Abbey Road Anniversary (1LP)

The 50th anniversary edition of the Beatles final & in my opinion finest album. The extra songs on the SuperDeluxe editions are just a wonderful insight into the Beatles music making process. Wish they also offered those extra recordings at a lower price without fancy packaging for Beatles fans who aren't super rich. The packaging of the BluRay/CD SuperDeluxe edition is fantastic & absolutely worth it for wealthy collectors, but there are lots of other fans who aren't wealthy & would love to have these additional recordings in a physical format (LP, CD, BluRay, etc) so as to listen to them whenever they want to even decades later (I still listen to stuff purchased decades ago), it would have been nice to see such editions available at a more affordable rate with basic packaging. The remainder of this review pertains to the 50th anniversary edition of the Beatles Abbey Road in LP format (Vinyl) . I find the sound of this edition a bit too extra 'refined/polished' compared to the various previous editions I've owned over the decades. But it gives us a new way to appreciate this fantastic final album of arguably the worlds best band, you notice new details in songs that weren't noticeable before. The Vinyl version I have can be on the quieter side if your turntable isn't well calibrated as I noticed it's volume is very sensitive to how the turntables tonearm & catrige is calibrated. It's the only Vinyl I've owned that seems to be so sensitive.... get that balance right with your turntable & the sound from this LP is fantastic get that balance (tonearm calibration) wrong with your turntable & the sound output is much lower.

Amazon delivery done through Blue Dart courier and packaging was good. Received it before the ETA. Can't explain the Joy while playing this record. No scratches, no warping and with polythene wrap.

The pressing was fine and there's no point in talking about the album, one of all time great. Happy with the purchase

Was first skeptical to purchase it based on the various reviews complaining of a warped or scratched record and yet I took a chance. And to my surprise, the record was in perfect condition. It sounded almost nearly perfect with crisp vocals and one can even hear Paul's bass pretty loud and clear. If you're having doubts just like I did in the first place, do no worry a bit and go for it. Definitely worth the price.

I bought the Abbey Road vinyl from Amazon and the sound quality is excellent. A perfect album by The Beatles with clear, warm analog sound. The vinyl pressing and cover quality are very good. A must-have for every vinyl lover and classic rock fan. 🎵

Znakomity produkt.

Ter a edição de aniversário do Abbey Road em vinil é uma experiência obrigatória para qualquer amante da música. A remasterização traz uma clareza absurda, permitindo ouvir detalhes nos instrumentos que passavam despercebidos. Quanto à logística, a entrega da Amazon foi ok: o disco chegou bem protegido em embalagem reforçada, com a capa intacta e dentro do cronograma previsto. Curiosidades e destaques inseridos na obra: • O "Canto do Cisne": Embora Let It Be tenha sido lançado depois, Abbey Road foi o último álbum gravado pelos Beatles, capturando a banda em um momento de brilhantismo técnico impecável antes da separação. • O Mistério da Capa: A foto na faixa de pedestres é talvez a mais famosa do mundo. Uma curiosidade é que a rua precisou ser fechada por apenas 10 minutos para o fotógrafo Iain Macmillan tirar seis fotos, sendo a escolhida a única em que todos estão em passo sincronizado. • Inovação com o Moog: Este foi um dos primeiros álbuns de rock a utilizar o sintetizador Moog de forma proeminente, dando aquele som futurista a faixas como "Because" e "Maxwell's Silver Hammer". • O Lado B Icônico: O "Medley" do lado B é considerado por muitos críticos como uma das maiores sequências musicais já gravadas, fluindo perfeitamente até o encerramento em "The End". Este vinil não é apenas música, é um documento histórico que merece ser apreciado com a fidelidade que só o formato analógico proporciona. Sua coleção de vinis é fenomenal! D
