The »The End« guitar solos or "how to subtly show your love by playing guitar together, when talking about problems is apparently not a possibility" Quotes by Geoff Emerick, sound engineer and record producer: 'I know!' he (John) said mischievously, unwilling to let it go. 'Why don't we all play the solo? We can take turns and trade licks.' Long guitar solos with dueling lead guitarists were becoming the vogue at the time, so it was a suggestion that clearly had merit. George (Martin) looked dubious, but Paul not only embraced the idea but upped the ante further still: 'Better yet,' he said, 'why don't all three of us play it live?' Lennon loved the idea – for the first time in weeks I saw a real gleam in his eye. It didn't take long for John's enthusiasm to rub off on George Harrison, who finally got into the spirit of things. John, Paul and George looked like they had gone back in time, like they were kids again, playing together for the sheer enjoyment of it. More than anything, they reminded me of gunslingers, with their guitars strapped on, looks of steely-eyed resolve, determined to outdo one another. Yet there was no animosity, no tension at all – you could tell they were simply having fun. The order was Paul first, then George, then John, and they went back and forth. They ran down their ideas a few times and before you knew it, they were ready to go. Their amps were lined up together and we recorded their parts on one track. You could really see the joy in their faces as they played; it was like they were teenagers again. One take was all we needed. The musical telepathy between them was mind-boggling. Incredibly, after just a brief period of rehearsal, they nailed it in a single take. When it was over, there was no backslapping or hugging – The Beatles rarely expressed themselves physically like that – but there were lots of broad grins. I guess there's also the possibility that, as they were performing the solo, they realized they might never get to play together again; perhaps they were viewing that moment as a poignant farewell. It was the first time in a long time that the three of them were actually playing together in the studio.

The Beaturtles - Crabbey Road
Tumblr media
Lately, squid kids and grownups alike have started to appreciate a band that flourished back in the old days! I’m sure plenty of folk consider them one of the greatest classic rock bands…
Anyways, happy 54th Anniversary to Abbey Road by The Beatles. I thought it would be fun to turn them into a splatband!
Do you like fish puns? I put my entire brain into naming and deciding what creature they should be…

Tommy Nutter on dressing John, Paul, and Ringo for the cover...
“Tommy Nutter dressed three out of the four Beatles for the Abbey Road album cover. True to his non-conformist roots, George Harrison opted to dress in denim.” - The Selvedge Yard, April 4, 2012
“Well, I dressed them. George Harrison is wearing denim — he was always a tricky bugger.” - Tommy Nutter to Timothy Everest, quoted in Yorkshire Post, October 31, 2015
For George and Mal, it was then on to Regent’s Park Zoo...
“[After the photo session] George and Mal [Evans] went to visit the Regent’s Park Zoo. They spent several hours wandering around the cages and animal houses and afterwards walked around Regent’s Park. The extraordinary thing was that during the whole morning absolutely no one recognized George Harrison. Perhaps there are so many similar haircuts in London these days that no one spares a second glance for anyone with long locks.” - The Beatles Book, September 1969

“I didn’t know at the time that it [Abbey Road] was the last Beatle record that we would make, but it felt as if we were reaching the end of the line.” - George Harrison, The Beatles Anthology

one of my favourite john and paul moments has to be this iteration of oh! darling it’s beyond insane .. the way john starts to sing “i’ll never let you down” before paul has even incorporated it into the song and cuts himself off midway … the way it literally turns into a call and response duet where john interjects “believe me when i tell you” with “oh i do!” ….. the way he starts mirroring paul’s vocal inflections and then the absolute pointed MELODRAMAAAA of him bringing in yoko’s divorce being finalised … paul interweaving “please believe me i’ll never do you no harm” into john singing ……….. it’s all a bit too much for me sometimes i can’t even believe this is the most famous band in the world with endless scholarship surrounding them and yet the surface of their absolute insane dynamic is barely being scratched
honestly ​no wonder michael lindsay hogg wrote fanfiction about them . like imagine sitting through this and having everyone around them not a blink an eye just be like Yeah this is normal for them . you would have to commit me i couldn’t take it to the grave

Paul McCartney takes off his sandals to walk across asphalt "because it's hot," which makes NO sense.
