Description of Abbey Road [Vinyl]:
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 [Vinyl] Reviews:
way WAY too much compression
2009-12-18 - I believe this "remaster" will be considered one of the great sonic blunders of the CD age. There is too much compression on this thing-- it doesn't breathe, it doesn't feel in any way like a true performance. They were tempted by the sirens of compression, and they could not resist.

It's The Beatles!!---You Already Know It's Fabulous!!
2009-12-18 - This marks the 4th and final incarnation of this classic album
that I will buy in my lifetime!
From vinyl (early 80's) to first generation CD (early 90's)
to 2nd generation (first digitized) CD (mid 90's) to 09/09/09...
I bought each of these new limited edition (stereo) remasters,
from "Rubber Soul" to "Let It Be", which is my favorite era of The Beatles'
stellar paradigm-changing mid to late 60's musical output!
As soon as I unwrapped them, I listened to each CD intently 1x, then smoked a
phat joint along with a strong daquiri, then listened down
to them all 3x more!! (-: Brilliantly remastered!

Flawless material to start with, but this go round I felt as if "the lads"
had actually set up camp in my music room and were giving me, just me, their best work in 3-D!!
Every breathe, syllable, finger cymbal, crash & high-hat, snare, toms, guitar lick,
bass riff, string arrangement and every other part is vivid, warm, pure and timeless!
There is no need for me to buy anymore Beatles material after this!
It can't be captured any better! (-:
I was an 18 yr old kid in 1982 when I bought my first Beatles albums on vinyl,
age 26 in 1990 when I bought their first CD versions, age 30 when I bought the first
digital remasters in 1994 at the time of the The Beatles Anthology with
"Free As A Bird", which I now own on DVD.
Now at age 45 in 2009, this is the final frontier and I'm satisfied.
SUMMATION: Great music, great band, timeless, seamless & forever without peer! (-:

Wickied good
2009-12-14 - I can't beleive I'm going through another Beatles phase. Abbey Road is great - even the cheesy songs. The latest disc comes with a mini-documentary that launches when you put it in the PC. Neat-o!

I don't really consider myself an audiophile
2009-12-07 - But this is a masterpiece of production. Well, ABBEY ROAD always was a masterpiece of production, but the work done to it has only enhanced the Beatles' most polished (and possibly best? It's 1/1A with this and REVOLVER to me) record. Worth getting for the rework of "Come Together" alone.

a bit too clean, but still a treasured classic
2009-12-07 - it may be the fifth or so time I've owned this, think I may have had it on cassette originally, and I believe my college roommate may have had the LP, and this was in the 80s . . .but there is nothing I can say about this that hasn't been said, other than it rocks from beginning to end, and for me tells many stories and feels like a conversation with a friend, and what could finish better than "and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make" ? this will never fail to be true, and then there is the crystalline, pure Harrison in Here Comes the Sun , and it is alright . . .for the duration of the CD, everything is alright. Love it, have loved it for so long, and will always love it.
