We’ll present some tracks from top albums this week in 1969, starting with “Abbey Road.” Recorded off and on over six months, this starts out mellow but turns into one of the hardest-edged tunes the Beatles ever did. The long, long instrumental riff at the end gets rather intense. Lennon pushed for the abrupt ending, telling the engineer to literally slice the tape in the middle of a passage. Paul’s bass part is outrageous. John contributed white noise from a Moog synthesizer.
