Abbey Road is the eleventh official album recorded by The Beatles. Although its release preceded that of Let It Be, the latter was mostly recorded in January 1969. Work on Abbey Road began in earnest in April of that year, making it the last album started by The Beatles. The album was released on 26 September 1969 in the United Kingdom and 1 October 1969 in the United States. It was produced and orchestrated by George Martin for Apple Records. Geoff Emerick was the engineer and Tony Banks tape operator. It is regarded as one of The Beatles' most tightly constructed albums, even though the band was barely operating as a functioning unit at the time.
