Editorial Review:
Digitally remastered digipak edition of this classic 1969 album from The Beatles featuring 'Something', 'Come Together', 'Here Comes The Sun', 'Oh Darling', 'Because' and many more. The album has been remastered at Abbey Road Studios in London utilizing state of the art recording technology alongside vintage studio equipment, carefully maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the original analogue recordings. Within the CD's new packaging, the booklet includes detailed historical notes along with informative recording notes. A newly produced mini-documentary on the making of the album is included as a QuickTime file on each album. The documentary contains archival footage, rare photographs and never-before-heard studio chat from The Beatles, offering a unique and very personal insight into the studio atmosphere. Capitol. NOTE: Abbey Road was never released in mono and is not available in The Beatles In Mono boxset.
Description of Abbey Road:
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
Abbey Road Reviews:
Get it for the packaging 
2009-11-28 - There really isn't anything to say about this great album that hasn't been said already. This is an album you can definitely play straight from start to finish.
The remastering is great even though it uses the exact same mix as the original. But what makes this even more essential now is the booklet that comes along with it as well as the mini-documentary at the end of the disc. The booklet features photos of the band as well as historical and recording notes. The documentary which runs about four minutes long has interviews as well as footage from the video "Something" (noteworthy in that not all four members of the band are in the same shot, a sign that the end was near). I'm not a big fan of the way the remasters are packaged but at least I don't have to worry about replacing a jewel box. At any rate, whether you had this album already or not, get this version anyway. Either way, it's an album that falls under the word timeless.
Abbey Road at it's BEST
2009-11-26 - It's very simple, this is the best production CD of "Abbey Road" that has ever been released. If you are a Beatle fan this is a must have item. I played it through three times when I first opened it because I just couldn't stop listening. I have purchased three new remastered CD's (White Album, Let It Be and Abbey Road) so far and plan to purchase the others soon. Trust me on this one!
Beattles Fan
2009-11-21 - I am a beattle fan and I love all there music This album is one of my favorites Regadless if you are young or old you will enjoy this music
The Real Thing
2009-11-18 - For once it wasn't just a commercial gimmick. This remastered edition is truly sensational for any Beatles fan. Well worth it even if you own an earlier CD version. The sound is so much tighter, it sounds so much more like a band playing together not just like an addition of random instruments (although some people have disagreed but they should compare it with the original vinyl not with other CD copies). The result is excellent even on my smaller hi-fi. If you liked the 2003 "Let it be...Naked" remaster (which was probably used as a blueprint) you are going to love this one. Let's hope other past gems are gonna get the same treatment. The Stones' "Sticky Fingers" springs to mind.
Remastered - Awful sound 
2009-11-12 - Most definitely don't bother with the remastered version(S) they have vocals on one side of the room and the music on the other. Unless your stereo has the ability to combine both, do buy the mono, or origional stereo if available!!
