They also decide that they will create a documentary about how the band prepares for the aforementioned concert. The result of the recording cameras and bad relations between the four musicians in the studio, as well as the uncomfortable presence of Yoko Ono and the little interest shown by John Lennon in the project, result in tense sessions full of hostility, which will result in the resignation of George Harrison. Later there is a change of study and Harrison himself takes up the work (accompanied by Billy Preston) and things softened in part, however in reality he continued to be conflict, to such an extent that the tapes were mixed and rejected several times, finally Lennon he commissioned producer Phil Spector to edit and produce the album (Not without McCartney's rejection, who saw his idea of an album amputated without so much study work).
In general terms, this album can be considered a worthy farewell to a group that shaped popular music as we know it today.
The band's rooftop concert at Abbey Road Studios will be a memorable moment to remember.
"Revolver" meant the most experimental album by The Beatles until a year later "Sgt. Peppers ..." appeared, it was also a more rock album, where the creativity of Lennon and McCartney and to a lesser extent Harrison, risked in their most creative side.
Become one of the most important albums of psychedelic, a musical genre in which they knew how to move with authority and sufficiency.

An album that demonstrated the greatness of these four musicians who were key pieces for the future of music.
In 1968, The Beatles reached their peak with their double album "The Beatles", often popularly referred to as the "White Album". On this new album, the Fab Four returned to basics, moving away from the psychedelic music and complexities of their previous and monumental "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". Starting with its minimalist cover, this album features the rawest rock they ever recorded, "Helter Skelter", considered by many to be the seed of modern heavy metal. Furthermore, it boasts a dazzling array of styles, ranging from rock and roll to country, jazz, avant-garde, progressive rock, pop, experimental, and hard rock. With such iconic songs as “Back In the USSR”, “Wild Honey Pie”, “Happiness Is A Warm Gun”, “Sexy Sadie”, “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”, “Blackbird”, “Long Long Long”, “Revolution”, “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da”, “Rocky Raccoon”, “Julia” or “Martha My Dear”, The Beatles demonstrated that even near the end of their career, they were capable of producing a large number of brilliant, catchy and consistent songs and wrapping them all up in a single work, which is one of the masterpieces of rock music of all time.
In 1965 The Beatles were already at the peak of world popularity, their albums "Please Please Me", "With the Beatles", "A Hard Day's Night", "Beatles for Sale" and "Help", had reaped a unprecedented success in popular music, however all these albums were a kind of compilation of hits and hit songs.
With "Rubber Soul" the band takes a qualitative leap and becomes the first organic work as an entity, something much more than a compilation of successful singles.
The folk and acoustic ambience of "Norwegian Wood" shows the impact Bob Dylan had left on Lennon and McCartney.
On the other hand, "Think for Yourself" and "If i Needed Someone" by George Harrison evidenced the influence of Ravi Shankar and eastern philosophies.
In this album The Beatles were no longer content with being the numbers one with hit songs but also being the first to chart new horizons.
The palette of sounds on this album is the least astonishing, from the melodic "Michelle" and "Girl", to the aggressiveness of "Drive my Car" or "Run for Your Life, passing through the surprising and hypnotic" Nowhere Man ".
Undoubtedly a historical record, like so many others from the Liverpool quartet.
"Abbey Road" was the last great published Beatles masterpiece and a great way to say goodbye to the world of music through the front door.
An album where they mixed their most popular style with rock and the most complex and conceptual aspect that they had already done with "Sgt Pepper´s ..."
An album as solid as it is outstanding, with an impeccable production and tremendous creativity, and where George Harrison showed that he was an emerging genius with jewels such as "Something" and "Here Comes The Sun", two of The Beatles' great songs from all its history.
Lennon's tremendous "Come Together", the hypnotic "Maxwell's Silver Hammer", the great "Oh Darling", both by McCartney, the extensive and psychedelic "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" by Lennon, or the rock "Octopus's Garden" by Ringo Starr are the hotspots of a devastating album that even today amazes those who listen to it.
With "Magical Mystery Tour", The Beatles' ninth album, the group returned to a slightly more accessible sound, though elements of psychedelia and avant-garde remained. With a repertoire composed primarily by Paul McCartney and John Lennon, McCartney contributed the more conventional melodies, while Lennon provided the experimental moments, balancing McCartney's commercial appeal with his signature addictive pop. The duo created an album brimming with intelligent compositions and brilliant arrangements, in which George Harrison's guitar and Ringo Starr's drums are partially overshadowed by the keyboards and wind instruments that take center stage. Songs like the melancholic "Fool on the Hill", the exotic "Blue Jay Way", the pop hit "Your Mother Should Know", the brilliant "I Am the Walrus", the iconic "Strawberry Fields Forever", and the melodic "Penny Lane" are among the highlights of another memorable album from the Fab Four.
In June 1967, The Beatles released "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", the album that changed all the established rules in the world of rock and music in general. From the artwork of its iconic cover to the meticulous and elaborate composition, this album was completely groundbreaking. For its recording, The Beatles used highly advanced recording techniques with the best and most modern studio equipment. They also fused different musical styles, ranging from rock to blues, including psychedelic sounds, raga, and progressive rock. The nascent experimentation they had already shown in their previous works, "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver", completed the most avant-garde circle with this album. The instruments used were no longer just guitar, bass, drums, vocals, and backing vocals; here there were also different percussion instruments, wind instruments, strings, elaborate arrangements, keyboards, and a multitude of special effects. The entire album is a fascinating adventure, from the psychedelic "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" to the poignant "She's Leaving Home", passing through the experimental and exotic "Within You Without You", the complex "A Day in the Life", the cabaret-style "Fixing a Hole", the pop "Getting Better", the rock "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", the progressive "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!", and the beautiful "With a Little Help from My Friends". "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" is considered one of the ten greatest albums in music history and one of the most commercially successful, with over thirty million copies sold worldwide.
