It was the last LP released by The Beatles as a group, although it was recorded before Abbey Road. Released in the UK, the album was released on May 8, 1970. It is a controversial album from its conception: once they stopped playing live in 1966 due to the impossibility of capturing their music on stage, the Beatles set out to record an album to play one last live concert, perhaps on a boat or in a public place.
Therefore, the recording sessions for the album (which at the time was called Get Back, alluding to the return to the group’s rock and roll roots) began to be filmed, in 1969, by filmmaker Michael Lindsay-Hogg. The rehearsals were tense, with constant arguments between the members of the group, which since their previous albums showed a worse and more hostile coexistence between them. In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked it 86th on its list of the 500 best albums of all time.
