This Picture Was Taken 45 Years Ago Today

Boom. Enjoy your Friday by spinning this masterpiece that would end up being The Beatles’ last recorded album (Let It Be was recorded before Abbey Road).

Pro-tip: If you ever go to this particular intersection and try to recreate the album cover, don’t do it. The locals step on the gas hard when they see a few Americans trying to be funny. To demonstrate, flip on this live cam of the crossing courtesy of Abbey Road Studios and see for yourself. And yes, they are driving on the correct side of the road. Don’t freak out.
