It was 53 years ago today that the Beatles released their final masterpiece, Abbey Road.
The album was released September 26th, 1969 – just months before the band would announce their breakup the following year. Abbey Road was the final album the Fab Four recorded together, and it spent 11 weeks at #1 on the charts.
The writing process for many of the songs on Abbey Road was chronicled in the recent Beatles documentary Get Back.
