The Beatles released ABBEY ROAD on 26 September 1969.
The pop quartet's eleventh LP was their last and featured such McCartney disasters as "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" and "Oh! Darling", but was saved by Lennon, Ringo, and George.
According Wikipedia shortly after Abbey Road's release, the cover featuring the four Beatles crossing a London intersection depicted a funeral procession to the millions of fans around the word, thereby creating "Paul is dead" theory fed by the rumors of the bassist having died in India famously fueld fueled by the Stones lyrics in Sympathy For the Devil , "traps for troubadours, who get killed before they reach Bombay".
The LP's procession was led by Lennon dressed in white as a religious figure; Starr was dressed in black as the undertaker; McCartney, out of step with the others, was a barefoot corpse; and Harrison dressed in denim was the gravedigger. Paul McCartney was famously left-handed, while in the photo the man holds a cigarette in his right hand, indicating that he is an imposter. Secondly the number plate on the Volkswagen parked on the street is 28IF, meaning that McCartney would have been 28 if he had lived – despite the fact that he was only 27 at the time of the photo and subsequent release of the record.
I know Paul lives.
Some people might think he had been reincarnated as a fly, except I saw him on a Hamptons Beach in the late 1990s, walking with his ailing wife, Linda. I wasn't a Beatles fan post Revover, but I respected him for his wife. a good man, even if he wrote HEY JUDE.
