History
The Beatles’ last-recorded album was a triumph. Coming after the difficult Let It Be sessions, the group pulled together for Abbey Road; a final collection of songs that rank among their best. It is commonly thought that The Beatles knew that Abbey Road would be their final album and wanted to present a fitting farewell to the world. However the group members denied that they intended to split after its completion, despite a realization that their time together was drawing to a close.

Abbey Road was completed on August 25, 1969, almost a month before John Lennon told the other Beatles that he wished to leave the group. His decision was made on September 12, just before The Plastic Ono Band performed at The Toronto Rock and Roll Revival Festival and he told the rest of the group at a meeting a week later. The album was recorded at a time when The Beatles’ Apple empire was fast unraveling, with vast quantities of money being hemorrhaged by bad business decisions and a lack of direction. The controversial business manager Allen Klein was moving in to gain control of The Beatles’ affairs, despite Paul McCartney’s best efforts of resistance.
