When the Beatles Walked Offstage: Fifty Years of “Abbey Road”

Of the relatively small catalog of Beatles albums, to me, Abbey Road is a shining star, possibly eclipsed only by Sgt. Pepper. Almost the entire record depicts the group at the very height of their musical prowess and features a couple pieces by Harrison that place him firmly on the same level as Lennon and McCartney. And that cover! A real work of genius.

The 60's were a glorious time for musical expression for which the Beatles were a quintessential factor. Abbey Road was a great bookend to both the era and to The Beatles work as a group.
