“Abbey Road” Side 2 Medley

Yesterday we spoke about when multiple songs should be played as a unit. The 15-minute-plus medley that closes side 2 of “Abbey Road” can be separated into its eight individual tracks (nine if you count “Her Majesty”) but it would sound choppy and disjointed. They deserve to be listened to as one. All were song fragments that the Beatles decided could be combined seamlessly. Here’s a 2009 remastered version of “The Long One” (the medley’s working title), with “Her Majesty” back in its original place before Paul had it edited out. We’ll follow up with some short blurbs and a link for each track. Stand by for a bunch of posts today.
