On the Beatles album "Abbey Road", what is the license plate number on the white Volkswagen Beetle?
"Abbey Road" is the eleventh studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. It is the last album the group started recording, although "Let It Be" was the last album completed before the band's break-up in April 1970.
It was mostly recorded in April, July and August 1969, and was released on 26 September 1969 in the United Kingdom, and 1 October 1969 in the United States, reaching number one in both countries.
Abbey Road incorporates styles such as rock, pop, blues, singer-songwriter, and progressive rock, and makes prominent use of the Moog synthesizer and guitar played through a Leslie speaker unit. By the time the album was released Lennon had left the group, though this was not publicly announced until McCartney also quit the following year.
The album's cover, featuring the group walking across a zebra crossing outside Abbey Road Studios, has become one of the most famous and imitated in the history of recorded music. A white Volkswagen Beetle is to the left of the picture, parked next to the zebra crossing, which belonged to one of the people living in the block of flats across from the recording studio. After the album was released, the number plate (LMW 281F) was repeatedly stolen from the car.
