Now that's what I'm talking about!!!! I have never even seen the 1st and 2nd pics before!! I think the 3rd pic is the same as the shot used on the Beatles Come Together bootleg (see page 1 of this topic).

Those are absolutely awesome!! Do you have any more of this series? Also, do you have these in a higher resolution (I've started collecting the out-takes you see!).

Cheers again (flower)

I know you have seen them before ... do you remember your source for that big pic of George playing the guitar during Help filming? ... you scanned it from ... The Anthology Book!!!

And I hadn't realised you were here that long ago when I posted that pic!!!

An alternate back for Abbey Road Album?

The End · « **Reply #25 on:** May 12, 2006, 12:31:53 PM »

A NEW ONE JUST ADDED

And the alternates from the Blue Album!

The shot used on the Blue Album.

A slightly different version of the above sleeve taken from a bootleg of the Glyn Johns mix of the Get Back sessions.

Different suits for this bootleg of GLyn John's 2nd mix of the Get Back sessions!

This is one that Kate just posted on another thread in the bootleg section (12th May 2006). It looks as if it's the same version as the one above but it contains much more of the image (ie it hasn't been cropped as much).

Interesting link on different pictures of the 1969 Angus McBean picture plus other rare stuff: LINK

This was supposed to be the cover of The White Album. Later rejected.

Another attempt for the cover of The Beatles.

I found it here: http://www.norwegianwood.org/beatles/english/albumcovers.html
It's the Norwegian Beatlesfanclub and they're having a great site!

Great site, Bobber.
I don't recall having already seen the drawing they all did together in Japan.

Korean version of Sgt Pepper:

That is really awful!

Unless there is some great Korean cultural taboo about images of dead people or somesuch, it's hard to imagine what thought process went through the art departments head when the original artwork arrived on their desk.

Bobber · « **Reply #38 on:** December 04, 2006, 06:41:51 PM »

Some of the Asian versions of Sgt Pepper didn't have With A Little Help From My Friends, A Day In The Life and Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds on it, because it was thought it had a connection with drugs. Instead it had I Am The Walrus, Baby You're A Rich Man and Your Mother Should Know in the tracklist. But I bet Lennonlegend could have told you that.

[size=9]Early sketch of Revolver - Klaus Voorman[/size]

[size=9]Attempt to recreate the finished drawing before collage[/size]

The album's title isn't decided until July 2nd 1966, while the Beatles are on tour, in Tokyo. At first Abracadabra was considered. But somebody else had used that title already. Other candidates were Magic Circles and Beatles On Safari, Bubble And Squeak and Free Wheelin' Beatles. In the end, everybody is happy with Revolver. The title suggests the movement of the record on the turntable. It has nothing to do with a gun.

For the back cover, a black-and white picture by Robert Whitaker shows the four well known faces, covered in sunglasses. It was taken during the shooting of the Paperback Writer/Rain promo films. For the Capitol version of Revolver a slightly different picture is used.

On 11 March 1967 Revolver is awarded with the "Best Album Cover, Graphic Arts of 1966", during the ninth annual Grammy Awards
