Abbey Road Medley
Listener’s Note: Okay, I’m cheating here, just a little bit!
It is hard to pick just a few great songs by the Beatles!
And these songs have always seemed to me to flow together; so instead of just one song these are all the songs that appeared on the second side of the original vinyl album; as follows You Never Give Me Your Money, Sun King, Mean Mr. Mustard, Polythene Pam, She Came in Through The Bathroom Window, Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight, The End & Her Majesty
So here is the medley!
From The Album: Abbey Road (1969)

*There are short clips of the Beatles playing on the Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964, but none of them shows the group playing a full song – at least not on YouTube; thus, the clips of the three songs they played on the Ed Sullivan show, are the right songs – but different versions.

Have a great weekend,
