Originally issued in 1969, the album features timeless classics including \"Come Together\", \"Something\", \"Here Comes The Sun\" and the legendary medley that occupies much of Side Two. Widely regarded as one of the greatest albums ever made, Abbey Road showcases the band at the peak of their creative and recording powers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePressing Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEarly UK Apple Records pressing issued under catalogue number PCS 7088. This copy features the desirable YEX 749 A-3U matrix on Side A and the rare \"Apple Shadow\" variation on the rear sleeve, where a faint shadow appears on the B-side apple image.
