1969. Save for a few re-recordings, editing sessions and the new song "I Me Mine," which came out on “Let it Be,” “Abbey Road” was the Beatles’ last album to be recorded before Paul announced the group's separation on April 10th, 1970, nine days after "I Me Mine" was recorded.
Jane Asher. Jane Asher, Paul McCartney’s girlfriend and fiancé throughout much of the sixties, was rumored to have walked in front of the camera, which made the cameraman yell at her. She was said to have done this because she was angry at Paul because of his recent marriage to Linda Eastman.
Something. The 1969 single “Something” / “Come Together” was the first George Harrison single to reach #1 since “Taxman” in 1966 (if anyone has more information on the "Taxman" single, don't hesitate to e-mail me).
1. The first was the White Album’s “Don’t Pass Me By” in 1968.
14. At 7 minutes 47 seconds, this John Lennon song, written for Yoko Ono, only contains the words "I," "want," "you," "so," "bad," "know," "it's," "driving," "me," "mad," "she's," "heavy," "babe" and "yeah."
In a garden. George wrote this song while “sitting in an English garden” owned by Eric Clapton.
3. John, Paul, and George recorded their voices for “Because” once. Those tapes were triple-tracked for the song’s outstanding harmony vocals. Listen to it without instruments on “Anthology 3.”
Louis XIV. The second of two Abbey Road songs whose first words are “here comes the sun.” Great guitar.
Shirley. “His sister Shirley works in the shop…” This version, recorded in 1968, was featured on “Anthology 3.” Her name was changed to fit in with the next song, “Polythene Pam.” To American ears, it may sound like “Shelley.”
Police officer. “And so I quit the police department and got myself a steady job.” The woman in the story was a dancer.
His half-sister Ruth. Paul’s younger half-sister Ruth McCartney had a children’s book in which most of the lyrics (written by Thomas Dekker) were written. Paul added a verse in order to be credited as an author.
You Never Give Me Your Money. Paul interrupts Ringo and sings a verse not included in “You Never Give Me Your Money.” It begins "I never give you my pillow."
Drum solo. Ringo performed the drum solo in “The End.” He didn’t initially want to, but the rest of the Beatles persuaded him. “The love you take is equal to the love you make.” –Paul McCartney
Everest. They wanted to call the White Album “A Doll’s House,” the film “A Hard Day’s Night” “Beatlemania,” and the working title of “I Want to Tell You” was “Laxton’s Superb.” The Beatles wanted to call “Abbey Road” “Everest” after engineer Geoff Emerick’s favorite brand of cigarettes. They wanted to fly to Mount Everest and have their picture taken in front of the mountain, but they were too mad at each other to have their cover photo taken farther than down Abbey Road, the street on which their recording studio was located. Thanks for playing!
George Harrison. This is one of the most beautiful love songs of all time. George Harrison wrote it for his wife Pattie Harrison. Sadly George was not given the proper credit when Frank Sinatra credited it to Lennon/McCartney.

Her Majesty. "Good Night" was not even on "Abbey Road". The Beatles did not want their fans to think this was their last album because, in fact, they were not even sure if it was. So they ended up using "Her Majesty" instead of "The End".
