The Beatles' swansong, "Abbey Road," just hit #1 on the charts again... 50 years after its release! One major reason this album has become a cultural treasure is the beautiful "medley" heard on Side 2. But these songs and the way they were put together have a surprising history, one that we dig into in this video. (Perhaps stranger than the music's story is John Lennon's opinion of it...)

This video is a collaboration with one of my favorite YouTube channels, You Can't Unhear This. The partner video is linked above. Shoutout to Ray - it's been a blast putting this together with you! Let's do it again sometime.

A special thank you to Toazted and interviewer Koop Geersing for the kind permission to use a clip from their John Kurlander interview:    • John Kurlander | 2009 | Toazted
