Although I paid extra for expedited shipping, it still took EIGHT days to receive the item. Item was received in excellent condition, but overall, very, very unhappy with this transaction.

Actually, I don't own it, but it's up on the wall in my friends room. It took us a while before we noticed Paul wasn't wearing shoes. Look at the larger image, you can see it.

Nothing much to say. great photo, classic view of the beatles crossing abbey road. the quality of the paper is pretty good, and it ships fairly quickly. (Considering it is from another company, bought through amazon). The poster size is approx. 35" x 23"
Famous Photo and Paul Is Still Around June 16, 2006

Any fan of classic rock will immediately recognize the cover picture to the final Beatles studio album, "Abbey Road." Photographer Iain MacMillan took the picture on 8 August 1969, at around 10 AM. He had about 10 minutes to take the picture.
Most of us are too young to remember the "Paul is dead" hoax or rumor of the era. Supposedly Paul had died and the Beatles were not telling the rest of the world. Paul is out of step with the other Beatles, he is barefoot, he has his eyes closed, and he is holding a cigarette in his right hand, though he is left handed. The license plate of the Volkswagen Beetle in the background, which was actually just an innocent car that belonged to people across the street from the studio, supposedly contained more clues about Paul's death. The license plate was stolen numerous times after the album came out. The Beetle was later sold at auction for many times its actual value and now resides at the VW museum.
Of course, we know that Paul lived well beyond this picture, and was alive and well at the time this review was written.
All the "Paul is dead" nonsense aside, Iain MacMillan managed to capture an image that will be one of the most memorable in music history. The photograph is simple and classic, and somehow manages to poignantly capture the end of an era, and, more importantly, the end of a group. This picture is an attractive addition to a bedroom, den, game room, or just about anywhere else you want to remember the final moments of the greatest rock group in history.
