My mother played this album on headphones into her belly as she rocked in a rocking chair for me before I was born. I therefore declare Abbey Road the best album of all time. Miss you ma.

It's unbelievable this album hasn't dated one bit since it was made 53 years ago. It's timeless.

Amazing how The Beatles made all of this great music in just eight years. They were all under thirty years old when they broke up! The best EVER!

Here Comes The Sun is the most beautiful song I ever heard in my life. I feel it deeper than bones every time I hear it. When I heard George Harrison's first solo album I was blown away at a level I haven't been before or after. Such angelic music. As I got older I appreciated so much George's stuff.

"Let's just name it after the street outside" is such a ringo thing to do

You really couldn't get a more perfect album than Abbey Road.

By faaaarrrr the best best best band of all time. I cannot even believe they have done so much in such short time. I'm so thankful to be able to live in their time in history 🙏

I remember sitting in the lounge with my beautiful older brother and lights out. We listened to Abbey Road so intently that it melted into my brain. The final medley is just beyond description.

I feel so blessed to be born at a time when I could hear the most amazing band in the world do their thing (and the thousands of spin off bands that they inspired)!

With Abbey Road being their last collaborating together, The Beatles went out in a blaze of glory.

The Beatles...the most iconic group ever...made all of their wonderful music...and broke up....before ANY of them were 30 years old which is astounding

The best album ever made. My children will play it, in full, at my funeral, then a party to follow!

I love the fact that even though these four men were ready to call it quits and their egos were at a critical level, they remained professional. They were real men who put their craft above pettiness. They wanted to go out with what they hoped was their best effort and didn't let personal conflicts interfere. What an important lesson that today's bands could learn from.

The Side 2 "Medley" of Abbey Road is absolute perfection. Whether intentional or not (even from its creators) it is one of the most magical pieces of art ever created.

For those who don’t know, Let it Be was the last album the Beatles released but it was recorded before Abbey Road. Many saw Let it Be as their finale when in reality it was Abbey Road. Although I like Abbey Road, I found Rubber Soul and Revolver their masterpieces.

I loved this video! They landed in America when I was 13. To me and my brother and friends nothing mattered but The Beatles. It was a time like no other. The '60's were legendary and the best time of my life!

John Lennon was totally wrong, McCartney's vocals are absolutely perfect for Oh Darling! It wouldn't have been right for Lennon.

I Want You "trashed for it's simple lyrics"...no one knew that at the time, thanks for enlightening us.

This is my favourite album. It highlights the best of each of the Beatles. In my opinion the creative juices were enhanced by the restraint Paul and John put on each other. While I have loved a lot of their solo stuff, nothing have ever matched the best of their collaboration. I love George’s music and Ringo always hits the spot. Thanks for putting this video together.

My favourite album, with Revolver as a close second. The Beatles are a legend, far above any other band.

Their music is still current today and better than the shit we have to listen to now. God I wish they could have made more albums. The best band ever. I don't think something like the Beatles will ever happen again simply the best!!!

Side 2 has this amazing, slow building crescendo and intensity that builds through the medley, culminating to this incredible swan song of The End. Utter perfection.

I marvel at the Beatles from start (Love Me Do-Please, Please, Me) to finish (Abbey Road) They didn't just produce hits but masterpieces.

If I only could listen to one album for the rest of my life, I would be satisfied with this one

Abbey Road is my favorite Beatles record👏

Abbey Road - The most perfect album ever made from its start to its splendid ending. Absolutely adore it and deserves listening to at least once a week - in full.

They say that The Beatles changed the world , I believe that and with this brilliant album their legacy is secure !

The stupendous Side 2 medley -- and then the four lads striding across that zebra walk and into history. The perfect photo for a perfect album -- and unparalleled career. The greatest band in history -- musically, sociologically and culturally. So glad I was around for all of it.

Thank you for a superb story telling of the album. The break up of the Beatles was a tragic day for music, but how great is it that they gave us this masterpiece as their final gift.

This lp and dark side of the moon are by for two of the greatest of all time both lps all songs run together so cool.

Abbey road isn’t my favorite of their albums but it might be their best. Its hard not to shed a tear when you reach the end

The 2 best songs on the album are George's. Something and Here Comes The Sun. Also his collaboration with Ringo Octopus Garden.

The energy of the rooms that exist in the rock and roll hall of Fame where they play live scenes and songs of the Beatles was a magical place to be. I wanted to sing along, laugh and cry at once. So very moving. It's wild that a band and their songs makes me feel like I'm home. Such power and magic in their sound. They are and will always be the best band ever!

The medley is so good that most of the recent covers sound really good too, some with interesting variations or subtle differences. It just gets better as the decades roll by. The fact that 60s and 70s music gets covered so much proves that song writing is becoming a lost art.

When those first few chords of You Never Give Me Your Money comes in ... I had to capture my breath just then. That starts the most incredible segment of music ever created. The Beatles at just some other-worldly level of greatness they'd achieved throughout their career and bringing it all together. They are the only thing that ever make me think a higher level exists to life/

This is Beatles at their finest. It's the end of the band, but pure genius. That B side medley makes me happy and sad at the same time. Love thus band now and forever!!

It amazes me , my teen years were chasing the Beatles music by trying to learn it , play it, and wondering why they quit. Today it’s understandable, but in 69, unthinkable

by abbey road, they all knew the beatles were done as a group, but wanted to go out on top of their game.& as usual, they succeeded.its a masterpiece that still stands the test of time.

Wish Lennon wasn’t so bitter and just found a place to understand Paul’s granny music, which I love. It takes me to be in a certain mood but it’s good to listen to

Interesting fact. John Lennon had no hand in the production of Harrison's Iconic Beatles song "Here comes the Sun." Lennon was in the Hospital recovering from a motorcycle accident leaving only Paul and Ringo to help George create the timeless track.

Abbey Road is The Beatles album I've listened to the most, Lennon and McCartney's songs are expected to be genius but George's contribution to the album really make it a masterpiece imo, I always thought it was the 2nd last album growing up.

For years this was my favorite Beatles album and it’s the one that got me into their music. It’s also the first album of theirs that I had heard in its entirety and I was completely blown away. Before that, I thought they just made throwaway pop songs. I still think it’s their most deeply moving experience. In that sense it’s actually a stronger comparison to Pet Sounds than Sgt. Pepper’s. If I’m taking a road trip for example, it’s the album that I can put on and listen to from start to finish and it’s riveting and deeply engrossing every time. Five stars and easily one of the greatest albums of all time in my book.

How a band so fraught with tension and chaos was able to create the greatest album of all time. It's poetic...

The five together had serious magic. An orchestra’s worth of input from 5 people, studio’s paid for. They came up with their bare minimum. Pure brilliance.

What album do I play the most? Abbey Road. What framed posters do I have hanging on my office wall? Only Beatles. I feel lucky to have witnessed greatness back in the day!!

This is very well-researched and told. The Abbey Road album is amazing. One could write and write about the quality of her songs and their flow from one to the next. “I Want You” is probably the heaviest Beatles song ever. It’s sudden stop, only to move to the panacea of Here Comes the Sun is an obvious example of the intelligence that Martin and the band brought to the project. But the most important thing of course is just the craftsmanship of the music itself. The beautiful balance of mood; never lingering too long on one idea: an album that deserves to be listened to from beginning to end (remember when we had the patience to do that?)

“I want you-- she’s so heavy “is the masterpiece. It’s heavy, alright.

Personally, my Favorite Album is Abby Road. I was a Senior in High School when it was released. I had every Beatle Album in my Collection. I saw them on Ed Sullivan in 1964. I’m grateful I got to take the entire ride. They influenced my life and music more than anyone. I think they wanted to present themselves as the best they could be on Abby Road. So happy George got his Two superlative songs on there…but they ALL contributed to each other in those recordings. Paul’s Bass lines and Harmonies on Something. They were ALL working their magic together for each other. Paul’s last line In the End…I think is the greatest single lyric in the history of rock. What a way to say Goodbye!…to each other…and to all of us! ❤Bravo 👏👏👏👏

the greatest there is, the greatest there was, the greatest there ever will be

I was 10 when The FAB 4 worked on and created ABBEY ROAD. I was a fan as a little child and I'm still a fan of The BEATLES today. As Pete Townshend has said, "Long live Rock be dead or alive!" I will be a Beatles fan until the day I die (and then some). + Durasaxon +✝️

I bought every Beatle record as soon as it was released. (Sadly, I did not keep care and track of them over the years.) Anyway, I have always believed Abbey Road was their best of all. And that is saying a lot given the great stuff they had already produced. I just can't say enough about the Beatles. I remember their Ed Sullivan debut like it was yesterday. Their impact on music, culture, society, etc., cannot be measured.

There's some special quality about Beatles music, it's almost spiritual. It gets me emotional. Particularly on the three standout tracks on "Abbey Road" - i.e. "You Never Give Me Your Money", "Because" and "Golden Slumbers".

Their greatest album and probably the greatest ever. The flow from beginning to end is incredible especially for the 1960s. This and Sgt Peppers are their most complete and consistent albums.

I never felt anything so deeply as all the Beatles songs and growing up with them was a joy particularly because my parents adored them as well. They were the soundtrack to our lives from 1963 onward including and especially the solo albums that followed. There’s never been another experience like it.

Abbey Road and Rubber Soul are my two favorite Beatles albums. Abbey Road is just a masterpiece.

Great video. Really tells the story well. Perhaps the most perfect album in the history of rock and pop. It encapsulates everything about The Beatles in a single vinyl platter. Sometimes the sprawling brilliant mess of the white album is my favorite. Sometimes the great songwriting and expanding vision of Revolver is my favorite. Today Abbey Road is my favorite. Thank you.

" I Want You " ranks right up there with " Helter Skelter " as one of The Beatles heaveist track !!!

You never give Me your money sums it all up for me. It had all the elements of their music wrapped into one 4 minutes song. A masterpiece.

A classic album.

Best album by anyone ever

Stupendous album!

I’m glad there was never a reunion..it makes them even more majestic even though a tragedy of epic proportions in 1980 sealed that from ever happening..and never forget the impact George Martin had in making the perfect timeless masterpieces that cannot be topped..it isn’t possible

Thanks for a fine presentation. I'm one of the many who's favorite album is Abbey Road. And in the end, my favorite Beatles song is I Want You (She's So Heavy), both for simple reasons. I was born early 1967 and when I grew up we never had a proper stereo with a record player, so at seven I made my mom finally buy me an original cassette. I inherited my sister's tiny Philips mono player, and couldn't stop playing it, like on a 350 km car trip to visit grandma. Mom must have gone slightly mad with me and Abbey Road in the back seat, as I was lying flat listening and trying to cure my car sickness. It worked, and perhaps mom somehow liked the music after all. Within a year my other sister nagged on her to buy a guitar, so grandma's donation to get a panel oven for my stone cold room turned into a Yamaha nylon 6-string. Nothing better could ever happen. My sister gave up learning early on, while I was devoted and played along with what still was my only tape, until it one day was unplayable tape salad. However, I learned the bass lines and tuned down the strings to make them sound deeper, and I could also play the heaviest, darkest and most intense riff in rock history. That's how I became a musician. Thank You Mom, and the Beatles!

When I heard Revolver thought it was their greatest if not the greatest album of all time Then I heard Abbey Road Great work very infirmative

Music Box, thank you for this, I really enjoyed it. This doc was at a good pace, had great pictures of the band, and gave much information about The Beatles! In 1964 age eleven, I went from baseball cards to Beatle boots and flare bottom pants and became a drummer! It was tremendous how they suddenly appeared with a powerful and enduring force and energy. They also really helped the US recover from the killing of our beloved president JFK just a few months before! It is astounding how much these four men reflected and influenced the entire world for decades! As said, what a blessing it was to have been alive, to have seen and felt it, and to have been a part of it! Yes, The Beatles are the greatest band in world history. And they are one of the biggest events as well!

"Something" is an absoluetly Beautiful tune....

I always felt that “Fixing a hole” was a vocal exercise …Oh Darling would be beautiful no matter which Beatle sang it…but my vote goes for Paul on this one. My favorite on this album is “She came in through the bathroom window” …I don’t even know why, but I love it! My life would’ve been a lot more boring, if it weren’t for the BEATLES in my life. 🙏❤️🇺🇸

The Beatles by far the greatest Rock Band that ever was and will ever be!

Really great documentary you've put together here, quite a lot I didn't know before. Thanks for releasing these videos!

Its sad that they all knew it was the end. Daily, they went about their craft knowing this. And it didnt have to be the end, they always made great art

I agree Paul's vocal on this song is one of his best ever absolutely brilliant

My favorite album - no doubt about that. Since I heard it for the first time, in 1970 - when I was 16 years old - from now, with 68 years old - I still feel the same. An immortal place for anyone to visit anytime they want.

Ironically, in the iconic shot of them crossing Abbey Road, there's a Volkswagen Beetle parked on the side where George Harrison is crossing, perhaps a subliminal reminder of all the time they spent in Germany perfecting their act, or maybe just a subtle way to remind everyone there is always a 5th Beatle.....

Thank you for a lovely behind the scenes for an album that is a masterpiece. Not one note can be added nor taken away.

Everyone goes on about Revolver or Rubber Soul being the best Beatles album , but it's Abbey Road for me.

I am so thankful that Paul stood his ground on Maxwell’s Silver Hammer. The other Beatles hated it, many fans don’t like it. But I unironically love it. I enjoy it so much and it puts me in a great mood every time.

Thanks! I hadn't seen this one. I'm seventy-four. The Beatles had so much to do with how I look at life and the world, even today. My opening to life, at four-teen years old, was nothing short of magical.

If you're a Beatles fan, it's hard to keep a dry eye when you're listening to "You never give me your money".

One of the best documentaries I've ever seen in KZfaq. Just great!!! Thanks for your work.

My favorite Beatles album,hands down 🙌🎵 Btw,I had to enter in 4th decade of my life to not take George's masterpieces for granted! Better late then never,I guess!

Thank you for putting this together. What amazes me about Abbey Road is that I actually enjoy it more with every listen - there aren't may albums like that. It's as if I hear it for the first time every time, and there's always something new i pick up that I didn't notice before. And as with almost all Beatles output the range of emotions evoked is tremendous. I've cried happy tears many times while listening and thinking about how this was the closing of their union. If I could have one wish it would be for the Beatles to have performed The Long One together live.

Great video about a great album. Well done 👍

If hard's not to overstate things here ... but put simply, thankyou for these uploads. Your command and use of the English language beautifully articulates each song's time, place, form and event. The result transforms the understanding of the viewer using descriptive and vivid language and as someone with little background knowledge, I am truly grateful.

When you look at the pictures of them and they are so young, it’s amazing the amount of creativity they had and all the accomplishments before they were 30.

The Beatles knew this was their grand finale. George Martin said everyone got along and it was a very happy album, and you can hear it in the songs.

A really noteworthy, accurate and well balanced documentary. Music and lyrics need to be viewed in the context of the time they were produced and the point of developmental evolution of its creator(s).... in just 8 years the Beatles had gone from the raw and catchy tunes of their beginnings to the remarkable and complex music and themes of their final years. They had so many "firsts" in what they did over those years, commentators have lost count. They not only changed music forever but as we all know, the world too in so many ways. Given their world fame had rapidly surpassed anything or anyone else in modern history, they should each be given great credit for keeping their feet on the ground and retaining their common touch. John, Paul, George and Ringo - legends always who inspired countless future musicians. I am 65 years old and have yet to meet a single person who doesn't know the words or tune of a Beatles song.

My elder sister gave me her used Beatles compilations Blue and Red. But «Abbey Road» was the first record I bought from my own pocket money. And I had to save several weeks for it... This was in the early eighties.

Fantastic photos! Many I haven’t seen before. Thanks!

The 2 best songs on the album are both George's songs.

Here Comes The Sun is my all time favorite, but I love the entire album. If the Beatles had not split up, they would have never come to their maturity as musicians individually. It was necessary as they all grew after the breakup albeit Jon's life was cut short. We will never know how he might have been in his old age.

What a classic album . I listen to it at least a dozen times a year . I love The Beatles .

Well told detailed story of a great album of the greatest band ever, Thanks!

In retrospect it is amazing to see just how right Paul was about so many aspects of Beatles music, management, and business.

Very nicely done. Thank you.

What a superb album! The best I have ever listened to. Forget about the dark side of the moon. This is much better. And we are talking here about the best two albums in the history of music.

I got it for Christmas one year, I was...14ish, loved it...I could only play the first 20 seconds...due to family, but I was hooked

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

I was still in the single digits when ABBEY ROAD came out and really, this was the first Beatles album I cared much about. My brother, nearly six years older than me, was big on the Beatles early on but I don't remember him having any of their albums past the "moptop" era. AR's significance to my own musical development was that it was this album more than any other that taught me how music worked, much less rock music. I remember sitting on the floor of my bedroom with a portable cassette player and a book of Beatles sheet music (transcribed for piano) and I would follow along between the tape and the book. My modern perspective is that it was AR where the Beatles tried, knowingly or not, to align themselves with the rock music of the day...and they mostly succeeded. When I say that, I don't mean necessarily that they came up short; in some ways, I think, they *led* and in other ways they *lagged*. That being said, if they weren't all sick of each other and sick of being "The Beatles" and all the baggage associated with that, it seems like AR could have been looked at in retrospect as a new kicking-off point. I'm reminded of the three albums the original members of Asia reunited for and how they got dramatically better as they went; "AR II" and "AR III" could have been like that. It would have also been a good time for the four of them to have really woodshedded and expanded what they could do as instrumentalists; when it comes to that, they were getting steamrollered by the Jeff Becks, Jack Bruces, Tony Bankses, Jimmy Pages, and Keith Moons of the world who were rushing up behind them. Alas, we go to war with the Beatles we have, not the Beatles we want. :)

Excellent. Wish these episodes were twice as long.

Excellent documentary about my favorite album ever. Just excellent work. Thank you very much! T
