admission of desire evokes their earliest, easiest sentiments and in a sense it established the album’s homecoming mood. That was all they had time to accomplish as a group for the next couple of months, as they went off to work on separate projects.
When the Beatles stuck to music, they were basically fine. When they had to turn their attention to other matters, particularly their troubled business situation, it was a disaster. Their advisers were at odds, and they were embroiled in a losing battle to regain control of their own work. McCartney touched on the subject in a new song, “You Never Give
Finally, more than four months after they’d started recording, the Beatles committed themselves to making a record for real, with George Martin, booking time at Abbey Road nearly every weekday in July and August. Lennon was absent for the first week of recording — he’d been injured in a car accident while traveling with Ono in Scotland.
McCartney’s songs dominated the medley, so he played the largest role in making it work. The Beatles took their first stab at the brief piece meant to wrap up the medley on July 23rd, and the next few days saw recordings of “Sun King,” “Mean Mr. Mustard,” “Polythene Pam” and “She Came in Through the Bathroom Window.” They still weren’t sure how the whole thing would fit together.
The album’s sequencing gave them another chance to wring meaning out of their final release. It was originally reversed from the sequence we know. Eventually, though, they decided Side One would close with the apocalyptic, chopped-off “I Want You ,” and Side Two would end with the big medley and its anti-coda, “Her Majesty.” Both sides of Abbey Road ended abruptly without resolution, and the band’s own ending was clearly coming — the only question was when.
Greatest Album Ever!!!
