The Beatles' last recorded album and arguably their most polished, balancing Lennon's bite, McCartney's melody and a side-two medley that ties loose song fragments into one sweeping finale. Harrison contributes two of his finest in 'Something' and 'Here Comes the Sun'. A warm, confident farewell from a band at the peak of its studio craft. The The Beatles record for listeners ready to go beyond the debut.
On vinyl: Original pressings are collector's territory now, so most listeners reach for a well-reviewed reissue.
