Just listened to Peter Blake on Des Island Discs.
Of course the Sgt Pepper cover was mentioned and Peter still has a few of the cut out figures.
I got the feeling that he is a bit miffed about the fact that he only got £200 for
creating what has become the most iconic album cover of all time !
( I could pando the Des Island audio file over if anyone wants it )
-
He accepted the money. End of story.
-
yes.. that's the cover with the marijuana plants on the cover.
-
no...hyacinths and other flowers.
-
it was generally accepted that there was a row of cannabis plants on the cover..
but i agree they more closely resemble something else.

Lets face it, that cover was worth a lot more than a measly £200 !
looks like the rumours of Paul being a tight wad are true !

Of course it was worth more. But again: he accepted the price. Don't start moaning in hindsight then.

adjusted for inflation that's about $4000 in todays currency.
