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)

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

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……

动感电影《黄色潜水艇》上市30周年纪念特辑采用全球最新[5.1环绕音效科技混音]录制，自1965-67年创作的经典作品完整收录。30年前您若错过一次，这次岂能错过千禧年全球最大盛事，改写音乐历史的巨人――[披头士合唱团]。披头士创下多项历史记录，拥有如此高的成就，这些荣耀应归功于热情的披头迷。

《99全新数位混音版》共收录披头士15首歌曲，所不同的是30年前版本只有6首披头士作品，这张CD将原来《黄色潜水艇》（《YELLOW SUBMARINE》）漏收的这9首重新加入，并全部数位化。

Rank 'em how you like, Rubber Soul is an undeniable pivot point in the Fab Four's varied discography no matter where, or how, you first heard it. The album was softened up in its original 12-song American edition to jibe with the Dylan/Byrds folk-rock sound, as well as squeeze money from the Parlophone catalog. The 14-song U.K. edition--the version now available on compact disc--is a different, more dynamic, and ultimately more accomplished achievement. So many classics: "Drive My Car" and "Nowhere Man" (both omitted from the U.S. edition) merge the early combustible Beatifics to a burgeoning studio consciousness; "The Word" can be read as a pre-psych warning shot; the sitar-laden "Norwegian Wood" and the evocative "Girl" (the latter written on the last night of the sessions) stand as turning points in John Lennon's oeuvre. George finally emerges too, with the McGuinn-ish "If I Needed Someone." EMI. 2005.

《Magical Mystery Tour》，这张长约一小时的专辑于1967年节礼日(英国假日，圣诞节后一天)那天推出，它的“自我放纵”显然没有受到大众的好评。你几乎不能想象那些忙着在圣诞树上挂彩球的老奶奶们第一次听到“I Am The Walrus”(我是个矮胖子)时的情形。这是The Beatles所有专辑中最不可思议的一张，而“All You Need Is Love”(你所需的只是爱)、“Penny Lane”(佩尼小巷)和“Strawberry Fields Forever”(永远的草莓地)明显是给美国人听的。这是疯狂的，但他们的路走对了。

在完成Let It Be之后，甲壳虫四人组合着手制作他们作为一个乐队、一个组合的最后一张专辑。这之后，乐队成员将各奔东西。由于这张专辑是在伦敦的阿比大街(Abbey Road)录制的，所以Beatles将其命名为Abbey Road。
录制于甲壳虫乐队最后日子的《阿比大街》是其成就的顶点，充分展示了乐队成员成熟的技艺。如同对他们多年共同合作的一个总结，该专辑包括了每一个成员的作品，各种不同的风格熔于一炉。其中摇滚乐有：The End，I Want You，Oh!Darling，Come Together，民谣类有Because，Something，而Sun King中的吉它片段，Carry That Weight、Golden Slumbers中的配乐，I Want You、Sun King、Maxwell's Silver Hammer中Sgt. Pepper式的倒带、各种奇奇怪怪的新乐器以及录音室噱头，都给人留下深刻印象。
所有乐队成员都有创作汇入该专辑，而每一个作品都是对他们各自独特秉赋的绝好印证。特别突出的是George的Something和Here Comes The Sun，这也许是有史以来最棒的两首歌了。Ringo的配乐技巧同样令人难以忘怀，Octopus's Garden显然有着该专辑中最诱人的旋律之一。
Beatles的解散代表着一个他们统治并参与创建的时代的结束，也许可以说以前或以后都不会有象他们这样的乐队了。对于无数的Beatles迷来说，这解散的时刻自然令他们黯然神伤。而若干年后列农的遇刺，更使他们中的许多人痛心疾首、甚至号啕大哭。时至今日，当刺杀列农的凶手可能获释的消息传来，他们中还有人扬言：这小子如果今天出狱，他将见不到明天的太阳！
这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第14位。
