Have you seen this? I stumbled upon it one morning last week. My dogs were ready for their walk but it's so good I made them wait the full 18 minutes.Haha, that you are not, but great day in history. This album ranks super high on my list and the melody on side 2 on record is incredible. You just sit back for 20 minutes with your favorite drink and listen to it just continuously string through.
Some more fun facts about Abbey Road:
- John Lennon had already told the band he was leaving when this album was released.
- George wrote Here Comes the Sun in his garden when he played hooky on a recording session for Maxwell's Silver Hammer.
- Paul was afraid to record the vocals to "You Never Give me Your Money" in front of the other band members so he went to Abbey Road at 8am one morning to do them.
- The original title was going to be Everest but they didn't want to do all the photos for it so they just went outside to take the pics and called it Abbey Road.
- The drum solo on The End is the only drum solo in the entire Beatles catalog.
- Something is the first of 3 hit records recorded about Pattie Boyd, George's then wife who later married his best friend Eric Clapton.

Well done. The silver-haired dude on bass looks familiar to me.Have you seen this? I stumbled upon it one morning last week. My dogs were ready for their walk but it's so good I made them wait the full 18 minutes.
Also, does anyone else get a little choked up during "The End", knowing that it was the last song the Beatles recorded together on their last album (even though Let It Be was released after Abbey Road)?
No, me neither...
I was working for a office partition installation company and we were watching the chase on the news on the office tv we were working in. We thought would be clever and do a parody in the truck on the way home over the company radio for everyone to hear. Co worker said I was in the floorboard and had a drill to my head and we were demanding raises and so on and we were driving to Corp hq. funny stuff. But we weren’t thinking that no one in the office had a TV on or had a clue about the chase so they had no idea wtf we were doing and pretty much thought we had lost our minds when we got there.I remember exactly where I was during the OJ chase: smoking hash in the common area of the downtown San Francisco youth hostel with some friends I’d traveled cross country with. Earlier that day, my guitar had been stolen by some dicks who smashed the windows in my buddy’s Mustang and then we smoked a doobie with an old homeless dude while sitting in the middle of the sidewalk on Market Street. That was a helluva day.
Caribbean plate tectonics create their own little mini ring of fire. Nice to visit, but seems as bad as CA if you swap hurricanes for forest fires.
One of the few times a government code would have helped.
