Even though it's said to be the last album that the Beatles recorded, I believe it was the first one that I bought. The famous picture on the cover of "Abbey Road" was taken on August 8th, 1969.
The first hit that I can remember from the album was "Come Together", but maybe the most enduring song was George Harrison's "Something".
Both Abbey Road and the later released Beatle album, "Let It Be", contained song titles that in retrospect, suggested that the days of the Beatles as a music recording entity were coming to an end.
