Now I feel stupid. Perhaps I should stick to rhetorical and hypothetical questions, as many I encounter seem to do.
ex: did beatles abbey road get released with varying order of tracks in the final medley?
AI Overview
No, the final released versions of the
Abbey Road medley have a consistent track order. The track order was changed during the production phase, but not across different commercial releases.
The standard, widely recognized order for the final medley (known during sessions as "The Long One") is:
- "You Never Give Me Your Money"
- "Sun King"
- "Mean Mr. Mustard"
- "Polythene Pam"
- "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window"
- "Golden Slumbers"
- "Carry That Weight"
- "The End"
- "Her Majesty" (as a hidden track after a period of silence)
The only variation in ordering relates to an early, unreleased assembly mix where "Her Majesty" was placed between "Mean Mr. Mustard" and "Polythene Pam". This early version, titled "The Long One", was included as a bonus track on the 2019
Abbey Road 50th Anniversary deluxe edition, allowing fans to hear the initially planned sequence.
All original and subsequent standard commercial releases have the final, approved track order.

Can't stand Her Majesty. Always clipped it for mixed tapes, etc. Try anything once, I guess.
