Hi Beatles People - Does anyone know the story, if there is one, behind this? Lots of stories about other parts of the cover, etc., but I haven't really heard much about this - whose idea, discussions about the choice, etc. Thanks!
I love John, I love Paul, And George and Ringo, I love them all! Alexis

Hi alexis,
Photographer Michael Cooper also did the cover for The Rolling Stones "Their Satanic Majesties Request." Hidden in the two bottom corners of the album cover, you can find the faces of all four Beatles. I think it was just his commentary on these two groups' friendly rivalry.
I can stay till it's time to go

I'd say without a doubt it is heavily influenced by Pepper. It is a generally accepted as such. Just as "the Rolling Stones" is clearly influenced by With The Beatles, and Aftermath by Rubber Soul. And The Stones album after Satanic Magesties....plain white with just the lettering. And Let It Bleed being a take on Let It Be (same year) has been discussed here before

The Rolling Stones must have been in panic when The Beatles broke up.

Thanks, guys, but my first question was ... why put the Stones on the Sgt. Pepper album cover in the first place? Ah well, if you guys don't know of a source of info, I'm guessing only Paul, Ringo, George Martin and the artist (Peter Max?) know!

They were mates. In the early days The Beatles used to go to see them play. Paul and John wrote I Wanna Be Your Man for them.
I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.

They also used to get together and make sure their album release dates didn't clash so they wouldn't effect each other sales. The Stones weren't the bad guys the hype would have you believe.

Mick. So pretty. Almost as pretty as Paul. I wish there was footage of them in the studio together. Is there? Have I just missed it all these years?
