DESCRIPTION: All Music Review by Richie Unterberger
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.

THE END
April 2017, ROYAL MAIL ANNUAL UK POSTAGE PRICES: (some slight changes)
Those who have bought off me before know that I do not add on any extras.
My prices are based on carefully averaged parcel weights because I use strong recycled cardboard.
LP weights & covers vary considerably, (it is rare that any two parcels are exactly the same weight)
BUYING MORE THAN ONE ITEM:
If you buy more than one item ebay will not automatically calculate the postage savings for combined parcels:
i.e., it costs the same to post 1, 2, or 3 singles to UK, Europe or ROW & 1, 2 or 3 LPs to UK, (see full chart below)
Please email to let me know after an item has finished if you plan to bid on subsequent items - then again when you’re ready for your Invoice, email to let me know & I can then adjust your postage savings. THANK YOU
PLEASE NOTE: I NEVER USE ‘MAILERS’:
I MAKE VERY STRONG PARCELS USING RECYCLED CARDBOARD IN ORDER TO GIVE MAXIMUM PROTECTION IN TRANSIT
