The Beatles Final Five Albums
The Beatles last five albums were 1967’s Magical Mystery Tour, 1968’s The White Album, 1969’s Yellow Submarine and Abbey Road, and 1970’s Let It Be. Below you will find short overviews of each of these albums.
All of these albums are included in the Beatles Remastered Stereo Box Set and Magical Mystery Tour and The White Album are contained in the Beatles Mono Box Set.
Magical Mystery Tour (1967) – I would argue this is the band’s most underrated album and that’s probably because it’s not really an album from a purist’s POV so people have a difficult time giving it real respect for the excellent songs it contains. Magical Mystery Tour is The Beatles at their most purposefully psychedelic before they started to pull back the experimentation a little bit and as someone who loves psychedelia, that makes it an obvious favorite of mine.
The White Album (1968) – I’ve probably listened to this album more times than any other in my life. It does not flow as well as Abbey Road or Sgt. Pepper and you could certainly argue that it’s not as consistently great as Revolver or Rubber Soul but I love it because of the great variety of styles that it brings to my ears. This 30 song album is a real sprawling work of art.
Yellow Submarine (1969) – This “album” isn’t really a Fab Four album as it contains only four new songss that weren’t previously released on other albums. Yet “Hey Bulldog” and “It’s All Too Much” alone make it worth listening to.
Abbey Road (1969) – This 17 track album is the favorite of lots of Beatles fans and for many very good reasons. The most obvious is the wonderful “suite” of side two put together by Paul McCartney and George Martin. And of course there’s the classic songs like “Something,” “Come Together,” and “Oh! Darling.” This album is also the most smooth and most “modern” sound of their career.
Let It Be (1970) – The last Beatles album released but Abbey Road was actually the last album that was recorded. It’s a tad uneven by their very high standards but it still contains some legendary tracks like “Let It Be” and “Across The Universe.”
