"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.”"It was the fifth of the six shots that was chosen by McCartney for the album and it’s easy to see why as all four men are in step and nicely spaced." (...)
Almost everything about the Abbey Road shoot has become famous, including the three decorators in the background and the white VW Beetle, which has ended up in the Volkswagen museum in Wolfsburg, Germany."

"Agora, uma reedição de luxo do álbum foi lançada para marcar seu 50º aniversário, levando "Abbey Road" de volta ao número 1 das tabelas de vendas 49 anos e 252 dias depois, num feito certificado já como um recorde de Guinness.
O álbum dos Beatles desalojou no topo Liam Gallagher, o ex-Oasis influenciado fortemente pela herança do famoso grupo de Liverpool e que lançou recentemente o segundo álbum a solo: "Why me? Why not"."

Some interesting comments of Lennon on Sun King. The song has one word of Portuguese (which John Lennon didn't knew of, but Paul McCartney knew - because he was in Algarve in vacations and wrote the words for Yesterday there during the trip from Lisbon):

Citando:
"John followed that by saying “Oh! Darling” was more in his style than Paul’s. But he acknowledged that they didn’t operate that way (i.e., taking one another’s songs to sing). “He wrote it, so what the hell, he’s going to sing it,” John said.
He then offered up another line that makes his 1980 Playboy interviews must-read material. “If he’d had any sense, he should have let me sing it,” John said."

Citando:
""Os livros sempre nos disseram que o Abbey Road seria o último álbum e que os Beatles queriam sair de cena por cima. Mas não. Ali [na gravação] eles discutem o álbum seguinte. E sempre se achou que John [Lennon] foi quem quis a separação, mas quando se ouve a gravação, percebe-se que não", diz Mark Lewisohn, considerado uma das principais autoridades no que diz respeito à vida dos Beatles.
A composição do disco que nunca chegou a ser gravado teria quatro músicas de Paul, George e John e duas de Ringo. E ainda existiria a possibilidade de gravarem um single de natal."
