    Amazing stuff!!! I got a fuzzy feeling inside seeing some of the AB pics, especially the ones showing the guys smiling and having a good time in the studio! Priceless!!!:righton:

    Wonderful. Why Apple don't put out a deluxe book with the sessions?
    I think it'd be a nice souvenir.

    PS: not in a box, please - and with an worldwide release like the Anthology book.

    I'm rather enjoying the mic placements here; two on the kick and one on the underside of EVERYTHING :p must be for the "The End" drum session.

    Thanks for sharing! It's nice to see George and Paul so happy together, isn't it? These photos really do give the impression that the boys gave it one last try before calling it quits.

    I'm sure that the Beatles didn't break up due musical differences. But for money and Alen Klein is the one to blame.
    I've always tried to guess which song they were recording based on the picture. Maybe rehearsing harmonies for Here Comes The Sun?

    He's got his small toms actually mounted on the bass drum as well. Every other picture/film I've seen has them on their own stand.

    It looks like the Moog was set up in a storage room? I can see the striped conga drums that Ringo used on the Sgt. Pepper sessions.

    That last one was the orchestra recording/overdub session for 'Something' in case anyone was wondering.

    Amazing collection, thanks for posting them, OP.
