Video Description

This photo… needs no introduction. But although we’ve all seen it, few people know the real story behind this moment. Facing the uncertainty of whether it wfould be their last album, the Beatles had planned to travel to the Himalayas to photograph the cover of Everest, the provisional title of the record. However, pressure from the record label and the complexity of such a distant trip led them to make a simpler decision: to go outside, right in front of their studios, and take a picture. A simple image… but loaded with history. Abbey Road not only became the cover of a legendary album: it transcended music, transforming into a global icon, a place of pilgrimage, and the origin of one of the greatest myths in pop culture. In just ten minutes, four men, on an ordinary street in London, created one of the most iconic photographs of all time.
