Abbey Road is the eleventh released studio album by English rock band The Beatles and their last recorded. Though Let It Be was the last album released before the band's dissolution in 1970, work on Abbey Road began in April 1969. Abbey Road was released on 26 September 1969 in the United Kingdom, and 1 October 1969 in the United States. It was produced and orchestrated by George Martin for Apple Records. Geoff Emerick was engineer, Alan Parsons was assistant engineer, and Tony Banks was tape operator.
Abbey Road is regarded as one of The Beatles' most tightly constructed albums, although the band was barely operating as a functioning unit at the time.Rolling Stone placed it at number 14 on its list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time". In 2009, readers of the magazine also named Abbey Road the greatest Beatles album. (转自维基百科)

This superb compilation, often called "the red album", brings together the majority of the Beatles' hits from the earlyto mid '60s. Consequently, it plays like an overview of thesome of the most popular and indelible rock songs of all time. From the "yeah, yeah, yeah"'s of "She Loves You" throughthe amped-up giddiness of "I Want to Hold Your Hand", the minor-key melodicism of "And I Love Her", and on to the chiming power pop of "Eight Days a Week" and the tweaky feedback of "I Feel Fine", these are the songs that turned the entireWestern world on its ear.
The second half of the set--inaddition to its phenomenal songs-- is interesting in that it charts the Beatles' move from straightforward pop toward the new chapter of rock the band would help script in the late '60s. After the expansive chords and slinky melodies of "Ticket to Ride", the band becomes alternately darkly introspective ("Yesterday") and looser and more groove-obsessed ("Drive My Car"), while trying on allegorical Dylan-inspired narratives ("Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)"), and happy-go-luck psychedelia ("Yellow Submarine"). These songs are part of our living, breathing cultural identity, and--as this collection reminds us--for good reason.

二十世纪最伟大的乐队，二十七首冠军细碟，一次过收录在一张镭射唱片里面！由六三年推出《Please Please Me》到最后一张专辑《Let It Be》，The Beatles只得七年寿命，但却生产了二十七首冠军歌，绝对是前无古人、后无来者。
当然，如果你已经拥有了《1962-1966》和《1967-1970》两套精选唱片，这张《1》对你的吸引力未必很大，作为一个普通乐迷，已经差不多拥有了最流行的The Beatles作品，不过如果你是忠实的「披头迷」，这张唱片的价钱还是省不了的，因为唱片的小册子印满了每一张细碟的原装封套，无论是英国版、美国版、法国版或日本版均一并印载，仿如一本迷你的The Beatles细碟全书。
况且《1962-1966》和《1967-1970》都是双唱片集，而各自收录的歌曲亦只是廿多首，相比之下，《1》就更物超所值了。
Mariah Carey在98年也曾推出过一张叫《#1's》的冠军细碟精选唱片，但就只收录16首歌，还要强硬将翻唱Brenda K.Starr的《I Still Believe》（林忆莲比她更早翻唱！）和几首未能夺魁的单曲加诸其中，比起廿七首冠军歌，也实在相差太远了！
在怀缅昔日的光辉之际，我们也应该期望着下个巨人的出现，只是，巨人得来不易，还是继续播放《Yesterday》吧……

One of the best all-time rock albums by any measure, Imagine is nearing its 30th birthday-and here's a marvelous tribute. You can get the original LP on CD or cassette with remixed, remastered sound and a 16-page booklet with lyrics and rare pix. Or go behind the scenes of a masterpiece-the documentary Gimme Some Truth-The Making of Imagine , featuring an unfinished film by John and Yoko, is available on VHS or DVD (DVD has surround sound, an eight-page booklet and discography). A treasured moment in rock history.

Before Sgt. Pepper, no one seriously thought of rock music as actual art. That all changed in 1967, though, when John, Paul, George and Ringo (with "A Little Help" from their friend, producer George Martin) created an undeniable work of art which remains, after 30-plus years, one of the most influential albums of all time. From Lennon's evocative word/sound pictures (the trippy "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," the carnival-like "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite") and McCartney's music hall-styled "When I'm 64," to Harrison's Eastern-leaning "Within You Without You," and the avant-garde mini-suite, "A Day in the Life," Sgt. Pepper was a milestone for both '60s music and popular culture. --Billy Altman
