Does anybody feel like certain Beatles albums were sort of ruined by an ending that was unnecessary? For example the Inner Groove in Sgt. Pepper. You hear that final E chord fade away and you feel satisfied with a masterpiece, then you hear some nonsense that kind of ruins a sense of completion. Also with Abbey Road, Her Majesty ends the album, which isn't as bad in my opinion, but it kind of ruins Paul's last line on the last Beatles album "And in the End the love you take is equal to the love you make" which could have been a very beautiful ending to the Beatles catalog, but then a crash and then comes Her Majesty...

Yes, with Abbey Road i do. The album has that wonderful medley & finishes with
The End, which is just so perfect. and then we get this quite ridicolous ditty at the end Her
Majesty. there was a acetate with Her Majesty being sloted between Mean Mr Mustard &
Polythene Pam which i think would have sounded much better but for some strange
reason it appered on the end of the album. and to this day we've never wondered why they
did that. It can be funny but also quite annoying!



HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY TO THE WHITE ALBUM! you say its your birthday!

i really enjoy the endings... the sgt pepper's ending is on the lp fun because it repeats itself all the time... on cd this effect is of course not there anymore so it doesn't make any sense anymore... (did it ever make sense? well...) anyway... i like it on vinyl
and her majesty is one of my faovurite beatle-songs... short but sweet... and a lovely ending for abbey road in my opinion.... otherwise the end would be too... majestetic.... this one gives you a little smile afterwards before everything is over and everyone goes home... i love it. and i usually put it on the end of mixtapes i make too.
i think dizzy miss lizzy is a bit out of place... even though i really like the song
well... and i always stop listening to the white album after cry baby cry... so i don't like the ending of the white album i guess ^^

It just doesn't belong there...
After Sun King and before Mean Mr. Mustard would be better I think

Oh yeah also, did anybody else think that on Memory Almost Full, that Nod Your Head could have fit anywhere in the middle of the album, and not the end? Call me stupid, but I thought that The End of The End should have been the end of the album.

I never understood that nonsense at the end of Sgt. Pepper's, the same with Abbey Road.

well, macca said that he wanted to put Nod Your Head at the end as he thought
he would leave people feeling slightly depressed after the End of the End (which is
a song about death )

I like 'Nod Your Head' at the end of MOF. I like the abrupt ending to it and it also leaves you with a little happier feeling.

It was taken out of the medley to be discarded, but as EMI never throw anything out, the tape op. stuck it on the end. It was never intended to be used - hence the gap, but when Paul heard it he liked it and decided to leave it there. Actually, I like it too.

The Sgt. Pepper thing doesn't work at all on the CD.

Dizzy Miss Lizzy is a poor ending to Help! As is Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby on Beatles For Sale. But then that's quite a poor album anyway, IMO.


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
