Beatles fans swarm Abbey Road on album anniversary

By RAPHAEL G. SATTER
Associated Press Writer

LONDON (AP) -- Hundreds of Beatles fans swarmed Abbey Road on Saturday, singing songs and snarling traffic to mark 40 years since John, Paul, George and Ringo strode across the leafy north London street and into the history books on iconic pop photos.

The famous photo graced the cover of the Fab Four's "Abbey Road," the last album recorded together, and shows the bandmates walking purposefully across the zebra-striped asphalt.

It remains one of music's best-known album covers, endlessly imitated and parodied. Although the shoot itself only took a few minutes, so carefully studied was the cover for signs and symbolism that some die-hard fans came to the conclusion that Paul McCartney - who appears barefoot and out of step with the rest - had secretly died.

McCartney himself made fun of the bizarre conspiracy in the title of his 1993 concert album, "Paul is Live."

Conspiracies aside, the ease with which fans can imitate the scene has drawn throngs of tourists to the site every day, turning the street into "a shrine to the Beatles," said Richard Porter, who owns the nearby Beatles Coffee Shop and organized Saturday's event.

Crowds spilled into the street, cameramen jostled for angles, and exasperated drivers honked their horns.

"I didn't expect so many people to be here," said German visitor Tschale Haas, 50, who was dressed in a Sgt. Pepper jacket.

Abbey Road, which cuts through London's well-to-do neighborhood of St. John's Wood, is home to the eponymous studios where the group recorded much of its work.

The group decided to shoot the photograph in August 1969 while recording music for the last time together. For the shot, photographer Iain Macmillan stood on a stepladder and police held up traffic while the Beatles walked back and forth across the street.

The enduring popularity of the site has caused headaches for local authorities, who have had to move the Abbey Road street sign up out of reach to prevent theft and repaint the wall every three months to hide fans' graffiti.By RAPHAEL G.

'Revolution' Featuring The Beatles Artwork To Be Shown At Duck Walk Vineyards - Southampton, NY

Southampton - Paul McCartney will once again make history as he performs the first concert at the new Citi Field in New York City. McCartney's performance kicks-off a year that is jammed with exciting Beatles releases, including The Beatles Rock Band video game and the entire Beatles remastered C.D. catalog. 92.9 and 96.9 EHM celebrates the legacy of the Fab Four by hosting “Revolution" a fine art show featuring rare artwork created by John Lennon, McCartney and Ringo Starr, as well as famous Beatles photographs, album cover lithographs and one-of-a-kind Beatles animation on Thursday, July 9 through Sunday, July 12, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Duck Walk Vineyards, 231 Montauk Highway (Route 27) in Southampton, and Wednesday, July 15 through Sunday, July 19, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Duck Walk Vineyards, 44535 Main Road in Southold. Admission to the shows are free and all works are available to purchase.

One of the many highlights of the show is a rare live appearance of famed Beatles animator Ron Campbell. Campbell is the director of the legendary Saturday morning Beatles Cartoon series that aired on ABC from Sept. 25, 1965 through April 20, 1969, and animator on The Beatles film "Yellow Submarine." In his book, "Up Periscope," "Yellow Submarine" producer Al Brodax gives Campbell a great deal of credit for saving the movie and tying it all together at the last minute.

Campbell will have many of his original Beatles paintings on sale created specially for this show as well as give attendees a live demonstration of his painting.

In addition to his Beatles past, Campbell has been involved with some of the most beloved cartoons including, "Scooby Doo," "George of the Jungle," "The Jetsons," "The Flintstones," "The Smurfs," "Rugrats," "Winnie The Pooh" and dozens more.

Other “Revolution" highlights include new hand-signed artwork from Starr, a very rare limited edition art piece from the fifth Beatle, Stuart Sutcliffe, signed by Pauline Sutcliffe (Stuart's sister and Water Mill resident), hand-signed art from McCartney, a gold etched record of Lennon's "Imagine," a newly released posthumous Beatles drawing from artist Al Hirschfeld, photographs from Linda McCartney and much more. It's a visual history of the Fab Four.

“Revolution" is the largest exhibit of its kind in the world and it's only at Duck Walk Vineyards for a limited time. Come celebrate the music and art of the Fab Four.
