Who dat?
One of the ever engaging elements of Beatling is that once you think you've seen it all, well, you ain't.
Case in point: the annual Goldmine Beatle ish, with its uncovering of a heretofore (mostly) unknown speciality Sgt. Pepper cover, which was prepared for EMI suits way back in '67.
-
The faces the Fabs had chosen to honour-INCLUDING THEIR OWN!- are replaced with those of the EMI guys, which may be some sort of sacrilege, I'd reckon. Anyways, read all about it in Goldmine.
-
And speaking of rarities, how about the Help! Shell cover at upper left. It too was prepared as a perk for company big-wigs and even lowly employees, back, I think,
in the late 60s.
-
I actually saw one of these in the flesh-or cardboard-back in 1997.
-
In any event, will bloody wonders-and curios-never cease?
-
Oh, and catch our ad in the Beatle Goldmine, as well.
