Abbey Sings Abbey - Abbey Lincoln

Advantages: Upbeat, mellow and sad songs all in one great CD
Disadvantages: None!

...The Beatles have always been the band everyone has been mad about. When it used to be played on radios, admit it, didn't you sing along? I've been a fan for a few years now and was delighted when my uncle gave me this as a birthday present. I think it must have cost at the least £15 which is brilliant for 27 rocking tunes! This is the best songs produced by The Beatles all on this CD. On the CD is says exactly the same like on the front. The small manuscript/guide has an artistic picture of each individual Beatle. On the inside are all the pictures of all the records they sold. Below is all the info you probably need that I found on a website but I have added some of my own points to it too!

...The last Beatles album to be recorded (although Let It Be was the last to be released), Abbey Road was a fitting swan song for the group, echoing some of the faux-conceptual forms of Sgt. Pepper, but featuring stronger compositions and more rock-oriented ensemble work. The group were still pushing forward in all facets of their art, whether devising some of the greatest harmonies to be heard on any rock record (especially on "Because"), constructing a medley of songs/vignettes that covered much of side two, adding subtle touches of Moog synthesizer, or crafting furious guitar-heavy rock ("The End," "I Want You (She's So Heavy)," "Come Together"). George Harrison also blossomed into a major songwriter, contributing the buoyant "Here Comes the Sun" and the supremely melodic ballad "Something," the latter of which became the first Harrison...
