A Brief History of Abbey Road Studios

Icon
Though the Beatles had been recording at Abbey Road for many years, nothing solidified the studio's fame more than the group's decision to name their second-to-last last release after the place where it was made. The album Abbey Road is considered one of the group's masterpieces and frequently lands on lists of the greatest albums ever made, while its cover photo — of George, a barefoot Paul, Ringo and John — crossing the street in front of the building, has become one of the world's most recognizable images.
