The Beatles began recording sessions with three different producers—Glyn Johns, George Martin, and Chris Thomas alternating at the helm. After this erratic start to the year, the group decided it was time to get back to where they once belonged. That July, the Beatles returned to Abbey Road, where seven years earlier they had their first recording session with George Martin. The band recaptured the magic and camaraderie that was missing during the January sessions, and the resulting album, Abbey Road, quickly topped the charts in both the UK and the US. Although the group’s January 1969 recordings would eventually be issued on Let It Be in May 1970, Abbey Road would be the last album recorded by the Beatles. This latest book in Bruce Spizer’s Beatles album series covers all of the records released by the Beatles in 1969, from “Get Back” onward. Bruce Spizer has written eight critically acclaimed Beatles books, including The Beatles Records on Vee-Jay, The Beatles’ Story on Capitol Records, The Beatles on Apple Records, and The Birth of Beatlemania in America. He has appeared on several national television programs (ABC’s Good Morning America, CBS’s Early Show, CNN, and Fox National News) and radio programs (NPR, ABC, BBC) as a Beatles expert and has given presentations in such venues as the Grammy Museum, the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, and Beatles conventions in the United States and Liverpool. Bruce serves a consultant on Beatles projects for Universal Music Group, Capitol records, and Apple Corps, Ltd.
