@doodledangernoodle2517 fingers crossed! I know at the very least that Sgt peppers and Abbey Road have picture vinyls. Sadly though, the best time for something like this would have been with the most recent remastered set that came out... One day, maybe!
These alternate images seem disconcerting, as the genuine ones are deeply endeared to us. Of course had a decision about a cover image made those many decades ago been different, the feeling the image would give us would likewise be different.
Awesome video! 07:07 - The original concept for 'Please Please Me' was to feature a shot of the band on the steps at EMI Studios by Dežo Hoffman. You can find the image in his book, 'With the Beatles: The Historic Photographs'.
For the Sgt Pepper cover they wanted to put Germán Valdez "Tin Tán" but he requested to put something of more tradition of his home country México so they put a Tree of Life statue on the cover. The tree was from Metepec, Tin Tan send it to them. Another alternate album cover could be the German Magical Mystery Tour album which some vinyl collector say has a lot of fidelity and very good quality.
Interesting aspect of the butcher cover is that, as mentioned, it was used in the UK to promote Paperback Writer and no one was offended. The same year John's quote about The Beatles being "more popular than Jesus" was published in the UK and again, no one was offended. Meanwhile on the other side of the Atlantic, the future was brewing...
Holy shit dude. From the looks of the editing and quality of the video, I was sure that you had well over 100k subs. Dude you are so underrated. Keep it Up.
Quick note: The butcher cover isn’t a protest of anything, It’s just a weird photograph from a surrealist photo session that was taken by Robert Whitaker, You can search the history of the cover on RU-vid
Information is wrong. Actually the version of the album, Y&T, with a pasted cover is worth a lot because everyone has peeled them. The peeled one is worthless.
I think the Revolver cover would have been better without the photos. The drawings are great but the photos aren’t very good and make the cover look messy and thrown together.
