Abbey Road - Beatles (The) (Cassette 1987)

Lambchops decided to host a music W/O and had the bad taste to actually invite me! I always suspected she was a tad warped..now I have proof! So, this W/O is to be the first album we ever owned. Thank gawd it was the Beatles in my case..this could have been very embarassing... now I'll come off looking like I have taste. heh. So.. let see here.

Abbey Road was the last album ever recorded by the greatest band of all time, the Beatles.

Abbey Road, released on September 26, 1969, was the last album recorded by the Beatles, and although Let It Be hit the shelves in 1970, that album was recorded before Abbey Road.
