While recording 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)' some guy outside the building complains about the noise and asks them to quieten down a little! Which prompts John to ask "What are they doing here at this time of night?"

@@CBrolley It's a bona-fide word. I'm not sure what you're getting at? It may be borderline tautological to tack on the "down" but still in my experience "quieten down" is a very common expression.

@@andydporter5136 I notice on Google that quieten is a British verb. It’s an extremely obscure word here in America. That explains my confusion. I am not British. Nonetheless isn’t it easier just to say quiet down? The added “en” makes the word very awkward to say out loud. Now that I’ve said the word several times it’s starting to sound like one of those drugs we see advertised on television...”Take QUIETEN twice a day for fast relief from tinnitus.”

The Abbey Road Sessions make this purchase for me an absolute great buy. I don't agree with your final assessment. These 2 records are not meant to be an alternate to the finished product. They are an insight into the Beatles creative process. As such for me this is a great success. After hearing these two records I had to go out and buy the White Album Esher Tapes. By comparison I enjoyed the Abbey Road Session discs infinitely more than the Esher tapes. The final two instrumental tracks on side 4 were very poignant. The Beatles are gone, forever, and we are left with just the music. I loved the insertion of Her Majesty in the middle of the "Long one". It's a dramatic and effective break, and then back to the Rock of the medley.

i’d definitely say that “The Long One” is one of (if not the greatest) Rock Medley, but you’ve also got your “dark side of the moon”’s and “echoes” to get in the way. But 100% the best project by the band itself.

Paul’s vocals on OH DARLING... with them doing take after take, it made sense for Paul to just give 50% instead of 110% which we got in the Final take that was used on the album. Studio time for the Beatles was incubation time for every song. As you well know, many times in the early years, the songs recorded had been played hundreds of times in clubs all over the UK, Germany, etc. they were finished songs. These newer songs were simply created once they got to the studios with a bare-bones idea of the song.

I decided to get the 2 CD set because I already have an original Australian pressing of "Abbey Road" and I liked how they ordered the tracks to play like an early version of the album. Also to answer your question about "Her Majesty": After comparing the two tracks, my best guess is that they used Take 3 of "Her Majesty" on the album.

This version of I Want You ends interestingly based on the stories of the albums take, but it’s not worth losing the single greatest record transition in history. The dark wind moog sound abruptly ending after blowing the clouds away and bam! Her Comes the Sun. Would never make that trade but fun to finally hear for sure Some of these tracks were from the anthologies which was a little disappointing for me personally, but still amazing.

12:35 just a small correction. Paul didn't make the song for Badfinger, but rather it was a song that Paul rejected for Abby Road and then later gave to Badfinger as Paul felt guilty about how the band wasn't charting very well at the time. Fortunately the Badfinger version of the song was a hit when it released.
