The Beatles' last-recorded album, Abbey Road, was originally titled Everest – not after the mountain, but rather the brand of cigarettes. Even so, on some level the band was thinking of the album as their pinnacle. This presentation discusses and analyzes Abbey Road song by song, citing musical precedents and inspirations, and showing how the songs developed and evolved through clips from early takes and discarded drafts.
