Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Original Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer — and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

The most immaculately produced and most tightly constructed Beatles album... A fitting swan song for the group, echoing some of the faux-conceptual forms of Sgt. Pepper, but featuring stronger compositions and more rock-oriented ensemble work. The group was still pushing forward in all facets of its art, whether devising some of the greatest harmonies to be heard on any rock record (especially on “Because”), constructing a medley of songs/vignettes that covered much of side two, adding subtle touches of Moog synthesizer, or crafting furious guitar-heavy rock (“The End,” “I Want You (She’s So Heavy),” “Come Together”). George Harrison also blossomed into a major songwriter, contributing the buoyant “Here Comes the Sun” and the supremely melodic ballad “Something,” the latter of which became the first Harrison-penned Beatles hit. Whether Abbey Road is the Beatles’ best work is debatable, but it’s certainly the most immaculately produced and most tightly constructed.

One of the finest albums ever recorded -- truly a classic LP in every sense of the word! ‘Abbey Road’ was the last album that the Beatles recorded together before splitting up in 1970 and going on to their own respective solo careers. They certainly went out on a brilliant note, as ‘Abbey Road’ is easily one of the finest albums ever recorded and contains many classic Beatles songs. John Lennon’s hard-rocking, “Come Together” and “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” make a very strong impression while the timelessly beautiful “Something” and “Here Comes The Sun” were penned by George Harrison. A series of song fragments edited together in suite form dominates side two; its portentous, touching, official close (“Golden Slumbers” / “Carry That Weight” / “The End”) is nicely undercut, in typical Beatles fashion, by Paul McCartney’s cheeky “Her Majesty”, which follows. ‘Abbey Road’ is truly a classic album in every sense of the word!
