Celebrating 55 years of Abbey Road

Celebrating 55 years of Abbey Road

September 26, 2024

Abbey Road was released 55 years ago today, on September 26, 1969. Over half a century later, the album remains an iconic piece of musical history.

From ‘Come Together’ to ‘Here Comes the Sun’, the tracks on Abbey Road are beloved, and evoke the sound of 1969. These songs are nostalgic, representing the Beatles’ last project before the group disbanded, since Abbey Road was the last album the four ever recorded together.

The iconic cover art depicting the Fab Four striding across the zebra crossing is universally recognisable – although it reportedly only took 30 minutes to get the shot. In fact, the Abbey Road album cover is cemented in the public imagination, so much so that Abbey Road remains a pilgrimage site for dedicated fans.

This live stream shows the famous Abbey Road zebra crossing, and the constant influx of people waiting to recreate the iconic Beatles photo – there are bound to be plenty of visitors today.

To celebrate the album’s anniversary, we’ll be listening to Abbey Road. You can also celebrate your love for the Beatles by treating yourself to our limited edition 'Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite' letterpress print.
