Special Features:

The classic albums of the Beatles have been digitally remastered for the first time. Engineers at Abbey Road Studios in London worked for four years to restore the full Beatles catalog to the highest fidelity since its original release on vinyl. These new Beatles reissues supersede the initial set of CD reissues from the 1980s. Each CD comes with the original UK album art and includes an expanded booklet with new liner notes and photos. For a limited period, each CD will also be embedded with a brief documentary film about the album.

About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

The last Beatles album to be recorded (although Let It Be was the last to be released), Abbey Road was a fitting swan song for the group, echoing some of the faux-conceptual forms of Sgt. Pepper, but featuring stronger compositions and more rock-oriented ensemble work. The group was still pushing forward in all facets of its art, whether devising some of the greatest harmonies to be heard on any rock record (especially on "Because"), constructing a medley of songs/vignettes that covered much of side two, adding subtle touches of Moog synthesizer, or crafting furious guitar-heavy rock ("The End," "I Want You (She's So Heavy)," "Come Together"). George Harrison also blossomed into a major songwriter, contributing the buoyant "Here Comes the Sun" and the supremely melodic ballad "Something," the latter of which became the first Harrison-penned Beatles hit. Whether Abbey Road is the Beatles' best work is debatable, but it's certainly the most immaculately produced (with the possible exception of Sgt. Pepper) and most tightly constructed.

November 21, 2009: Tracks were clean yet still true to the original. Not over engineered but done well.

Extra computer content did not work on my Macintosh -used older technology that did not work with Snow leopard on my Macintosh.

Maybe the best Beatles album?by wbillings3

November 11, 2009: It was supposedly put together with "left over" Beatles songs, but when listening to Abbey Road it is difficult to believe. There is a flow to the songs on this album/cd that has been duplicated only on that rare occasion when an artist has labored long and hard to do so. Add to the music the world's speculation on the symbolism of Paul's bare feet on the album cover and you've got a once-in-a-lifetime event! This is a fine example of the music The Beatles were capable of producing, and you'll find your appreciation for their individual and collective genius with each listening.
