I do not recall seeing this photo before.
It is the Beatles BEFORE crossing Abbey Road in 1969.

Wow, how cool. Getting primped last minute before the photo shoot. 🎵🎶

Paul could primp me any time! 🥰
i have seen that photo before in one of the millions 😄 of Beatles biographies I've read but I haven't seen it in many years so thanks for posting it @Mersha . It's a good one!
As many of you probably know, Abbey Road was going to be named Mt Everest, and the Beatles were going to go to Mt Everest to shoot a photo for the album cover. Some of the Beatles thought that was too much of a shlep (not their exact words! 😄) for an album cover so Paul said let's just go outside the (then EMI) record studio and do the shoot. Hence, Abbey Road and the iconic walk across it.

I love that photo of the fab four but than any photo of the Beatles is fantastic!!!! My niece just saw Paul in concert and gushed over how great he is but then we all know that!!!! Thanks for sharing this musical story.

@Pearlee Thanks for the additional info. The photo and album are so iconic it would be hard to imagine that record cover done anywhere else.

@Mersha I so agree! Not to mention there wouldn't be nearly as many tourists having their photo taken in front of Mt Everest as there are having their photo taken walking across that Abbey Road crosswalk! Which is on my bucket list of things I want to do! 😁

A little bit of trivia:
6 photos were taken; Paul was only barefoot in 4. The other two Paul wore sandals.
In the end the photo used on the album cover was chosen because they were all in sync (yes, Paul's right foot is not in the same place as the other three) but they were all walking in the same stride.
