TODAY IN HISTORY: 50 years ago, 'Abbey Road,' the last album The Beatles recorded, was released.
Fifty years ago, four young musicians were photographed walking across London's Abbey Road for what has become arguably one of the most iconic album covers ever.
The photo, which was one of six Macmillan took, features John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney and George Harrison crossing the street from left to right, in that order. Lennon wears a white suit, Starr a black suit and McCartney a gray one, while Harrison donned a blue denim shirt and jeans. Paul holds a a cigarette in his right hand and is barefoot.
The cover also has been parodied numerous times for various reasons, including other artists' albums. For example, McCartney's 1993 concert album, Paul Is Live, shows the rock legend being pulled across Abbey Road by a sheepdog on a leash, and the cover of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' 1988 release, The Abbey Road E.P,. shows the band members making the crossing naked except for white tube socks over their genitals.
Starr recently revealed to Billboard that a deluxe"Abbey Road" reissue is being prepared for release, although no official details have been announced.
