George Benson 『The Other Side of Abbey Road』Japanese pressing (LAX-3109) George Benson's album 『The Other Side of Abbey Road』, released in 1970, is a jazz cover album that boldly and attractively reconstructs The Beatles' masterpiece 『Abbey Road』 (1969). Featuring master musicians such as Ron Carter, Herbie Hancock, Sonny Fortune, and Freddie Hubbard, the album showcases Benson's guitar/vocals, blending the boundaries of pop and jazz. This work rearranges the original Beatles compositions while maintaining a consistent concept and fluidity in its arrangements. Medley arrangements such as "Golden Slumbers/You Never Give Me Your Money" and "Because/Come Together" create new storytelling. John Ballon of All About Jazz praised this work as "a very cohesive and excellent album," highly valuing the richness of the solo performances.
