it was fifty years ago today... - CRAZY-HORSE - 09-08-2019 ….that one of the most recognisable and iconic album covers of all time was taken: the article:  https://www.msn.com/en-au/entertainment/music/fans-recreate-beatles-abbey-road-cover-shot-50-years-on/ar-AAFwKmR?ocid=spartanntp the album cover: RE: it was fifty years ago today... - Ruby - 11-08-2019 ^Yep – iconic and much parodied!  Have you seen these posters? From photographs by Richard Avedon - 1967. I think they’re pretty amazing –  RE: it was fifty years ago today... - gryphon - 11-08-2019 Some interesting background facts on Abbey Road ............ https://www.itv.com/news/2019-08-08/abbey-road-50-years-the-beatles-album-cover-john-lennon-paul-mccartney-george-harrison-ringo-starr/?fbclid=IwAR3EngPH7jm4_V4Uv64RQb9vGzrwVqnVZLXPVZ86E8Iy9jRxbxOFoGJ0-7o RE: it was fifty years ago today... - CRAZY-HORSE - 11-08-2019 yeah, I was aware of those little facts re: the album Gryphon, but nevertheless, its still a good read... a super deluxe version of the album comes out in September which includes remastered album, 2 disks of demos.. also includes "the ballad of J&Y"/"old brown shoe" which were recorded during that time, also Macca's original version of Mary Hopkins' "goodbye"... gonna be an interesting set IMO
