In January 1969, the Beatles abandoned the familiar confines of EMI
Studios on Abbey Road by rehearsing at Twickenham Film Studios and
recording an album's worth of songs in the basement and on the roof
of Apple's Sevile Row headquarters. 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.

were written and recorded. The chapters also detail how the records
were marketed and contain sales and chart information. The book has
chapters on the history of EMI and Parlophone Records, how records
are mastered and manufactured, how EMI contracted with other record
companies to press Beatles singles and albums to help meet demand,
British radio and record charts in the sixties and other
record-related topics. The book has over 700 illustrations, all in
either color or original black and white.
