The “Abbey Road” recording sessions marked the “end of the road” for The Beatles, as this was the last time the band would record all together, but they resulted in a decade-defining album. The record’s famous cover photo was taken at a crossing in northwest London near Abbey Road Studios, where The Beatles recorded the album, which still serves as a beacon for Beatles fans who visit the city.
To this day, there is some confusion as to whether this or “Let It Be” was the actual last recorded Beatles record, however, the latter was laid down a few months before “Abbey Road” but not released until more than a year later.
