In 1969, Robert Landau was a teenager living just up the hillside from the former Tower Records store on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, when he decided to start photographing the rock and roll billboards that towered over the street. This billboard for the Beatles' "Abbey Road" album was the first one he shot.
