Beatles, The/Beatles Abbey Road

Question
A while back I saw a Beatles Abbey Road record where the Beatles were going across the street in the opposite direction of the popular version we all know and love and Paul was wearing sandals instead of being barefoot.  Can you tell me if this is a legitimate version or if it is a bootleg?  Are the songs the same at the original?  I tried to look it up on the internet but couldn't find it.  Thanks for your help!

Answer
That is a bootleg album called "Return to Abbey Road"  - It came out in the 1980's and features the same tracks as the album but with different takes/mixes.  Much of the material has since been released on the Beatles Anthology 3 disc, but it is a nice compilation to listen through should you come upon a copy.
