22 right.

 

And I don't know the Beatles' last album, and I don't care! I think it was Abbey Road, but it could have been Let It Be.

Who knows? Not me.

Ah, one of the great Beatlehead debates.

 

Of course the Let it Be tracks were laid down before the Abbey Road Album was done, in the "Get Back" sessions. But everybody goty to hating everybody else and they walked away from it and never mastered an album for release, realizing instead that if a split was inevitable then they need to go out with the big bang that was Abbey Road. After the break up, Lennon brought the not-yet-murderous Phil Specter in for some heavy-handed overproduction (admittedly, some tracks were pretty lean, but I tend to like that), and finally Let it Be came out as the last EMI studio release.

 

So the dilemma becomes what order do you listen to the albums in if you are listening chronologgically to the whole catalog as I tend to do quite often. I usually defer to chronological release order, although Abbey Road is certainly the exclamation mark at the end of the Beatles' run.

Oh, don't worry about it, fire away when the opportunity arises.

I have "embraced" and "taken ownership of" my stupidity, so it doesn't embarrass me at all.

I'm "mentally handiCAPABLE".
