Summer Of 1969 – August 8th – ABBEY ROAD Shoot

Posted on by JL

Every day of this summer we go back to the same summer day somewhere in history

8 August 2026

The photo session for the cover of THE BEATLES 11th LP ABBEY ROAD took
place on the crossing outside Abbey Road studios in London, on 8 August 1969.

Photographer Iain McMillan, balanced on a step-ladder in the middle of the road took six shots of John, Ringo, Paul, and George walking across the zebra crossing while a policeman held up the traffic. The band then returned to the studio and recorded overdubs on ‘The End’, ‘I Want You (She’s So Heavy)’ and ‘Oh! Darling’.
