Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - rated No. 14!

The famed last studio album by The Beatles, the iconic Abbey Road is presented here for the first time remixed and presented with additional session recordings and demos. All 40 tracks from the 50th Anniversary Edition's Super Deluxe collection are here on three 180-gram vinyl LPs. The two Sessions LPs are paired in their own replicated sleeve, along with the stereo remix LP in its own sleeve, as well as a 4-page insert all housed in a lift-top box!

Released September 26, 1969, Abbey Road was not The Beatles' final album, as Let It Be followed in 1970, but it was the last one John, Paul, George, and Ringo recorded together as a band. The Beatles will celebrate Abbey Road's anniversary with a suite of beautifully presented packages to be released worldwide on September 27 by Apple Corps Ltd./Capitol/Universal Music Enterprises.

Giles Martin, working with Sam Okell, from the original eight-track session tapes, was guided by the album's original mix supervised by his father, George Martin.

"The magic comes from the hands playing the instruments, the blend of The Beatles' voices, the beauty of the arrangements," Giles Martin explains in his written introduction for the new edition. "Our quest is simply to ensure everything sounds as fresh and hits you as hard as it would have on the day it was recorded."

Ringo Starr tells interviewers: "I've loved all the re-releases because of the remastering, and you can hear the drums, which got dialed down in the old days."

a good collection posted on 07/31/2020 5 Stars The British copy has much more ambience than this reissue. however, the bottom end is much tighter with this reissue. but listening to the rough takes is very delightful to see how a super album is born. Its very much like watching a cooking show to see how all the ingredients are put together. A must have for die hard Beatles fan.
