Album Number Seventy-Three “Abbey Road” is the eleventh studio album by the Beatles, released on 26 September 1969 by #applerecords . Named after the location of EMI Studios in London, the cover features the group walking across the street's zebra crossing, an image that became one of the most famous and imitated in popular music. The album's initially mixed reviews were contrasted by its immediate commercial success, topping record charts in the UK and US. The lead single "Something" / "Come Together" was released in October and topped the US charts. My copy is a mid-seventies reissue on #capitolrecords - SO 383. The album incorporates genres such as blues, rock and pop, and makes prominent use of Moog synthesizer, sounds filtered through a Leslie speaker, and tom-tom drums. It is #thebeatles only album recorded exclusively through a solid-state transistor mixing desk, which afforded a clearer and brighter sound than the group's previous records. Side two contains a medley of shorter song fragments. The sessions also produced a non-album single, "#theballadofjohnandyoko “ backed with "Old Brown Shoe". #rockandroll #thesixties #johnlennon #paulmccartney #georgeharrison #ringostarr https://www.instagram.com/p/CRG4nB7rLsM/?utm_medium=tumblr
