i honestly think abbey road works as the perfect ending to the beatles, especially with the end at the tail end of the b side medley. the end was the first and last time ringo ever had a drum solo, it was the first and last time john, paul, and george all had guitar solos at the same time, it endlessly repeats "love you" as a callback to the beatles countless songs about love, and i dont think the beatles couldve gone out on a higher note than "and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."

It is brilliant, but what about Her Majesty, that's what ends Abbey Road, and I'm glad, because as McCartney said it was all a bit dramatic and serious, so he decided to put Her Majesty at the end to leave on a happy note. 😊✌️

No, that is not the story that I've heard. There was one person that put together the master before it went into pressing. He said he took the decision to put "Her Majesty" as the very last little ditty as some kind of surprise at the very end of the album - as he thought that little song deserved to be heard. But it was not at all intended for the album - so he kind of hid it at the end. You have to wait for it for several seconds before it suddenly pops up at the uttermost end. Paul McCartney once did a performance with the Queen present - and he did "Her Majesty." Said "Sorry, I just couldn't help it" !

Sorry to disagree with some other fans but I just didn't like Her Majesty ending the Abbey Road album. I thought The End was the most perfect way to finish the Beatles journey. When the piano is suddenly there on its own and then those beautiful harmonies that only the Beatles can do kicks in, oh my, what a way for a band to finish. Then you have those words "and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make". It's brought a tear to my eye even now after all these years. I guess thats the Beatles for you.

The Beatles Abbey Road ending was the proper way to go out. They'd done enough for us and deserved a break. The Masters of Modern Music!

When I was younger, so much younger than today, (in 1970) I'd fantasize like this, making playlists, but the truth is, Abbey Road was the last Beatles album. And that's reality.

I have to compliment you on your Beatles videos! I've read tons of books about the Beatles. Your research is arguably the best I've run across. The first video of yours I watched was the one about Pete Best. I read Pete Best's autobiography, watched interviews with him, and wondered why he was sacked from the Beatles. When you played a bit of his his drumming from the audition tracks the Beatles recorded, against a later version of the same Beatles song, it showed the inconsistencies in his drumming. No other Beatles researcher I know had done that. Thanks for clearing that up for me, and for your outstanding research!

Lots of fun. I listened to the album on spotify. I could picture uncle Albert as the closing song on side one. Thanks for the video and spotify song list!!

Born 1954 and big fan since i want to thank you for this great thing . greetings from bremen

I prefer that the final song of their final album is the last song they recorded together, The End. It says it all.

I always thought the song Band on The Run with the Beatles collaborating and building it, along with the engineering and production team contribution, would have made this a classically Beatles tune. Probably would have been the approximately the same but would have had that Beatles treatment to it and could have been really interesting.

Your Idea should be made into a cd , I would buy it!

I imagine a lot of us did this and Early on I made a lot of Beatle songs on 8 track or cassette but in 1997 from the cd's I downloaded the songs on my computer and each folder was a different album so I could play whatever I liked and so on. worked great. and also combined some solo work as you did.

I liked everything about The Beatles' Second Album.

Oh woman oh why is very underrated

Be great to see this album distributed. I know several that would buy it.

Watching your series of albums that never were, one song I wish had been written much earlier is Photograph. It would have been the well-anticipated, well-deserved collaboration between George and Ringo that could have complimented the Lennon and McCartney part ership splendidly. And it would have been a great closing number for their last album, and their career.

Yabbut George was the songwriter so it still comes down to that. Plus, and this is a bit of a stretch, with the whole band working on it, possibly somebody might have noticed the similarity and coaxed him to change it up.

George having one more track than John and Paul really shows what a fantasy this album is! Without the end of the Beatles we wouldn’t have got all things must pass, and thank god for that!

For the final album , you need to include songs from the ringo album, like photograph and I'm the greatest being as they are beatles collaborations indirectly.

I love that you caught the Imagine/Uncle Albert transition. I made my own four albums through 1974 and that combo is one of the most striking. Great picks! - mine diverged a bit, but I think you make a good case for yours. Only disagreement is that I think Too Many People and Back Seat of My Car are by far the stronger Ram contributions.

I think a bit later than the selections for this hypothetical album, but a great song for sure. One of his very best.

I recall an article in a school newsletter around the same time period, 71 or so. It was based on an imaginary LP titled "The Beatles Apart".

This is the 1971 Beatles album I made many years ago. Side One: Imagine Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey Deep Blue Gimme Some Truth All Things Must Pass Smile Away (I re-imagine this one with Ringo as the lead singer - and the entire group having a blast with this track) Side Two: Oh My Love Too Many People Let It Down (acoustic demo version - which is so beautiful) Jealous Guy Dear Boy It's So Hard Isn't It A Pity I could hardly believe that you had the exact same 3 songs starting your LP as mine - and the same song ending it. Amazing coincidence. My only real criticism of your selections - is "Blindman". How could you possibly choose that over "Back Off Boogaloo"??? "Back Off Boogaloo" is my all time favorite Ringo solo track. I absolutely LOVE the drums that open the track - and Harrison's guitar play is stellar. I didn't use "Boogaloo" for my 1971 solo Beatles LP... because I had it on the 1972 solo Beatles album.

I actually really like Blindman. I've created several Albums That Never Were which have not been released yet so there that's why some seemingly obvious songs do not appear. Thanks for the comment!

Nice selections. So back then, with a new album usually came a new single too. Would you go with a couple of these album tracks issued as the A and B sides of a new single (in that case which ones?) or would you go with different early 70s solo material for the final Beatles single?

There are a few producers that I feel would make for a good video. Shel Talmy comes to mind. Thank you for the suggestion.

@@popgoesthe60s52 Yeah. Thank you . When have you got more videos out. Thanks Steve, from Liverpool

I really enjoyed this gentleman's "Albums That Never Were" series. I have only watch two, but the whole thing was very entertaining. "Beatles '70" was well put together and very, very good, and "The Beatles Last Album," I thought was brilliant. This is a fun thing to do for a Beatle fan! Almost every single song that the guy picked, I would have picked too. His tastes and mine are very, very close except I have five changes. I would nix "Eat at Home," "Cold Turkey," "What is Life," "Heart of the Country," and "Awaiting on You" and instead I would have included "Crippled Inside" (great piano), "Teddy Boy," "Give Ireland Back to the Irish," "I Live for You," and "The Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp." Of course, every Beatle fan has his or her favorite early Beatle solo works, and that's the way it naturally should be. I was surprise by "Blindman!" One of the great things when Beatle fans "talk" is that we get each other enthused to go back home and listen to a song that we may have not played in a while. I have forgotten what "Blindman" even sounds like because it is a flip side, but I know that I have it somewhere. (Thank you.) Someone reading this may want to play the understated but absolutely brilliant "Deep Blue" and the country-flavored "I Live for You." Both tunes are "worth their weight in gold" to me. Sir, thank you for putting these videos together. They are a lot of fun. Ran Charles Collins

Thank you for the warm comment, Mr. Collins. This has always been a fun exercise and I always enjoy seeing everybody's selections. There are never two alike! I love designing the covers! More to come.

I like your choices. How about a Beatles 70 to 74 double best of..green or orange...lots of hits!

That is one I've been working on! Stay tuned.

Hi, thanks for this suggestion of a 1970/71 Beatles LP, it´s one I´ve actually thought about for several years ... having come up with my own solution - and interestingly with a similar division of 4+4+4+1 (or 2, depending on the running time). Here is my „Last Beatles-LP“: "What Is Life" (Harrison) - 4:22 "Another Day" (Paul & Linda McCartney) - 3:42 "Instant Karma!" (Lennon) - 3:35 „It don´t come easy“ (Starkey/Harrison) - 3:02 "Imagine" (Lennon) - 3:01 "Every Night" (Paul McCartney) - 2:31 "Beware of Darkness" (Harrison) - 3:48 24:01 "Maybe I'm Amazed" (Paul McCartney) - 3:53 "Jealous Guy"(Lennon) - 4:14 "Run of the Mill" (Harrison) - 2:49 - or "All Things Must Pass" - 3:44 "Dear Boy" (Paul & Linda McCartney) - 2:12 "Gimme Some Truth" (Lennon) - 3:16 "Isn't It a Pity (Version One)" (Harrison) - 7:10 23:34 / 24:29 total 47:35 / 48:30 Alternative instead of Instant Karma: Give Peace A Chance - it would be very interesting what The Beatles would have made out of this simple sing-along ... maybe something similar to All You Need Is Love. In my opinion several songs on my list are stronger than the ones you suggested, especially Beware Of Darkness and Maybe I´m amazed (one of best Paul´s songs ever). I omitted My Sweet Lord because of the later legal issues. Only 13 songs because the running time is already way over 45 minutes. Of course it was never going to happen. It´s definitely a pity. Cheers.
