Background and content


To paraphrase author Stereo Williams, Abbey Road marks a remarkable final run for the Beatles. This record worked flawlessly as the climax of their greatness. The Beatles’ final album is the combination of all their attributes, producing one of their best and brightest efforts. The sound created on Abbey Road was inundated with layers and with the modernized sound that would come to characterize the classic rock records of the 1970s. Abbey Road was the Beatles' last recorded album. They gave the world one if not their greatest triumph as the final goodbye from the fab four. Abbey Road remains a masterpiece. This 50th-anniversary edition celebrates the music and the enduring legacy of The Beatles Abbey Road. (Williams, 2019).

The box set was released on 27 September 2019. Presented with new mixes in stereo, 5.1 surround, and Dolby Atmos, expanded with previously unreleased session recordings and demos, the anniversary releases include a four-disc set, three-LP vinyl set, a two-CD set, a limited-edition picture disc, single CD and LP releases, and digital and streaming.[1] On 26 September 2019, the Beatles YouTube channel premiered a music video for "Here Comes the Sun" in its 2019 remix to promote the 50th anniversary of the album and the anniversary edition.[2][3]

On Metacritic, the deluxe version receives an aggregate score of 99/100, based on 10 reviews – which the website defines as indicating "universal acclaim".[4]
