Hi Jeff! Happy Thanksgiving! Abbey Road still blows my mind and it's been decades since my first-ever listen. It's John Lennon with his musical anarchy in straight-focus. Paul McCartney's sentimentality with the brakes applied, George Harrison hitting a peak that caught most people by surprise and Ringo Starr, once again, being the band's steady best friend, musically and otherwise. Some of the best songs in the group's catalog.....Come Together, Here Comes the Sun, Oh! Darling.....are here. And the medley on side two......well, it's still mind-blowing all these decades later. Abbey Road is a masterpiece that somehow gets better----much better----with the passage of time, kind of like the group itself. Oh.....and that album cover is pretty nifty too. Great video once again!!
Thanks John! It’s a cliche, but this is an album that plays like a greatest hits. It’s a damn shame we didn’t get a sequel but maybe that’s for the best.
Very well done ! A great treatment of this excellent album . This is my second favourite Beatles album , after the US version of Rubber Soul . Thanks !
Apparently they didn't have control over themselves. Alan Klein made sure of that. Second time watching this. Always a pleasure to enjoy what you do. Thanks Jeff.
The isolated vocal and instrumental that's here are the best ones from any of these videos thus far. Somehow you were able to get these on here and keep them from being flagged I imagine you probably went through a dozen attempts at posting this before you got here. This was just wonderful God a great examination of this whole really great album.
Thank you! Yes, I have to test these videos multiple times before posting them and I’m lucky that this video didn’t get blocked (which is not to say it won’t at some point). 😬😬
Hi Jeff, awesome as always! John was ripped on the interview early in the segment. Also my second favorite Beatle album but, how dya pick just one? They’re all good. 👍🏻
Great album. Even though this album is not in my top three favorite of Beatles albums, I think this deep dive you did might be my favorite of the Beatles DD’s so far. Awesome work
Happy Thanksgiving to me from you jeff. This was a nice way to end today. Excited to watch this! HISTORY OF THE BEATLES INTERVIEW LP REVIEW?! HOPE NOT!
Belated Happy Thanksgiving, Jeff! My son was taking my car to school for a while, until we were able to get him situated with one of his own. This gave him access to my (*ahem*) rather large mp3 collection of albums. Whenever I'd get the car back from him, almost without fail, he'd been playing "Abbey Road". I can't tell you how good it made me feel that Dad's incessant playing of music in the car ultimately had the effect of seeping insidiously into the listening proclivities of a younger generation. My son somewhat reluctantly agrees with me that most so-called music today is pretty much crap (and I hope nobody's silly enough to try to argue the point, since it's pretty much been scientifically proven). His favorite is (of course) "I Want You (She's So Heavy)". But he's also been found to be taking in the joys of the medley. What to say about this album? It's the toppermost of the Beatles poppermost. Were the 1968 double LP not my personal and all-time favorite, it would be this one. The Beatles' song crafting reached an unarguable peak of sophistication and rock 'n roll dash and verve here. It's almost scary to ponder what the follow-up to "Abbey Road" might've been like, isn't it?
I agree with you about this being my second favorite Beatles album. Sadly today’s music is so far removed from the greatness of this time period. I can’t even listen to the radio anymore. Very cool that your son now appreciates what a special album this is. Thanks for your comment! Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Jeff. Like other people, I enjoyed the isolated vocals and guitar etc. This is a really detailed look at this album. I appreciate the work. You did. Really a great album last album by The Beatles. To the end, they really cared about their craft, didn't they?
Apple was a mistake with regard to asking people to submit their music and media not they had a few bands in mine already. As you know, none of the who knows how many people that submitted stuff got signed from that.

I have mixed feelings of 'Abbey Road'. While I really like the songs and their arrangements, the fact that they were all recorded using a transistorized console sort of "cleans" up The Beatles' sound too much. I was (and still am) too used to the "denseness" of their previous records; it's that type of ambience which will always stick with me as the "true" Beatles sound. I also feel that having access to eight tracks (or was it sixteen on some of them?) kind of spoiled the guys. There's a book that details the recording of 'Abbey Road' (can't remember the author or title) and... jeez, the amount of time George Harrison spent on "perfecting" 'Here Comes The Sun'... it all comes off as a bit anal. The album was released slightly before all those moronic "Paul is dead" rumors began. Can you believe there are still jobless losers still out there convinced of such nonsense... probably wound up as Trump supporters.
So excited for this one brother

Thank you John! 😊

Thank you! Worst decision they ever made to let that snake take control of their finances. After Yoko, the second big reason they broke up.

Dude, another stellar offering. I am going to bookmark your vids as my go-to for facts/trivia about the Beatles!
Thank you Tom! Working on Let It Be at the moment. 🙂
Great album. Even though this album is not in my top three favorite of Beatles albums, I think this deep dive you did might be my favorite of the Beatles DD’s so far. Awesome work
Thanks Gary! This one was one of my favorites to do. 😃
Awesome
Thank you bro
You are the master of the deep dive!
Thank you 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving to me from you jeff. This was a nice way to end today. Excited to watch this!

Thank you! Even until the end they were very meticulous about their craft and sometimes perfectionists to a fault.
At the 4:00 minute mark, who is on the piano behind John? I think it might be Nicky Hopkins, but I'm not sure. Edit - it could be Glyn Johns (17:04)
Or Glyn Johns?
@@jeffwhitchervinyldestinati4486 I believe so
An album of their "throw-away" tracks is better than most bands' greatest hits albums.
The older i get the more the early albums mean to me
The early ones are just pure joy to listen to.
Apple was a mistake with regard to asking people to submit their music and media not they had a few bands in mine already. As you know, none of the who knows how many people that submitted stuff got signed from that.
I think probably nobody got signed based on an unsolicited demo tape submitted.
So how did John and Yoko do it? I don't have a hot dog and a donut to demonstrate right now.
I don’t even want to think about that…….
Some great songs but this isn't a top 5 Beatles album for me , maybe 7th
What are your top 6?

No doubt they did. Buying into something that ridiculous would not be a stretch for them. 😂😂
