All I know is, I would never buy a digital copy of a Beatles album. They deserve to be owned in physical form.

 

Agreed. Same as I would never buy King Crimson or Genesis on Itunes. They're offering the complete Led Zeppelin, too, but I think I'll swing for the physical boxset rather than buy the digital download.

it's just dumb to not have an actual copy of Abbey Road. I mean...seriously.

agreed :)

Oh, hello. :)

Roll on september :D

I personally can't wait to hear Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, Abbey Road, and The White Album remastered. :)

Happy 67th birthday Paul!

 

Happy birthday, Paul! Looking good as always :P

 

On a side note, I'm so excited for September... :cheesy:

Hello everybody. I've never been in this thread before.

 

I downloaded (kill me if you want, I don't care) all the albums by The Beatles a few weeks ago and listened to Abbey Road. My first thought was that it's okay, nothing special. Then about a week ago I gave it another listen and liked it a lot more. I also listened to some other albums and they're great. What I love about The Beatles is that their music puts me in a good mood, makes me happy. So, recently, I hardly listen to anything but The Beatles.

 

That's about it for now. Bye! :D

the beatles puts me in a good mood too, my favorite part of abbey road is when polythene pam turns into she came in through the bathroom window...love that part.

Yeah, it doesn't sound like a new song started... :D

That's why I love Abbey Road the best, just the 2nd part of the album and how the songs go from one to another. My favorites are Sun King-Mean Mr. Mustard and Polythene Pam-Bathroom Window... such an amazing album

yea that is the best part of the album i think, those 4 songs.

John Lennon

 

there are very few things in music better than the second half of abbey road

 

I totally agree. On their own those songs are really not anything really special, but the way that they are strung together is just genious. It's weird because when I listen to the 2nd side, when I get closer and closer to the end to me it feels that the band is closer and closer to saying goodbye. Like the music sounds very fitting to end a career. I also love how You Never Give Me Your Money makes a short reprise during Carry that Weight...ughh just an amazing album!

oh thanks.

 

i bet its harrison, because i really like his stuff like something and here comes the sun.

No mate, John Lennon wrote it.

I am having a Beatles Spree this week, only gunna listen to the Beatles

 

I've also made my sig into a poster, need to find a frame for it, will look pretty sexy on my wall

haha i've been listening to loads of Beatles this week also. Listened to Revolver last night which is my fave album from them. might give Abbey Road a spin tonight. my goal for this winter uni break is to properly listen to all their albums and all of led zep's albums also.

They are just so good.

Abbey Road is so amazing.

 

The only track that seems "out of place" is Maxwell's Silver Hammer, not cos I dislike it, I actally really like it, it just doesn't really fit in with the rest of the album

Your sig is awesome, Nathan.

 

I kind of agree about MSH. It doesn't fit that well with the rest of Abbey Road, there's something about it that's too different. But it's an awesome song nevertheless! :nice:

Thanks, I need to get a frame for it to go on my wall, will look great

didn't john hate msh, i think he said it was "another one of Paul's grandad songs" or something like that.

Yeah they all hated it seemingly

 

You are right about John

 

George said it was "Fruity"

 

Ringo: "The worst session ever was 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer.' It was the worst track we ever had to record. It went on for fucking weeks. I thought it was mad."
