The Story Behind Abbey Road of The Beatles | In Their Own Words

For many Abbey Road is the last ‘true’ Beatles record, and it is easy to see why. This video makes a construction of interviews of the 4 beatles and George Martin regarding their last album.

[@jimmiyIThink]

George's comment about Octopus' Garden is so sweet, love to hear his deep love and admiration of his band mate

[@karaamundson3964]

He loved Ringo so much. They on working with one another after the split.

[@DannoFromMpls]

There's a scene in Peter Jackson's "Get Back" where George is helping Ringo write it. It is a very cooperative thing, while they're waiting for Paul and John to show up.

Interesting. Ringo once called the “rock opera” junk but later it was great. He says that is his favorite album along with George Martin. Lennon’s was The Beatles, Macca Sgt . Pepper and Harrison Rubber Soul.

[@jamesschwartz3837]

My mistake. I watched it a second time and it is John who calls the “rock opera” junk.🤦🏼‍♂️

[@jayclarke5466]

John was totally wrong…alot

[@SST4SSG]

Rubber Soul is the true essence of The Beatles right in the middle of their career. And there are things I prefer about the later albums believe me. So I'm with George on this one (in fact he considers "Revolver" and "Rubber Soul" basically the same record in one interview I read... But there's something great about "Revolver" that takes it even a step further into greatness, if that makes any sense)

[@PhilWalsh-ny3qn]

I love all their albums, love um

[@markcorkum8341]

Simply awesome job! Its flows like art should

[@jameseverett4976]

Makes the best music of their whole lives: 'It just wasn't working anymore." Yea, right. That's more of a hindsight excuse they made up to justify getting used to not having to work for a living, or put up with any inconveniences, appointments to keep, or compromising with others. No, I think they were getting spoiled, life was becoming too easy with all this money to spend, free time to blow on whatever, no responsibilities and then "oh no, now we're supposed to make music again? Go watch anyone who doesn't HAVE TO do anything for awhile, then interrupt their "busy schedule" with a task and some responsibility to do something specific, and watch them fight it, have endles problems with every aspect of it, and be unable to cooperate with anyone else. And notice the difference in their countenances during the period where they were under demanding contracts, forced to get along and work things out, show up, and then how after they started taking vacations, going off and playing with other people, spending too much time apart, everything to do with the Beatles starts becomings a chore, the smiles are more rare, marriage & girlfriend problems start, they individuate over everything, and a tug-of-war starts over control issues, and they no long look happy or into it. But strangely, their music still gets better than ever.

Can anybody tell me what the clip of the three Beatles & George Martin talking Golden Slumbers comes from please ? Would love to see more of it . Thanks .

I knew She Came in Through the Bathroom Window actually happened when fan climbed on bin & managed to get through Paul’s bathroom window.

I've always said my three favorite albums of all time number one Abbey Road number to Pink Floyd The Wall number three Quadrophenia by The Who

[@johnorgan3]

Mannnnnnnnn can ya imagine if John hadda given Yoko (O NO) credit on Because, as she produced the bed track part of the backwards piano melody. Her name on an Abbey Road masterpiece! My fave album ever since it came out in '69, of any genre. Scary thought I know

[@PhilWalsh-ny3qn]

My favourite album,s are please please me, rubber soul and revolver but at asked if what! Abbey Road......... what a Piece Of Work ❤

[@wonshiin]

Nice. Very nice.

[@edwardjensen6595]

What I like best about Abbey Road is McCartney didn't get to force one of his songs as a single.

[@jayclarke5466]

Great songs from George and John and then Paul drivin the rest of the record w GMartin.Maybe the Best Beatles record

[@karaamundson3964]

Because blows my mind.

[@ronaldweed6103]

To me, a Beauty of a song

[@tdworak]

Thank God for Yoko

[@karaamundson3964]

George says that they were breaking up far before Yoko came along.

[@PontiacS.]

I Like side 2.

[@humanbeing5300]

Shes so heavy is killer, Because is gorgeous as is Sun King, Come Together stone cold classic, Something, and Here comes the sun. Pauls songs were weaker in my opinion, Oh Darling is pretty good and golden slumbers is beautiful

[@thebarryman]

"It's mainly Paul shouting" LOL

[@marguskiis7711]

John and Paul fought a lot during the recordings of Abbey Road.

[@libertyjustice2703]

Im pretty sure that a certain band member bringing his woman into the studio to sit next to him and stare at everybody while they are trying to be creative would be unnerving to say the least.

[@larryfloyd5111]

The claim they knew it was their last album doesn't hold bc of the Sept 9 meeting that seems to have not went well and was likely the last straw for John bc only two days later he was telling people he was quiting.

[@halwiseman9420]

That meeting was the true beginning of the domino effect of their breakup

[@scottishlady1474]

@@halwiseman9420 Nope...Yoko was the beginning.

The 4 greatest musicians and the greatest ever album of all time!

[@jamesmartin8232]

My favourite Beatles album. Don't get me wrong I love all of their albums. Abbey Road was the last album they recorded to feature all four Beatles so it has a sentimental value to me. Thank you Beatles and of course George Martin for all of the great music that all of you guys recorded and produced. The greatest band of all time.

[@ErikExeu]

Abbey Road and Revolver are my two favorite albums. I like them more than Sgt Pepper. The albums which are less impressive are the two albums where they did not really work as a team: The White Album and Let It Be. The latter two are just some collections of songs, some good ones, some not impressive.

[@Mike20216]

The Greatest Album ever made, By the greatest band of all time, thanks for putting this together.

[@rocktober1327]

Some of the dialog is taken from the David Wiggs interviews that came out about 1976, I have the double LP set. Each Beatle has a side of the LP and they have four interviews each from various years.

[@punkypappa1381]

Ringo’s final comment “every band should end at 8 years” is spot on! After 8 years,the best of a group has been recorded and they either duplicate themselves or release material that doesn’t measure up.

[@moistmike4150]

...with the exception of The Rolling Stones (of course)

Ringos a genuine crazy person lol, "Rich people give poor advice" - Mac Miller

[@teamqolb]

wow!, thank you for putting these together

It’s my favorite Beatles album for sure. “Because” is my favorite track though. I love the harpsichord progression, and then the follow up with the guitar, then those vocal harmonies are just the best.

[@jamesschwartz3837]

You are in good company. Both Paul and George have said it is the best track on the album.

[@lemondemon6434]

It’s got kinda a bohemian rhapsody feel to it with the harmonies… so beautiful… never heard this one before but just ❤ it

[@WillStephensArt]

The moog synthesizer and ringos drums and a backing orchestra perfecto

[@jh2264]

I thought I'd seen every Beatles youTube documentary, so finding this was a lovely surprise. Contributions from them all reflect how the album itself 'came together'! End result is a very succinct completeness. Thanks so much. The fact that the cover shows them walking away from the studio is accidentally apt and prophetic. Let it Be's contrivance highlight's Abbey Road's natural flow. Nice one. Thank you😊x

[@jeanmyers1787]

My favourite song is Oh Darling. Apparently John wanted to sing it but Paul said My song my voice.

[@jh2264]

And 10cc parodied it in 'Oh Donna' but gave the Beatles no credit.

[@PaulFormentos]

Plus "Paul" had to sing backmasked line "In me lives He"

[@1lightheaded]

A wise decision

My #1 favourite band..👍🏻🎸 I love the Beatles. The greatest band in the bloody world. Revolver and Sgt. Pepper are my favourite records... for this month 😅 cheers.

Hey, how's it going? Listen, I was wondering if you can make a video essay about the history of the English animated band Gorillaz and its members, albums, videos, stories, and phases, please? Because I think that group deserves its history video made by you and La Hemeroteca.

[@briankorbelik2873]

May seem funny or not. My fave Beatles album is Abby Road. Like so much in life, it's the time and place where you first heard it or experienced something. When it was released I was 13, and just dropped acid for the first time. It was a very different and despite the Vietnam War, things were better then in the States.

[@lemondemon6434]

Love Paul rocking out on Oh Darling

[@ericingham9925]

I was somewhat stunned when Paul said he couldn't read music. I guess his talents as a songwriter, singer, bassist and multi-instrumentalist rose above or simply didn't require a written "language".

[@robertcronin6603]

These 'In their own words' are just fabulous.

Did anyone notice the VW Beetle on the left in the background of the cover? 😉

[@karaamundson3964]

Yes, it was stolen so very many times

[@jimdoak3658]

Abbey Road Volkswagen bug, license plate LMW 28IF As part of the “Paul McCartney is dead” lore, the license plate was to be a clue of McCartney’s death coverup. LMW 28IF Linda McCartney Widowed. 28 IF ( PM would have been 28 IF he hadn’t have died) Kids smoked a lot of weed back then.
