Hello stranger. I doubt we’ll ever meet but I’m glad we’re joined in the fact that Abbey Road is the greatest album ever made.

[@silentforest7147]

A perfect album- but it also had that something extra that makes it something even more than art.i can't really explain it.

[@jodafishpilot]

I have many albums tied on my list of second-favorites. But there is only one all time favorite on my list, and this is it. In the mid nineties I went to London and stood on the exact spot where the Abbey Road album cover photo was shot. The cars were different, but the roadway looked the same. I went to the door of the studio and knocked to see if they would let me in. The gentleman who answered explained that they would love to let me in but couldn't because it's a working studio then gave me a studio brochure. I bet he had a desk just inside the door with a big stack of brochures to give to people who knock. He told me that every couple months or so they clean all the graffiti that Beatles fans from all over the world leave on the low wall in front of the studio so that visitors will have somewhere to leave new graffiti.

[@bradparker9664]

That IS pretty cool. He slipped bits in on other stuff, too. During the drum intro in the Pepper Reprise, it has always sounded to me like he says "bye," as if signing off at the end of the mythical SGT Pepper show.

Voices blend so well

[@sl1ck557]

Growing up together does that. Thats why not many bands are like this today. These guys were around 16 when they first started playing together. They didn’t get “big” until nearly 8 years later.

[@DrVonNostrand]

Big reason why they were so popular, the way their voices harmonized

[@chasegorter4286]

For sure. Another great example of that are the beach boys and the bee gees. Growing up together and literally having similar voices because of shared blood.

[@willoverdoseonmusic]

Also a testament to George Martin. He really had to work hard to make their voices blend as perfectly as possible. It's amazing how good they were considering they were just some lads who loved rock 'n' roll, not choirboys.

Can you believe that this album will be 55 years old this year? For many like me who bought it in 1969 we will wonder where the years have gone. It only seems like yesterday when I called in the record shop to buy my copy. Yes, folks - we had to physically go out and buy it - no online shopping then - in fact the who concept wasn't in our imaginations. This 'vocals only' post just shows what a good vocal harmonising group they were. They put in the hard work and reaped the rewards.

The reason they couldn’t finish “Now and Then” until 2022 is because they didn’t have the tech to clearly separate John’s vocals from the piano… and now that tech is readily available for people like this KZbinr to do this for fun. Crazy, but impressive and lovely to listen to!

That song has nothing to do with the Beatles whatsoever. A solo John demo from '77 he never bothered to record.

[@stevekaspar1396]

​@RichMansour I beg to differ. Bottom line no matter the time delay and John's untimely death, Now and Then IS a Beatles recording dude. Yoko sanctioned it along with Olivia Harrison..Paul and Ringo sing along with John across time. Even Giles is the son of George Martin and Giles has been mixing and producing Beatles material including "Love" for a couple decades now..

This is a cheap demp during John's disappearing years in 1977 that has absolutely Nothing to do with Paul Ringo or George. He himself refused to release it and wouldn't put on Double fantasy. Are we gonn take every bleeping thing John or George sang in the shower or didn't release and put the Beatles name on it and call it the Beatles so it can sell a zillion copies 53 later after braking up??

Side 2 of Abbey Road is my favorite piece of music that I have ever heard. Ever in my life. Somehow I never noticed how much Beach Boys influence there is in some of the vocals here.
