Beatles/Abbey Road Sessions

The latest work in the Sessions series, which covers outtakes and other mixes for each Beatles album, is the last one recorded, ``Abbey Road.'' ``Let It Be'' was released later, but after a difficult session, the members bowed to George Martin and asked him to produce it again, resulting in the century masterpiece ``The Abbey.'' load". Each member had a premonition that this would be their last album as the Beatles, but the result was a historical masterpiece. John, Paul, and George generously displayed their unique talents, resulting in a masterpiece that could not be better than this. This work will be an epoch-making title that includes the first appearance sound source and records the entire recording session of "Abbey Road". Basically, it is edited according to the order of the songs on the album, and the opening of disc 1 is "Come Together". John's vocals are extremely powerful in take 4, and it's very interesting to see him experimenting with changing the tone of his voice. It is said that John did not like his own voice, so he tried various ways of singing, tones, and processing, and you can see some of that. “Something” is a detailed record of how the song was gradually completed from a demo take from an acetate sound source. “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” includes a take with an intro, playing with the piano before playing, stopping at the beginning of the intro, and Ringo repeating the same drum phrase over and over again. In the take 26 overdub of "Oh Darling," Paul's voice is completely hoarse, probably due to the repeated singing, and it's funny to hear that the chorus is in falsetto. Next is disk 2. “Octopus’s Garden” with Ringo’s pounding drums feels like a temporary song, and without that impressive chorus, Ringo sings a single track solo. Before the performance, there is also a recording of George practicing the guitar behind Ringo's laughter, and although the credit is shared by four people, you can see that this song was made by George. In take 1 of “Here Comes The Sun,” the bass and drums are intertwined with the acoustic guitar, and the refreshing beauty stands out. It takes a lot of time to get started on the song, including tuning. What is interesting is that although it was not included in the release version, an electric guitar solo was added in the actual recording. It's a sound source of George Martin and Dhani listening to multi-tracks in the studio, but in the form of overlapping the orchestration, it includes the sound of an electric guitar that changes the impression completely, and even the high-pitched sound of an electric piano. If this had been adopted, the song would have been different. To begin with, the album ``Abbey Road'' is different from previous Beatles albums in that the guitars are much more prominent than past albums, and there are two songs by George, ``Something'' and ``Here.'' It can be said that ``Comes The Sun'' has made a major contribution. "You Never Give Me Your Money" is the prelude to the medley, and the interesting thing about it is that it doesn't have a set end, and the improvisations with the guitar and piano continue endlessly. The never-ending performance feels like listening to jazz. Disc 3 finally begins with the highlight of the album, the B-side medley. It was very thrilling to see each song being finalized even though they were not yet connected as a medley. That high-quality B-side was still made in the same way as before, and although "Polythene Pam" and "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" were two songs, they were originally recorded together. Also includes footage of John and Paul giving instructions to each other in the studio. There is a clear difference in the atmosphere from that get-back session, and you can feel the enthusiasm for working together to finish the work, and for it to be of a quality worthy of the Beatles' last work. Then, the finale of the medley begins with a beautiful medley of three songs: “Golden Slumbers,” “Carry That Weight,” and “The End.” In the early take where Paul's piano is suspicious, Paul's vocals can be heard faintly with the off-mic. What is interesting is take 7 of "The End", the familiar guitar solo is actually longer, and what you can hear here is an even longer opening part. I don't know who wrote it, but I was quite surprised when I first heard it. It has been revealed in Mark Louison's book that "Her Majesty" was originally included in the medley, but here the medley including "Her Majesty" is included. Finally, Disc 4 contains outtakes of songs that were not included in the album but were recorded around the same time. A 4-disc set that covers the sessions for the masterpiece ``Abbey Road''. This work will be the last album in the session series for each album that continued from the first album. Until now, there has never been a series that is so thorough in both quality and quantity. Each title has included songs that were recorded at the same time but were only singles and not included in the album, but it seems that the songs that were left out will be released next as EXTRA. We sincerely hope that this series will be of assistance to researchers regarding the Beatles' works, which have collected the best of recording technology at the time during their nine years of activity.
