The Design: The Fab Four walking across a zebra crossing outside Abbey Road Studios. Why It’s Iconic: • Shot in 10 minutes by photographer Iain Macmillan, it’s one of the most imitated album covers in history. • Sparked endless conspiracy theories (Is Paul dead? Why is John dressed like a messiah?). • The minimalist design rejected the psychedelia of Sgt. Pepper, marking a new era for The Beatles. Collector’s Note: Original UK pressings with the "Apple Records" logo are highly sought after.
