Abbey Road is the final recorded (but second-last released) studio album by The Beatles. The album cover is very famous as it depicts the four Beatles crossing the road. The album is one of their best-selling, most favourable and popular albums.

Did the Beatles project a bad-boy image?

Although 'The Beatles' generally projected a "clean, nice guy persona" at first ( and one could argue that the Rolling Stones provide their alter-ego or antithesis), that in no way insinuates a scandal-free career for members of The Beatles. The pop sensibilities and musical style of the early Beatles' music and their portrayal in the press certainly supported this "nice-guy" veiw. In the early days of The Beatles franchise, in 1960, while Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete Best were performing with the Beatles, preceding the inclusion of Richard Starkey ( Ringo Starr) and their rapid rise to fame, three band members were deported by German officials during a residency in Munich. The under-aged Harrison was forced to leave the country, followed by McCartney and then drummer Pete Best for arson after the pair allegedly nailed a flaming condom to a hotel room wall. In 1966, Beatles records were burnt in demonstrations across America after Lennon was misunderstood by the press in his controversial statement claiming the Beatles were at that time "more popular than Jesus". In 1967 Paul McCartney revealed to the press that he along with other band members had taken the drug LSD on four occasions. The Beatles bob-cut was the major part of their image. Some would interpret it as a "nice-guy" conservative haircut, whereas in America it raised eyebrows. When asked whether they ever went unnoticed, McCartney replied, "When we take of our wigs," and when one reporter informed Lennon that fans thought his haircut was "un-American" he responded, "Well that's a very good observation, because we're not American." At least in the early days, the Beatles' uniformed 'image' was deliberate ( refusal to adopt the style was apparently one of the reasons The Beatles' manager convinced to let Pete Best go). When asked during a press conference about their image, Harrison said that "Image is only what you see." and McCartney claimed that, paradoxically, "We can't tell you about our image... we know what our real image is and it's completely different from our image."


Why is Van Morrison not as popular as The Beatles?

I'm not sure. I've never been able to figure that one out. For one thing, Van Morrison himself has publicly stated that he does not like pop music; he grew up listening to jazz, blues, country, R&B, and maybe some early rock n' roll. He developed a highly unique style throughout his career that may not always reach the mainstream, but all of his albums are interesting and worth hearing. As for the Beatles, all they were famous for was their image and dreadfully overproduced pop music. I've never understood people's fascination with them, and I never will. Even Van stated that he doesn't even admire the Beatles, or Elvis for that matter. So the unfortunate answer to the question is that people choose manufactured crap or over genuine musical talent.


Who was the beatles second manager?

Allan Williams was the band's manager when they began using The Beatles name in 1960. They secured a booking without him later, and allowed departing member Stuart Sutcliffe to break the news to Williams. Williams had opened a club in Liverpool, that burned to the ground not long after; any contract he had with the Beatles was lost in that fire, and he let them go. He later wrote a memoir, titled The Man Who Gave the Beatles Away.Brian Epstein signed the Beatles up in 1962, but contacted Williams to see if he still had any contractual ties to them. He didn't, but advised Epstein "Don't touch them with a barge pole. They will let you down." Epstein took them on, tidied their image, and helped them become famous. Epstein managed the Beatles until his death in 1967, during the same weekend they visited the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in Wales.The Beatles went without a manager for a couple years, until their company Apple Corps got into trouble. Allen Klein offered to help, and he became business manager to Lennon, Harrison and Starr. McCartney wanted his father-in-law Lee Eastman to take over, but the others rejected him. Klein and Eastman did NOT get along; their clashes were one of the factors that broke the Beatles up.Eastman did all right by McCartney; Klein had his limitations (and made his mistakes) with the other three, and they split with him later. Former road manager Neil Aspinall took over running Apple Corps after the Beatles' partnership was dissolved in 1975; they decided to keep Apple, and it became the licensing agent for Beatles merchandise, new music releases, and related products.Aspinall ran the Beatles affairs for far longer than any of the other managers. He stepped down shortly before his death in 2008. Apple still exists, and is now supervised by Jeff Jones.Alan WilliamsBrain EpsteinBrian EpsteinBrian Epstein.


Were The Beatles ever put on a stamp?

John Lennon's image is on the postage stamps of several small nations. Why? Revenue for those countries, knowing the stamps would be bought by collectors in other countries, but never used on letters. Thus, it placed no burden on the postal systems for the small nations.
