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 – although Let It Be had been recorded earlier, its release was delayed due to production issues. Abbey Road 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-side single from the album, "Something" / "Come Together", was released in October, which also topped the charts in the US.

- hollisThe case forThe Archivist★★★★★
Side two is the best twenty minutes of pop music, made by four people who could barely be in a room together. The end is called The End. They knew.

Side two is the best twenty minutes of pop music ever assembled from scraps, and they knew it was the end.
