    As all four Beatles gathered at EMI Studios on the morning of Friday 8 August 1969 for one of the most famous photo shoots of their career, photographer Iain Macmillan took the iconic image that adorned their last-recorded album, Abbey Road.
    As the band waited outside the studio for Macmillan's shoot to begin, those photos were created but not by Iain.
    A policeman held up the traffic as Macmillan, from a stepladder positioned in the middle of the road, took six shots as the group walked across the zebra crossing just outside the studio.  The Beatles crossed the road a number of times while Macmillan photographed them. 8 August was a hot day in north London, and for four of the six photographs McCartney walked barefoot; for the other two he wore sandals.
    Shortly after the shoot, McCartney studied the transparencies and chose the fifth one for the album cover. It was the only one when all four Beatles were walking in time. It also satisfied The Beatles? desire for the world to see them walking away from the studios they had spent so much of the last seven years inside.
    Macmillan also took a photograph of a nearby tiled street sign for the back cover. The sign has since been replaced, but was situated at the corner of Abbey Road and Alexandra Road. The junction no longer exists; the road was later replaced by the Abbey Road housing estate, between Boundary Road and Belsize Road.
    Will be wrapped in craft paper and shipped in a thick poster tube for extra protection.  Thanks for looking and please email us with any questions.
