THE ABBEY ROAD BOX SET: https://amzn.to/2PM3RCy WATCH THE COMPANION VIDEO HERE: https://youtu.be/2zfv7Gl9P3U The Beatles' swansong, "Abbey Road," just hit #1 on the charts again... 50 years after its release! One major reason this album has become a cultural treasure is the beautiful "medley" heard on Side 2. But these songs and the way they were put together have a surprising history, one that we dig into in this video. (Perhaps stranger than the music's story is John Lennon's opinion of it...) This video is a collaboration with one of my favorite YouTube channels, You Can't Unhear This. The partner video is linked above. Shoutout to Ray - it's been a blast putting this together with you! Let's do it again sometime. A special thank you to Toazted and interviewer Koop Geersing for the kind permission to use a clip from their John Kurlander interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo6GwH1oCvE http://fabfourarchivist.com ___________ Gear I use to make my videos: Canon M50 camera: https://amzn.to/36oXkD3 Canon EF-M 22mm lens: https://amzn.to/35nXvNN Shure SM7B: https://amzn.to/2ZOkq3z Cloudlifter CL-1: https://amzn.to/2FhefLX Scarlett 2i2: https://amzn.to/2QN8QBP 2019 iMac: https://amzn.to/2MSCq7G ✌️🍏💛 HELP ME MAKE MORE VIDEOS: https://www.patreon.com/fabfourarchivist.
