Abbey Road is indeed the last Beatles album RECORDED.  The tracks for
Let It Be were recorded quite a bit earlier, and languished in the tape
vaults for a while.  George Martin gave up trying to turn the tapes
into an album, at least in partial frustration with disagreements on
mixes, added instrumentation, etc., mostly with John.  Phil Spector ended 
up accepting the "challenge", and ended up with an album that differed
quite a bit (especially on some of Paul's songs) from the original concept
of "the Beatles - Live (or at least in a couple of takes)"
