1969: One of the most iconic photos in rock history was shot on this day. Photographer Iain MacMillan takes a series of pictures of the Beatles in front of the EMI recording studio where the lads are working on what would be their final studio recording. (While Let It Be was released later, it was actually recorded earlier and shelved.)
From the series of six photographs taken in a span of just ten minutes, Paul McCartney selects a shot of the band crossing the street that also gave the album its name, Abbey Road.
