dead paul

that paul is actually ted bundy hence the beetle

According to Ringo's VH1 Storytellers episode, they wanted to take a picture of the band in front of the volcano in Hawaii or the Pyramids for the cover but did get around to it so they went outside and walked across the street

I meant the album as a whole thing, not just the sleeve

Make a good album.

Also, though it was never outright expressed, at the time I'm sure they had some sense that this was gonna be their final project together and they should go out on a high note. The finality of a song like The End sort of solidifies that.

The road is nowhere near as wide as it appears here. The cars are pushed onto the sidewalk giving it the appearance of being much larger.

It was their final project together. The End was the last thing they ever recorded as a group.

Let It Be was made from studio session done before Abbey Road.

I heard that Carry That Weight was the last thing they recorded. I may be wrong but that's just what I heard somewhere

The album cover? It's a funeral procession for their final album.

John is the minister/priest in white
Ringo is the undertaker in black
Paul is the corpse with no shoes (displayed bodies in caskets are usually not wearing shoes)
George is the grave digger in denim

This has always been the funniest part of that paul is dead shit. Like I'm pretty sure that is not even true.

It's pretty well documented that he is barefoot because they realized it would have looked really fuckin ridiculous with his 60's birkenstocks.

Have you ever tripped on LSD? You can see this album in a totally different perspective. Like you can see the end of the album
