To me, Here Comes The Sun is the height of Abby Road. That and Something brought out a creativity in the others that just makes them shine more brightly.

On a side note, have you gotten the Lost Beatles Albums? TONS of studio outtakes. The last release was like 30 albums worth. Someone released a couple of “lost album” boots and whereas a few songs (particularly the Budokan and Swedish concerts) have barely tolerable quality, most of the others sound excellent. Some have been released on the 50th anniversary box sets, and others were new to me. Bootleggers even put together 50th anniversary releases of the earlier albums that feature the songs being polished and reworded to their final form. Fascinating stuff, especially if you’re on a long drive. I found them on the newsgroups.

I agree with that. I think Lennon said Something was the best song on the album in his opinion. That's high praise from someone who wrote half the other songs, and one of the best songwriters in history.

Nah, I'm not much into stuff like that outside of maybe listening here or there to alternate takes on the Beatles Sirius channel. I do own the entire Beatles catalogue of songs (the "official" catalogue of 213 songs from their "core" albums...basically every official Beatles song minus Free As a Bird and Real Love, which were from Anthology) on vinyl though:

I got started when I bought some off of antiquetiger (dude who posts his garage sale finds on the OT), then filled in the gaps buying vinyls online. I actually am picking up a couple more Beatles albums from him today (With the Beatles since you can see in the picture that my cover for that one is fricked up, and the Beatles' Story album).

Since your talking about HCTS, see if you like this cover/reinterpretation by world-class pianist Peter Bence (the fastest pianist in the world who holds the world record for the most key hits in one minute—765!) You may not care for it, but I think it is an almost angelic cover.
