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 the album’s release, the cover became part of the “Paul is dead” theory that was spreading across college campuses in the US. According to followers of the rumour, the cover depicted the Beatles walking out of a cemetery in a funeral procession. The 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. The left-handed McCartney is holding a cigarette in his right hand, indicating that he is an imposter, and 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.
Some people might think he had been reincarnated as a fly, except I saw him on Hamptons Beach in the 1990s, then again if Paul died inIndia, then the man on the LP cover was a fake and ended up as a fly.
