🎸 On This Day September 26, 1969: The Beatles Release Abbey Road — A Final Masterpiece

Released on September 26, 1969, Abbey Road was the Beatles’ last fully recorded studio album, and it remains one of their most polished and enduring achievements. Despite rising tensions in the band, John, Paul, George, and Ringo managed to create a record that blended innovation, emotion, and brilliance into a timeless farewell.

George Harrison came into his own with the unforgettable “Something” and “Here Comes the Sun.” John Lennon delivered raw power on “Come Together” and “I Want You (She’s So Heavy),” while Paul McCartney steered the soaring Side Two medley, adding gems like “Oh! Darling” and “Golden Slumbers.” Even Ringo Starr contributed his playful classic “Octopus’s Garden.”

The Side Two medley, weaving together short fragments into a grand finale that ends with “The End,” serves as the Beatles’ collective bow—a final word from the greatest band in rock history. Its iconic cover, showing the band crossing Abbey Road, has become one of music’s most recognized images.

Abbey Road topped charts worldwide, went multi-platinum, and is consistently ranked among the greatest albums of all time—a true final masterpiece.
