"When The Beatles released Abbey Road, on 26 September 1969, it was not met with universal admiration. Some reviews were somewhat critical… even some fans were confused. Time has been much kinder, however, with many coming to recognise the album as a classic. For some it is considered The Beatles’ very best work – not least Booker T Jones, who, with The MGs, paid homage to Abbey Road album on their 1970 album, McLemore Avenue. Booker T, 5,500 miles away, in Los Angeles, gave a prescient assessment, saying, “I was in California when I heard Abbey Road, and I thought it was incredibly courageous of The Beatles to drop their format and move out musically like they did. To push the limit like that and reinvent themselves when they had no need to do that. They were the top band in the world but they still reinvented themselves. The music was just incredible so I felt I needed to pay tribute to it.”"
