Story & Background
For this first pressing from 1969 of *Abbey Road*, it's impossible not to mention the genesis of the famous urban legend "Paul is Dead", a global phenomenon that fascinated collectors and the media since its release. The cover, with its absence of title or band name, became fertile ground for a series of seemingly intentional clues. Paul, barefoot and out of sync with the others, symbolised the deceased; he held a cigarette in his right hand, despite being left-handed, seen as a subliminal message. The car "VW LMW 28IF" parked on the left, interpreted as "Linda McCartney Weeps 28 If" (if he were 28 years old), and John Lennon dressed in white like a priest, Ringo Starr in black like an undertaker, and George Harrison in denim like a gravedigger, completed the macabre procession. These details, although denied by The Beatles themselves, transformed the cover of *Abbey Road* into one of the most discussed iconographic puzzles in rock history. It fuels a myth that has made every copy of the first edition a piece of cultural history, an artefact imbued with that enigmatic narrative that still today ignites debates among music enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists, bestowing upon it an eternal fascination.
