In retrospect, the final release of both Abbey Road and Let it Be were extraordinarily luck affairs, considering the pressures the group was under in the time period.

Famously, on January 10th 1969, George Harrison stormed out of a recording session, and announced that he had left the group. By all appearances it was a more serious situation than when Starkey had left the group during the White Album. IOTL the band was able to get Harrison to return, however briefly. What if Harrison had refused to rejoin the group?
