Title: Rubber Soul photoshoot pictures?
Post by: on February 04, 2006, 11:06:54 PM
Just wondering if anyone has any of the album cover photo session pictures? Or if they do in fact exist, because I'm after the jacket John is wearing, but you cant' really see it.

I suppose you could try and find out who took the picture (I just had a short browse, couldn't find anything), you'd probably be able to find some pictures if you knew who took them?

Where on earth did you find that?!!! I've been after that for years!!!

Regarding the photo-session for the sleeve - I have Robert Freeman's Book and that contains no alternative shots either unfortunately.

All you had to do was ask.  ;D

By the way, George's and Pauls jackets looks like they've been photoshopped.

I agree. I think that rather than being an alternative shot, the picture has actually had the skewed effect corrected (which is also possible with Photoshop).

Compare the two. As you can see, you can't actually see Paul's and George's jackets on the original LP version so it looks as if they have been Photoshopped on so that there are no corners missing when the picture is tilted and de-skewed. Also note that the title has been cropped.

In the meantime, the jacket switched owners.

This:

Those photos were taken at Hotel Fénix in Madrid, on 1 July 1965. Next day, they wore the same clothes in Barcelona. There are a lot of photos from those two days...

Best!! ;)

Xose, the room and furniture in the first picture you posted is the same as in the second set of pictures you posted.  So I would say that they were all taken at the Hotel Fenix in Madrid.

Correct. You are right and I was wrong. It's Hotel Fénix in Madrid. Many photos from the next day in Barcelona have survived as well...

Best!! ;)

That jacket of Johns is now here in Australia, in fact in Surfers Paradise, on the Gold Coast where nimrod and I live.

It's in e Hard Rock Cafe, well, it was a few years back, and I'm equally sure it is the original.

Yea, it was all over Facebook last night, so I snatched it out of the aether, lickety-split.

There's no really a skewed effect, the picture was just rotated 45 degrees. You can see that simply by looking at the album cover at this position:

There's just a slight distortion, as Paul once explained what happened during the selection of the Rubber Soul cover.

Same here.

Here's a page I did for the 40th anniversary of the album in 2005. It looks a bit "rustic" now.

Yes, Yahoo had closed the Geocities pages, but somehow my page is still there. I thought it didn't exist anymore but I found it on Google.
