      Actually, it was George Harrison who bought the Moog used in the Abbey Road Sessions. It appears on Maxwells Silver Hammer and Because as well. Those songs are early examples on how to use a Synthesizer in a popular song in tastefull way, WITHOUT building up the whole sound on the "new" of the electronic sound.

      Garbage! So damn tired of Phil bashing. George Martin wouldn't even TOUCH the ill-fated LIB sessions!!!. And Spector "was given the shittiest load of badly recorded shit - and with a lousy feeling to it - ever. And he made something out of it" according to John Lennon. www.beatlesbible.com/albums/let-it-be/4/
      "Spector set to work, mixing here, snipping tape there, and ultimately recruiting both Ringo Starr and an orchestra to work on several tracks - including McCartney's song, 'The Long And Winding Road'. Why wasn't Paul there at the session? Because both he and John were so sick of the project that they had agreed to let George and Ringo supervise what Spector was doing. So it's true that Paul McCartney didn't know what Phil Spector was planning to do to 'The Long And Winding Road' (i.e. add an orchestra and choir); but only because he had chosen not to get involved.
      When Spector's work was done, he rapidly assembled his mix of the Let It Be album, cut four acetate copies of the LP, and sent one apiece to each of the Beatles for their approval. The four musicians liaised with each other, and approved Spector's work. Only two weeks later, when the presses were already rolling, did Paul suddenly wake up and think, "Hang on a minute, I want to make some changes". But by then it was too late.
      During the research for my book, I came across the original letter that Spector sent to the four Beatles. Rather than the authoritarian rant I was expecting, his note turned out to be extremely friendly. "If there is anything you'd like done to the album, let me know and I'll be glad to help", he wrote. "Naturally little things are easy to change, big things might be a problem. If you wish, please call me about anything regarding the album tonight." That's definitely the voice of compromise, rather than a control freak." peterdoggettbeatles.blogspot.com/2010/09/phil-spector-and-let-it-be.html?fbclid=IwAR2_2GyjGFaCY7Ks1xXlC9g3f0sIitXK9bslsyfqd27qaI0fLjQ0d_4fk_I

      @@sadakichihartmann1827 I didn't take any of this as Phil bashing. To my mind, with the best will in the world, when comparing Spector with George Martin in the 60's most people are going to say that Spector's production style was usually more heavy handed whilst Martin's productions were normally more astringent (dare I say, economic). As with many things musical it comes down to opinions. My opinion is obviously the correct one as I'm sure yours and everybody else's is? There's no point having an opinion that's wrong.
      I think the original comment actually referred to All Things Must Pass, which personally I think is a great album despite the production, which to my ears is over produced and badly engineered (there's almost no 8kHz on this record), and sounds lumpy and a bit dated. However, I respect that GH wanted to work with Spector and respect that the released record was what he wanted... Who am I to request any different.
      Let It Be is a great album, like a flawed diamond.

    Always a treat hearing isolated parts of Beatles songs. Especially songs from Abbey Road, as there was a lot of Moog Modular on them.
    The Moog used on the album Belonged to Mike Vickers, as he was the only one at the time who a ) knew how to program one & b) had one close enough for the Beatles to use. I don't think even Keith Emerson's modular system had arrived yet, so this was one of the first in the U.K.

    Beyond their early, pop tune days the Beatles became SO much more than just Lennon / McCartney. Over time their secret weapons - Harrison, Starr, and Martin - flourished and their music expanded and evolved into something truly magical. They came to define the notion of "lightning in a bottle".
    Those of us of a certain age to have had the great and good fortune of having a front row seat to witness the metamorphosis are indeed blessed with that memory.

    Great hearing early use of the Moog. The Beatles had the money to buy anything new. Wendy Carlos was the first to record with one from 1967 "Switched on Bach". The first musician to perform with one live was of course Keith Emerson in 1969. According to Emerson's autobiography he borrowed it from his friend Mike Vickers I think was his name, who actually was hiding behind it while the band "The Nice" played and would jump up "like a jack in the box" and make adjustments. The oscillators were unstable and would drift out of tune. He went on to buy his own in 1970 and became close friends with Robert Moog. By 1973, he had what was the only custom built Moog especially designed to Emerson's live playing all 7 feet of it. I was fortunate to get to play it after an ELP concert once in 1977 when most everyone left and it was still plugged in to a monitor at low volume under the stage on a hydraulic lift. Ready cool setup. A roady politely asked me to stop which was very hard to do. Listen to ELP's "Picture at an Exhibition" from 1971 and hear how well he utilized it just playing that instrument. He had to use his left hand make constant adjustments programing it.It's a beast of an instrument and my favorite Emerson Moog playing is the second half of Trilogy from the album of the same name. Also "Toccata" from "Brain Salad Surgery", Emerson's rendition of the great classical piece by Alberto Ginestera.

    I'm not sure if someone already commented about this, but Mike Vickers of the group Manfred Mann, who had a Modular Moog already, helped The Beatles with their newly acquired Modular Moog for the Abby Road album. He also helped Keith Emerson with his Moog (which I mentioned in a comment 4 years ago) after he purchased one of the four used for the "Jazz in The Garden" Concert at New York's MOMA in 1968. The use of the Moog on Abbey Road was very well done and I had always wondered what that instrument was in the closing melody of "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" after hearing it in 1969.
