I listened to the vinyl tonight with a friend. We both thought it was amazing. For whatever that's worth. I'm pretty sure he was leaking at the end of side two. Or he had something in his eyes.
Abbey Road 50th Anniversary
I’ve been listening to the 50th Anniversary of “Abbey Road” by The Beatles all morning....what fun! The new mix is well done. It’s warm and spacious.
I understand The Beatles albums are sacred for some. I’ve enjoyed most of the remastered and reissued albums over the years. This new “Abbey Road” release definitely sounds different, and after a few plays I put on the original pressing and the 2009 remastered version for comparison. I prefer the cleaner, sweeter sonics of the newer versions.
I like the extra instrumentations, orchestrations and outtakes. The new packaging and materials are wonderful. The books, photos and sleeves are tastefully laid out with a high quality presentation.
What do you think of this iconic masterpiece? What is your favorite pressing/version of “Abbey Road”?
“....and in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make....”
