The perfect ending to a recording career, this LP shows a band still in its prime, capable of songwriting and recording feats others could only envy.

'Abbey Road' is the biggest and one of the most unique albums in the Beatles catalogue and honestly it gets better with every listen. I don't think that it's a perfect album, it has it's tracks that don't live up to the incredible highs but when the highs are as good as they are on this record, I'm having a good time, especially from Come Together to I Want You (She's So Happy), those stretch of tracks are flawless in my opinion.
