  Abbey Road - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The street has a long and storied history from its construction in the early 1900s to its central role in the bohemian movement of the 1960s and 70s.
Abbey Road was initially laid out and paved in 1904 to accommodate London's population sprawl.
In reality, Abbey Road had the third-lowest crime rate of all major neighborhoods in London; Mustard's complaint presumably stemmed from a single instance of trespassing, when an inebriated girl, believing Mustard's house to be her own, climbed in through the bathroom window when her key failed to unlock the front door.

 Amazon.com: Abbey Road: Music: The Beatles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Until recently, the only thing I knew about The Beatles "Abbey Road" was the goofy album cover where all four band members are crossing the street together.
Though The Beatles were on their way out with "Abbey Road," the 7 minute plus song "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" is reminiscent of another British band on their way IN in 1969, none other than Led Zeppelin.
As the music on "Abbey Road" mutates from one moment to the next, sometimes in the space of just one song, the lustrous sounds and sky-high choruses mix perfectly with the weightless lyrics, which sometimes refer to strange events or people, or just as easily, sound hazy and dreamy, in their own spacey world.

The cover photo of Abbey Road is perhaps the start of the "Paul is dead" rumor, as it is said to be a funeral procession.
Behind the Beatles on the left side of the street is a Volkswagen Beetle with a license plate reading "28IF", suggesting the Paul would have been 28 if he were still alive.
On the right side of the road is a police van, a reference to the police who kept quiet about Paul's death.

Cluny's abbey was built as part of a revival that spread throughout Europe in the 11th and 12th centuries.
The pleasant little town that grew up around the abbey maintains its street plan with plenty of its original buildings, and even the same population it had in its 12th century heyday (4,500).
The best point from which to appreciate the abbey's awesome dimensions is across from the museum, outside of it.

Over the next seven years, the Beatles would go on to make the Abbey Road studios, specifically Studio 2, all their own (Paul McCartney used to live just around the corner), even naming their 1969 album in homage to it.
That album’s cover image, of the four band members striding across the zebra crossing outside the studio, is why tourists from all over the world risk life and limb today to have their pictures taken standing in the middle of the famous road.
Far from being an ancient monument, though, Abbey Road is still a functioning studio, having recently hosted the recording of the third 'Star Wars' movie soundtrack.

 Abbey Road by Beatles CD
ABBEY ROAD, recorded in the summer of 1969, was the last album recorded by the Beatles (LET IT BE was released in 1970, but recorded in early '69).
After the laborious disorganization and infighting that characterized early 1969's LET IT BE sessions (as famously captured on film), the fractious four were willing to let George Martin take the reins and to work with him as a cohesive unit for the much more succinct production of their (and the decade's) swan song, ABBEY ROAD.
Abbey Road is an awesome album, but not as good as some of their others like Sargent Pepper and Please, Please me, my first Beatle's album to own.
