John Lennon wanted the ending "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" to keep building until it was nothing but static and white noise, but it wouldn't fit on the LP. Frustrated during mixing, he famously said "cut it right there" giving the abrupt ending. Lennon also played lead guitar on the track and it was the last day that all four Beatles worked in the studio together - August 11 1969.

I think John Lennon was getting some interesting classical and advante garde music influences at this time through Yoko Ono. The coda of this song, with its dark, minor key arpeggios and grand sound has the feel of Bach's organ works, but the hiss that grows stronger and stronger is advante garden. John said his inspiration for "Because" was hearing Yoko play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.

"Maxwell's Silver Hammer" is a magnificent dark comedy piece. Btw... at the end Maxwell doesn't kill himself - he kills the judge. The joyful uplifting music is perfectly countered by McCartney's wacky serial killer - death by silver hammer - lyrics. And, yes, Paul is laughing at his own lyrics as he sings. The fact that this song was so very different than anything else being made at the time - makes it another great track on this outstanding album.

They were so creative they blew our minds as teens, actually my mom and dad liked them too.

Some of the greatest music ever written! Now you know my reaction when it first came out.

Definitely my favourite Beatles-album, and this was the last one they recorded!!! Talk about a impressive list of recordings and releases when you can save the best for last! Still, I love The white album, Sgt. Pepper, Revolver and the rest of them, but this has always had a special place in my heart, especially side 2 ...

Rick Beato recently had a discussion here on YT about how music today is short and how the entire tick toc 16 second clips are ruining music because to get into that trance music gives you, you need to listen for longer than 4 minutes. The Beatles realized this and I think that's why they released long songs and albums like Sgt Pepper that the tracks took you on a long continuous journey. Because if listened to as they intended from beginning to end without stopping you reached the trance state. I want you/she's so heavy was like that.. watching you rock back and forth reminded me of his discussion. It makes sense. The guys were brilliant. They took you on a journey. NOT to sell you music, but to expand your mind.

A word of advice when listening to Side 2, the first couple of songs stand on their own but the rest of the side is a suite. And all the songs run together and should be listened to as such. Please don't stop and comment on each one. Carry on brother.

I was 7 when this album came out and even being so young I was obsessed with this album, ha. I kept stealing it from my older sister to listen to it and I remember happily singing Maxwell's Hammer without a clue that it was about a serial killer! I used to use my hairbrush for a microphone and just stand on my bed belting out Oh Darling! with every ounce of angst and fervor my 7 year old heart could muster. My child soul really resonated with this album and of course over the decades I discovered the rest of the Beatles' discography and have loved their music. But now at 60 years old I still consider Abbey Road my absolute fave Beatles record. Maybe because it was my first experience of them at 7 but also because there are some damned great songs on it!

I enjoyed your reaction and thoughts to this Beatles album (which is my personal favourite Beatles album) - interesting little fact is that Abbey Road Studios was simply known as EMI Recording Studios and was changed to Abbey Road in 1976. Then in December 2010, the zebra crossing at Abbey Road the Beatles are crossing on the album cover was given Grade II listed status!

You absolutely nailed the breakdown for come together! John Lennon was using heroin at this point and I’ve always thought the song was a look at himself or a look at the band. Octopus’s Garden too, Ringo wrote it while he was on vacation escaping from the Beatles and all that came with it. Awesome reaction man and remember for part 2 the transitions between the songs are very important so make sure you let the songs play through

Just watching your reaction to this album gave me an unbelievable amount of joy and it felt like I was listening to it for the first time again

John wrote Come Together and said it was "a nonsense song". When he played it live after the Beatles broke up, he messed up the lyrics, and said live on the mic "That's what happens when you write nonsense lyrics". It's still one of my favorites, and I'm just soooo glad that I got to play it live as a bass player, and also sing the lead vocal in my last band project. It was one of the highlights of my live playing days, and one of the best audience reactions too. Thank you John Lennon! :)

They managed to make us obsessed by them.

She’s so Heavy is has so many odd but cool meter changes and portions are very much featuring the whole jazzy backbeat thing. So cool. When i listen to this song I can very easily hear Miles Davis joining in in my imagination.

"I want you (she's so heavy)" was the end of first side of the vinyl. Ending abruptly and on a relatively dark mood was done on purpose in my mind as a setup for the next song on side b being "here comes the sun".

The last track on side 1 was definitely an influence on Led Zep and Pink Floyd . But then the Beatles did everything first. Check out Tomorrow Never Knows on 1966 Revolver which is acknowledged as an influence by Pink Floyd . Incidentally there us a big new deluxe version of Revolver out at the end of November . Maybe you should react to that album.. It is one of the great albums of all time

"She's So Heavy" abruptly ending, was John stopping the recording. That reaction, is exactly what he was going for. What a joker...He just did, what he pleased.

Each of The Beatles albums had at least one song that featured their drummer Ringo Starr on vocals, 'Octopuses garden' is credited to Ringo but George Harrison helped him develop it. The song appears to be a light hearted kids song but it's lyrical inspiration comes from the fact that The Beatles were going through a tough time with their inter-band relationships. They were growing apart and not the tight unit they once were. Ringo would not get involved in any band disputes and would sit it out hoping it would blow over. This song shows how he longed for somewhere peaceful to hide away, on the second side of 'Abbey Road' George Harrison also expresses the same feelings in 'Here comes the sun' longing for a time when they were no longer under the pressure of being a Beatle. Octopuses do create their own 'gardens' they collect stones, shiny shells and anything else hard to build themselves shelters, the object being to strengthen their habitat with tough objects.

Ringo told the story on Letterman. The KZread vid of his interview is available. They were on vacation and the nanny was behind Ringo. She suddenly said, "take the baby". He said, huh? Then she repeated, take the baby. He did, then looked down. An octopus had one of his tendrils wrapped around her ankle. Then he told Letterman that if that had been him, and he mocked tossing the baby over his shoulder. He was laughing, of course. Then he said the captain of the boat they were on told him how Octopus make a garden on the ocean's floor. Ringo liked the story so much he wrote a song about it.

I just LOVED this...particularly,the way you were smiling,nearly the entire time. THAT'S what good music is SUPPOSED to do to you.

Your interpretations of these songs were excellent! You definitely picked up the right vibe from "Oh, Darling" (that was Paul singing the soulful lyrics)-it was intended as a throwback to the 1950s. And you also picked up on the darkness of "I Want You/She's So Heavy." This is considered a predecessor of heavy metal and doom rock like Black Sabbath. I've been listening to these songs for more than 50 years, and I still respect all four of the Beatles more with each listen. Paul's bass, Ringo's drums, and Billy Preston's keys (let's not forget the "Fifth Beatle") here were stellar. PS On the cover, left to right, it is George, Paul, Ringo, and John! Much was made of Paul's bare feet and John's white suit at the time; some people said it symbolized the fact that they had actually died. "Paul is dead" became a running joke for a time.

Did you just realize what a versatile, talented vocalist Paul is? Oh Darling, for me, is his defining Beatles song. That vocal is almost shocking even for a lifelong Beatles fan. Edit...please follow the advice and don't stop side two between You Never Give Me Your Money and The End. It works way better listened to as a block of connected songs. One thing you miss out on by not immediately going from side one to side two is the contrast between She's So Heavy and the intro to Here Comes the Sun. It's just one of those brilliant things they did that people take for granted. There's definitely a little menace to She's So Heavy, right? That sort of obsessive love might be a turn on to some, but it's probably a little intimidating to most I would think.

I think the abrupt ending on I Want You (She's So Heavy) makes it stick in the memory a bit more. I loved your take on that song, I think it was exactly what you say, she's so heavy because of the weight she bears on his mind, it is a trip over the edge. I have long taken the abrupt ending to be implying a kind of almost violent act, the song drags you along hypnotically so that the sudden end in silence feels somehow violating. In the language of today, it subverts your expectations. At the same time, it's taken you from longing, the dark moods that come from a kind of unrequited love, into total silence and silence is, of course, a literary metaphor for death.
