Introducing 1969

Introducing 1969

14th September 2016
To celebrate one of pop music's most iconic moments, we’ve designed an exclusive range '1969'.

Presenting the original Abbey Road album cover image within a bold 1969 graphic, the image appears on a selection of T Shirts, Tote Bags, Mugs and Notebooks and is available exclusively from the 
Abbey Road Shop.

On 8th August 2016 the famous Abbey Road album cover shot of The Beatles on the zebra crossing outside the Studios turned 47 years old. On the day back in 1969 photographer Iain Macmillan was given only ten minutes to take the photo of the band, standing on a stepladder whilst a single policeman held up traffic.

Six photos were taken in total with the third making the final cut, an image that would go on to become one of the defining images for Abbey Road (then EMI) Studios, as well as one of the most famous album covers of all time.
