The Beatles

I became a Beatles fan with only the Red and Blue though my childhood and then a copy of the Sgt Pepper's film soundtrack (lol yes I know). But when my best friend had his 18th birthday in 1985 I was determined to buy him a Beatles album and presented a new vinyl copy of Abbey Road.

We sat in his room and listened to the album. We'd heard the popular songs and traded cassettes of other songs from the album. But it was the first time we'd heard many of the tracks and were stunned and delighted.

Now, that 1985-ish vinyl pressing has a distinct gap between "She Came In Through the Bathroom Window" and "Golden Slumbers". And my later cassette and CD copy did too. So I've always considered it two separate medleys.

But now every time I see a review or discussion article it speaks of "The Abbey Road Medley" as a single combined track.

I see (and hear) it as Medley part 1 and 2.

What's your opinion?
