I like Abbey Road, especially "Octopus's Garden", cracking little tune. Let It Be was the last one issued, but (I think apart from I Me Mine) it was recorded before Abbey Road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I am finding is, I generally prefer their later stuff and have a preference for songs with McCartney on vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let It Be was bits plucked from the shambolic sessions for the 'cinema verité' studio movie of the same name. It was their attempt to emulate the Dylan & The Band 'Basement Tapes' approach - unrehearsed jam sessions, etc. (including the 'rooftop concert'). It was deemed a failure (it got shown on TV, but remains unreleased on video), and they decided to go back into the studio and do a 'proper', produced, album - Abbey Road. They put it to bed, and went their separate ways. But EMI wanted to squeeze out a bit more money, so they gave the Let It Be tapes to Phil Spector, and asked him to salvage an album out of them. That came out after the band had split. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is 'Let It Be - Naked', which was remixed years later, with the Spector overdubs stripped out. Still not that great by their standards (but better than many bands' best).

Mark Albrighton Posted June 17, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 17, 2017 My top three Beatles albums 1. Rubber Soul 2. Abbey Road 3. Revolver I also think the Help! album is very undervalued. Would probably have that along with maybe the magical mystery tour to complete my top five. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Black Sabbath, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Probably the bands masterpiece but not quite as good as 'Let It Be' by The Beatles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
