A FAMOUS COVER PHOTO

4.1. __

In 1969, after the Beatles recorded their final album in a studio in Abbey Road, London, the
band discussed what title they should give it. One suggestion was to call it Everest and have
a photo session for the cover in the Himalayas. But that would require a long journey, so they
soon rejected that title and decided on another idea, which was effortless and much more
convenient. The band had a picture taken in the street outside the studio and called the
album Abbey Road. The result has delighted fans ever since.

4.2. __

Even 50 years ago Abbey Road was not a quiet street, so the photographer had to do his job
quickly. A policeman stopped the traffic at the zebra crossing for ten minutes, and the
photographer climbed up a stepladder in the middle of the road. Then, the Beatles walked
back and forth across the road three times, and a picture was taken each time they crossed.
The best photo was chosen for the cover of the album.

4.3. __

When you look at the cover, you can see the Beatles on the zebra crossing walking away
from their studio with Lennon leading them. Some fans see this as symbolic because he was
the first member to leave the band. McCartney has no shoes on. It is said that he kicked
them off because they were too tight. Harrison is not wearing a suit, unlike the other Beatles,
as he always preferred to go his own way.

4.4. __

Millions of fans come to Abbey Road to have their photo taken on the iconic crossing.
However, it should be remembered that Abbey Road is not just a tourist attraction. It’s a busy
road. If you want to walk across it like the four famous musicians and have your photo taken,
you have to be prepared to spend a lot of time waiting until there is a gap in the traffic. It’s not
as simple as you might think!
