RATING: **** out of FOUR (Universal Music)
“Last chance to be loud!” jokes John Lennon to his fellow Beatles on one of the Abbey Road 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition’s bonus tracks. At the time, of course, he had no idea how right he was. But as even the least-fervent Beatles fan can tell you now, the band’s 11th album also turned out to be its final studio collaboration. Thankfully — and fittingly, in light of Lennon’s line — the Beatles went out not with a whimper but with a brilliant bang. Cut in the wake of the frustrating film shoot that would spawn their literal swan song Let It Be, the original 17-song Abbey Road stands as both the band’s final masterwork and highest-selling album. Hell, even the zebra-crossing cover picture is iconic. Now, almost five decades to the day after its release, the album is back in a deluxe box set that follows in the footsteps of the Sgt. Pepper and White Album sets by tastefully remixing the remastered original songs while adding dozens of outtakes, Blu-Ray audio expansions and a superb hardcover book that chronicles every moment of the action in exhaustive detail. Thanks to the generous folks at Universal Music Canada, one of the boxes arrived at my front door the day before the official release. Here’s a quick rundown: Step on the gas and wipe that tear away. THE BEATLES - ABBEY ROAD-50TH ANNIVERSARY (LIMITED 3LP BOX) 3 VINYL LP. Condition is New. Shipped with USPS Media Mail.
