Product Information

A billboard featuring the Beatles walking across Abbey Road was constructed on Sunset Strip in 1969. The VW beetle is there all the way through the session, but the police van is nowhere to be seen yet.

Iain then proceeded to show the boys the photo for the forthcoming album cover and a week later the iconic album cover picture was taken.Iain Macmillan was given only ten minutes on Friday, August 8, 1969 around 11:30 that morning to take the photo on the zebra crossing on Abbey Road. There was hours and hours of us just laughing and playing music, not at all like the version that came out. Holly’s ‘Mailman, Give Me No More Blues’ wasn’t the take eventually issued on Anthology 3; that was recorded on 29 January. These archives are to form the basis of a new biography of Evans by author Kenneth Womack, due in 2023. The scene in the photo did have an original Abbey Road street sign, but replacing letters may have been applied to the damaged “O” and part of the “A” in ROAD on the original sign.

In February 2008, news was that Florida resident Paul Cole, the man beside the police van had died, aged 93.For publication, the photo had some colour corrections, and also possibly the very blue sky was painted in.

This is a reenactment from the 2009 The Beatles RockBand commercial, the scene as seen from the “mystery man’s” point of view. The photo, including the Apple logo, is moved to the right in the corrected printing, revealing more of the bricks to the left and the round marks near the top. There’s no sign of “mystery man”, but there is another man in a white shirt, striding with some purpose, walking towards the camera.

During the day two Bob Dylan songs and two by Buddy Holly were attempted by the group, along with Chuck Berry’s ‘Brown-Eyed Handsome Man’.

Both attempted to play along with each others’ songs, and were joined by a recently-arrived Ringo Starr on drums during a version of Don’t Let Me Down. The police van was a late arrival to the photo session, as evidenced by the previous photos, so Paul Cole can’t have had such a conversation with the driver prior to the Beatles arriving at the scene.July: Most of the first week was fine and warm, but the 6th was dull and wet with 33mm of rain and a high of only 16C.
