Is this duplicate thread week? :)
Actually it's almost triplicate as I brought up the fact this happened in 1969 in the "beatles" thread the other day :P

Pic on other thread ttm

yesterday

And macca walking bare footed

28 if

Lol "clues" that paul was dead and some imposter had taken the place, rubbish of course

i dont think they crossed the road,for one reason ,paul was bare footed,now the sun would create a very hot temperature at 11.35 am and the road would be boiling hot at this time in August 1969,Ringo's suit is black,this would attract the heat making it steaming hot inside the suit,and the cameramans hands would be sweating from the heat of the sun.yet the photo came out crystal clear.

Read both John Lennon and Ringos biography last year both a real eye opener.
Basically when it comes to Ringo he always felt he was never as close as the other three and there was always unjustified criticism of drumming, brought about by the fact he was never one for drum solos, however in the eyes of other drummers and musicians he was one for the best for keeping time and a rock solid foundation for the rest of the group. Unfortunately George Martin had replaced him on some early Beatles recording in the studio and because he didn't add much musically to the Beatles he would often spend hours on his own in the canteen at Abby Rd.
John lennon well do you start almost blind and it's a miracle he passed his driving test, he is brought up by his aunt Mimi he develops obsessions with first his Mother including sexual fantasy, he then be omes obsessional and controlling with cynthia making her dress like Bridget Bardot before becoming totally obsessed with Yoko Ono and it's definitely him that does the running it that relationship

Heard on TV they were going to call Abbey Road   "Everest". They were going to fly out and take pictures then somebody said nah, lets take the pictures at Abbey Road where they recorded most of their musak. The rest is history.

as an aside the chances of running over a Japanese on a zebra crossing are uninsurable!

Macarony,Ive read its was Yoko who did all the chasing,make a pest of herself,turning up at Johns house when cyn was there,but whatever way round it was,the rest was history.John was so shortsighted,his favourite saying when driving was "point me in the right direction"

In the book I read cynthia says much the same however once they are an item its John doing the running the book I read was by Phillip Norman

Ah ok, and of course the word on the ceiling was "YES",that was the decider according to the great man

Check out the Abbey Road webcam.

left to right..... The Gravedigger, The Deceased, The Mourner, The Minister....

50th Anniversary editions of the greatest album of all-time announced today also.

Coming out next month and will need a large wallet.
4CD set has two CDs of outtakes, but an interesting blu-ray mix on another CD

Great news.  Loved the deluxe 'Pepper' and 'White Album" sets.

"Abbey Road" is still my favourite of them all.

And there is a picture disc version being released

I'm pretty sure there was a picture disc version of 'Abbey Road' available back in the late 70s, when there was a bit of a craze for them.

I've got a 'Sgt Pepper' picture disc from that time, erm, still unplayed.

idiots crossing the road stopping, and confusing the traffic today  ...great album none the less .

lorry drivers had a few choice words i reckon

Did Michael Jackson once own the Beatles back catalogue?

Yes, Jackson was flush with cash after 'Thriiler' and snapped it up.  His estate sold his interest onto Sony who I believe are sole owners.

their music is as great as welcome as dog poop on your shoes.

It's a shame the Black Sabbath "Sabotage" cover isn't given the same level of respect.
