The Beatles – Abbey Road (Vinyl LP, 1971, Apple Records SO-383, Winchester Pressing)

Why This Record Matters
Abbey Road was the final album recorded by the Beatles as a group and features “Come Together,” “Something,” “Here Comes The Sun,” and the extended medley that dominates Side B. Produced by George Martin, the album became one of the defining studio recordings of the Beatles’ late period. George Harrison’s “Something” and “Here Comes The Sun” are among his best-known compositions for the group.
