8th, 1970), Abbey Road is well the last album recorded by Fab Four. Besides August 20th, 1969, they find for the very last time all the four whole in the studios of Abbey Road to supplement the song I Want You (She' S So Heavy) of John Lennon. Which decides to leave definitively the group once this completed album. An effective separation which will be officialized only in April 1970. Abbey Road leaves on September 26th, 1969 to the the United Kingdom (in October with the the United States) and will remain eighteen weeks in the charts (eleven weeks in the USA).

“ Paul is dead ”

Paul McCartney is the object of incredible a rumor applicant which it committed suicide in an car accident in November 1966, and which it was replaced by a Sosie. For the partisans of this thesis, all is good to accredit it in 1969.

  • the small pocket of Abbey Road would swarm with indices for the initiates: Paul crosses passage pedestrian barefeet (like deaths that one buries in India), the white Volkswagen that one sees is registered “ LMW 28 IF ” is “ Living room-McCartney-Would Be 28 IF ” (“alive McCartney would have been 28 years old IF…”, which cannot really agree because McCartney was 27 years old when Abbey Road left), one can also note that he is the only member of the group to have ahead the right leg (others advancing the left). One can conclude from it that it rolled of the right-sided of the road when it its claimed accident. If not it holds its cigarette of the right hand whereas it is left-handed, etc
