Sun King is the perfect start for the "side b epic".

That song put the indulgent in "self-indulgent". Also the ending for "I Want You" goes. on. too. long. Some editing there would have been nice... or a cool solo on top of the droning.

In the side b epic, I really wanted the jams to go longer before "The End", they just cut out too soon. Maybe if they had junked "Sun King", they would have had more time for Harrison laying down the licks.

My best argument is i disagree. Abbey Road is perfect the way it is. The build-up of She's So Heavy is superb.

Lol, now you're doing this to me:

:buhbye:

Point taken, and, honestly, I love that album so much, I just put up with the parts that I want to "fix". I suppose "Here Comes the Sun" is so awesome, I can forgive just about anything within 5 songs of it. :)

Getting closer to the right time of year for that one too.

Written in Eric Claptons garden on an ukulele, not long before Clapton got together with Patty Boyd. Something in the way she moves, indeed... :P

Wow, that's an interesting bit about the ukelele. I had to go find a cover of HCTS on ukelele...

Found it, not half bad at all. The "Badge" chord progression sounds just fine, too.

If memory serves right, George and Paul plays it on ukes in the extras for the Anthology series. Ofcourse not to be found on 'tube...

Here's a trashing of Abbey Road from Rolling Stone... I'm really liking the bad review site!

Quote
The Beatles
Abbey Road (1969)

Rating: Unfavorable
"What's it like? Well, I don't much like it, but then I have a thing about the Beatles. Since Revolver I've been buying their albums, playing them a couple of times, and then forgetting about them. The last album was, admittedly, exciting in places, but I still don't play it much because there's still too much stuff on it that should have been edited...Of course, the Beatles are still the Beatles, but it does tread a rather tenuous line between boredom, Beatledom, and bubblegum...

...Side two is a disaster...The slump begins with 'Because', which is a rather nothing song...the biggest bomb on the album is 'Sun King', which overflows with sixth and ninth chords and finally degenerates into a Muzak-sounding thing with Italian lyrics. It is probably the worst thing the Beatles have done since they changed drummers. This leads into the 'Suite' which finishes up the side. There are six little songs, each slightly under two minutes long, all of which are so heavily overproduced that they are hard to listen to...

...It is tempting to think that the Beatles are saying with this album that the only alternative to 'getting back' for them is producing more garbage on this order, and that they have priced it so outrageously so that fewer people would buy it. But if that's so, then why bother to release it at all? They must realize that any album they choose to release is going to get a gold record just because so many people love, respect and trust the Beatles. They've been shucking us a lot recently, and it's a shame because they don't have to. Surely they must have enough talent and intelligence to do better than this. Or do they? Tune in next time and find out." (Ed Ward, 11/15/69 Review)

^^^  :doh: :doh: :doh:

He even begins with saying "i don't like the Beatles since they started experimenting"... Talk about biased review. Gonzo journalism at it's best. And worst...

When you think about it, The Beatles had a lot of songs that were too rock for country back then, but are now too country for rock... and even too country for country!

Beatles White Album 50th anniversary is amazing. The Esher demos are worth the price!
