Meet The Beatles Group Monthly Meeting

This month's meeting will focus on Abbey Road.

Abbey Road is the eleventh studio album by the English rock band the Beatles, released on 26 September 1969, by Apple Records. It is the last album the group recorded.

It was mostly recorded in April, July, and August 1969, and topped the record charts in both the United States and the United Kingdom. A double A-sidesingle from the album, "Something" / "Come Together", was released in October, which also topped the charts in the US.

Although Abbey Road was an instant commercial success, it received mixed reviews upon release. Some critics found its music inauthentic and criticised the production's artificial effects. By contrast, critics today view the album as one of the Beatles' best and one of the greatest albums of all time. George Harrison's two songs on the album, "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun", are considered among the best he wrote for the group. The album's cover, featuring the Beatles walking across the zebra crossing outside of Abbey Road Studios(then officially named EMI Studios), is one of the most famous and imitated of all time.
