The Beatles final five albums were 1967’s Magical Mystery Tour, 1968’s The White Album, 1969’s Yellow Submarine and Abbey Road, and 1970’s Let It Be. Below you can read short reviews of each of them.
All five of these classic albums are contained in the Remastered Beatles Stereo Box Set but just Magical Mystery Tour and The White Album are included in the Beatles Mono Box Set.
Magical Mystery Tour (1967) – I think this is an underrated album and I suppose that’s at least partly because it is not really a true album so some people have a difficult time giving it respect for the excellent songs on it. Magical Mystery Tour is The Beatles at their most purposefully psychedelic before they started to pull it back a bit and as someone who loves trippy music, that makes it an obvious favorite of mine.
The White Album (1968) – My all time favorite album by anyone. No, it doesn’t flow as well as Abbey Road or Sgt. Pepper and one could argue that it is not as consistently outstanding as Rubber Soul or Revolver are but I love it for the huge variety of music that it brings to my ears. This double album is a true sprawling work of art.
Yellow Submarine (1969) – This “album” isn’t really a Fab Four album because it includes only four Beatles recordingss that weren’t previously released on other albums. Yet “Hey Bulldog” and “It’s All Too Much” alone make it worth listening to.
Abbey Road (1969) – The favorite album of many Beatles fans and for many very good reasons. The most obvious reason is the fantastic “suite” of side two. And of course there are the classic songs like “Something,” “Come Together,” and “Here Comes The Sun.” This album also features the most smooth and most “modern” sounding production of The Beatles career.
Let It Be (1970) – This was the final LP released but Abbey Road was the final Beatles album to be recorded. It is a bit messy by their standards but it does still includes some classic tracks like “Let It Be” and “The Long and Winding Road.”

British rock bands through the years
British rock bands have played a major musical in addition to cultural part in the development of rock and roll during the last five decades.
From the Beatles to The Smiths, from Led Zeppelin to Radiohead, british rock groups are among the most influential in addition to revolutionary, and beloved artists ever to play a tune.
The history of british rock groups truly starts with the Beatles. The band’s opening incarnation was in 1957, when then sixteen year old John Lennon and some youngster friends determined to create a band. A month later Lennon met then fifteen year aged Paul McCartney and invited him to join. Several months subsequently, McCartney invited fourteen year old George Harrison to join, and the genesis of the Beatles was complete.
They ended up writing songs and singing concerts under numerous different names, including several pretty bad ones in the vein of “John and the Moondogs.” Finally Lennon’s lad friends decided to depart the ensemble for varsity, and Lennon, McCartney and Harrison were left as a trio who would play gigs every time they could locate a drummer.
They finally found a lasting drummer in Pete Best, and added a bassist named Stuart Sutcliffe. About that point they established upon the name the Beatles and stage two of the saga of by far the most illustrious of british rock groups was complete.
As that quintet they played gigs both in their motherland of Liverpool along with in Hamburg, Germany. When Harrison was deported for being juvenile, with Lennon and Best soon next for a liquor-fueled combustible clash, Sutcliffe decided to stay behind with his fiance and the quintet went back to a quartet.
After a bit Best was changed by Ringo Starr – this was in late 1961/early 1962 – and the Beatles were at this time total. triumph song and triumph single after hit track and success release followed, and the British invasion was launched.
British rock bands of all kinds quickly followed in the Beatles’ wake. Perhaps the best well-known (after the Beatles, needless to say) were and continue to be the the Rolling Stones. The Stones fashioned themselves after great southern bluesmen like Muddy Waters and trialled a more forcefully bluesy style, heavy on distortion and power chords, than the Beatles did. Also coming out of Britain subsequently were The Who, a pop group which in many ways originated two subgenres of rock: Punk rock and progressive rock. They were also the 1st of the british rock bands to make destroying the podium throughout the performance a virtual art form.

The Beatles aren’t a “just the hits” type of band. You can not get just Beatles 1 and be done with the lads from Liverpool. I believe most of their greatest recordings were not their biggest hits but instead were their more experimental tracks such as “Tomorrow Never Knows.”
To truly get a feel for The Beatles incredibly influential music you must hear their LPs as a whole instead of only hearing a song here and a song there. I’m not alone in believing that the Fab Four recorded many of the most important rock albums ever and even their lesser albums (like 1963’s With The Beatles) have quite a few good tracks.
That’s why I believe it’s such a great idea to Buy The Remastered Beatles in Stereo Box Set. The stereo box set contains every single LP (and every non-album track with the Past Masters double CD set) that the band recorded and released during the 60s.
It has pretty much all of their CDs except for Live at the BBC CDs and the three Anthology sets. I think this makes sense since those releases are not included as a part of the “official catalog” of the band. These extras are kind of like the “extras” on a DVD while the original releases are the feature movie.
There are a few more of their CDs that are not included, one of them being the 1999 release of a CD called Yellow Submarine Songtrack that is completely different from the 1969 Yellow Submarine LP. It is actually much better in my opinion and worth hearing because of it’s alternate mixes (it’s actually remixed, not just remastered.) Let It Be… Naked and Love are also not included.
Along with The Beatles Stereo Box Set, I also recommend that you Buy The Beatles Mono Box Set which includes the the mono versions of their songs up through 1968. It’s difficult to understand today, but when the “Fab Four” were mixing their albums they thought the mono mixes to be of far more importance than the stereo versions up until around the time of The White Album.
