Beatles Sessions

Conventional wisdom holds that the Beatles intended Abbey Road as a grand farewell, a suspicion seemingly confirmed by the elegiac note Paul McCartney strikes at the conclusion of its closing suite. It’s hard not to interpret “And in the end / the love you take / is equal to the love you make” as a summation not only of Abbey Road but perhaps of the group’s entire career, a lovely final sentiment. The truth is perhaps a bit messier than this. The Beatles had tentative plans to move forward after the September 1969 release of Abbey Road, plans that quickly fell apart at the dawn of the new decade, and while the existence of that goal calls into question the intentionality of the album as a finale, it changes not a thing about what a remarkable goodbye the record is.

BEATLES - The Twickenham Sessions Yellow Dog 8CD BRICK BOX Reissue w/ slipcase. BEATLES - The Twickenham Sessions Yellow Dog 8CD BRICK BOX Reissue w/ slipcase Yellow Dog is one of the most famous and collectable labels available. Releasing their first CD in 1989, this label has seen many incarnations including Black Dog, Yellow Cat and the more recent His Master’s Choice - with releases in Europe and Japan.Overview This set offers over 8 hours of sessions from the infamous ‘Get Back’ Sessions in January 1969, a period during which the band were on the brink of ‘divorce.’ These discs offer only ‘Twickenham’ sessions and not the later ‘Apple Studio’ sessions with Billy Preston present. The sound quality is excellent however, and this offers an excellent entry into the ‘Get Back’ Sessions.
