The Beatles – Abbey Road

by Maria Sofou

Have you ever thought how classic album covers would look without their legendary faces? We have the pictures!

This project belongs to Jean-Marie Delbes and Hatim El Hihi who photoshopped these famous covers and removed their deceased musicians, creating a rather unpleasant result. Lonely Tommy Ramone standing in front of the famous brick wall on Ramones’ debut LP (Tommy died last year, almost three years after the project was last updated), Paul McCartney and George Harrison walking Abbey Road alone, Nirvana’s single that marked grunge history, “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, without the face of Kurt Cobain, a “Morrison Hotel” without Doors’ frontman Jim Morrison, a lonely Yoko Ono without John Lennon kissing her on “Double Fantasy” and many more. Sad!

You will be missed fellas!
