McLemore Avenue

McLemore Avenue is the tenth studio album by the American southern soul group Booker T. & the M.G.s, consisting entirely of mostly instrumental versions of songs from the Beatles' album Abbey Road (released only months earlier, in September 1969).

The title and cover are an homage to the Beatles album, 926 East McLemore Avenue being the address of the Stax Studios in Memphis, as Abbey Road was for London’s EMI Studios, which were soon renamed Abbey Road Studios.

Booker T. Jones said, "I was in California when I heard Abbey Road, and I thought it was incredibly courageous of The Beatles to drop their format and move out musically like they did.

The music was just incredible so I felt I needed to pay tribute to it.

"[1] All songs written by Lennon–McCartney except "Here Comes the Sun" and "Something", by George Harrison It was also released digitally in a lossless and high quality version at 88.2 kHz and 24 bit.
