On this day in 1969 The Beatles took the photo that would become one of the most iconic album covers of all times for their “Abbey Road” album. When I went to London 9 years ago the #1 thing on my list to see/do was to walk across the street where The Beatles did. It was right outside of the famous Abbey Road studio. Originally they were going to call the album “Everest” not for the mountain but for the grand of cigarettes Abbey Road recording engineer Geoff Emerick was smoking. They thought it would be a little too difficult to travel to Mt. Everest for the photo so they just walked outside of Abbey Road, traffic was held a while, they shot some pictures and they had their cover. Abbey Road would be their best selling album ever and one of their best. Personally my favourite Beatle album and my favourite album by anyone ever is The Beatles “Revolver”

Great post about the Abbey Road cover photo. I loved the behind the scenes photos. Just like you, I had to walk across that crosswalk when I was in London.
