Abbey Road is the eleventh studio album by English rock band the Beatles, released on 26 September 1969 by Apple Records. The recording sessions for the album were the last in which all four Beatles participated. Although Let It Be was the final album that the Beatles completed before the band's dissolution in April 1970, most of the album had been recorded before the Abbey Road sessions began.The album's cover, which features the four band members walking across a zebra crossing on Abbey Road outside Abbey Road Studios, has become one of the most famous and imitated images in the history of popular music. Although Abbey Road was an immediate commercial success and reached  No. 1 in the UK and US, it initially received mixed reviews, with some critics describing its music as inauthentic and bemoaning the production's artificial effects. A two-sided hit single from the album, "Something" backed with "Come Together", released in October, topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US. Over time, the album became viewed as among the Beatles' best and many critics have ranked it as one of the greatest albums of all time. Abbey Road has sold over 31 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. In particular, George Harrison's contributions, "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun", are considered to be among the best songs he wrote for the group. paul mccartney yesterday movie vinyl memorabilia merchandise gifts presents birthday record album cd t shirt sgt submarine pepper yellow lonely club heart poster white beetle tee 50th abby apparel sargent set greatest hits anniversary john lennon sir ringo starr
