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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

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

[@johnschaffer4100]

Imagine making this otherworldly album, and it's their LAST album. Christ, it makes me ache for what could have been had they worked things out. Two things happened almost simultaneously that couldn't have been worse and were the beginning of the death knell, Brian Epstein's death and John meeting Yoko.

[@Mike20216]

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

[@bartonone2005]

The isolated snippets in the background of different parts of these songs are priceless, especially the synthesizer segments. Seemingly simple melodies, when combined and layered, bring a rich depth to the music. I was pretty much done with The Beatles after the White Album, having moved on to other bands and various musical styles. Abbey Road pulled me back to them. They were still relevant and innovative. It surprised me, how much I loved that album. And of course, being their last hurrah, it was bittersweet. Chuck in Northern New England

[@robertcronin6603]

These 'In their own words' are just fabulous.

[@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.

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

[@teamqolb]

wow!, thank you for putting these together

[@karaamundson3964]

Yes, John, it is a DAMN funky track! Everyone really kicked ass on it, too.

[@martinrosendahl7150]

Wonderful video, thank you.

[@PhilWalsh-ny3qn]

I love all their albums, love um

[@jamesschwartz3837]

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)

[@karaamundson3964]

Ringo and George didn't particularly like Pepper. They both said they felt like session musicians.

[@ellesea123]

Lovely. Thank you for bringing this to light.

[@jeanmyers1787]

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

[@PaulFormentos]

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

[@1lightheaded]

A wise decision

[@karaamundson3964]

Actually, John said, "his song, his voice." Very gentlemanly, especially for our man John.

[@marcmaschal2897]

Very well done.Thank you !

[@peterwall583]

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

[@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.

[@karaamundson3964]

Paul, everyone else in the studio that day was fully aware that the idea to simply go out and take a cover photo on the road was Ringo's impulsive idea (as we're so many other impulsive ideas). You ought to give credit where credit is due--for once.

[@peterwall583]

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.

[@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.

[@jeanmyers1787]

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

[@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.

[@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".

[@karaamundson3964]

None of the Beatles could read music. In my opinion, that freed them up to be such an amazingly innovative band.

[@signe2023]

None of them could read music. (It's not that unusual. Many rock musicians can't read music.) However, those musicians weren't the Beatles!
