The End (Beatles song) The End (Beatles song) "The End" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1969 album "Abbey Road". It was composed by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon–McCartney. It was the last song recorded collectively by all four Beatles, and is the final song of the medley that constitutes the majority of side two of the album. McCartney said, "I wanted [the medley] to end with a little meaningful couplet, so I followed the Bard and wrote a couplet." In his 1980 interview with "Playboy", John Lennon acknowledged McCartney's authorship by saying, "That's Paul again ...
The Beatles (album) that band." He also supported the idea of the double album, to clear out the backlog of songs that the group had at the time. By contrast, McCartney said that it was fine as it was, adding: "It's the bloody Beatles' "White Album". Shut up!" "The Beatles" was the last Beatles album to be mixed separately for both stereo and mono, though the mono version was issued only in the UK and a few other countries. All but one track exist in official mono mixes; the exception is "Revolution 9", which was a direct reduction of the stereo master. The
