The Unused and Alternative Beatles Album Covers

[@brianarbenz1329]

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.

I loved the days of LP’s because the full large covers really looked beautiful.

[@doodledangernoodle2517]

They should release a picture disc version of that unused Revolver album cover

[@Tamildin]

That would be a must-have item!

[@doodledangernoodle2517]

@@Tamildin hopefully we’ll at least get one for the 60th anniversary of the album.

@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!

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.

Didnt know that, loved to see that the Beatles liked Tin Tan

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.

[@Tamildin]

Thank you!

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'.

the get back album would have been so much better than let it be is now imo

[@anthonycraig1458]

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...

[@TakaiDesu]

Damn George harrison and Klaus voormann were cute back then agh ❤

[@stuarthecht8196]

Very interesting video! I was never a fan of the cover of the White Album, so for me any of those alternative pics would have been better!

[@jeffthevideoguy23]

It's alleged that the drum on the cover is the one from the movie Help!

[@dasheristhebiggayyy366]

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 KZbin

[@sid9250]

Great vid!

[@jeffthevideoguy23]

Y & T was supposed to be a triptych, with other photos on it.

[@DavidLPeel]

You missed out that the original album.cover idea was a brown paper sheet with string. I think it was Paul who came up with the idea.

[@anuraggdeshpande286]

Nice video

[@EFE_sopita]

I like it :)👍🏻

[@jaustill237]

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.

[@Fuzcapp]

Beatles for Sale has a different cover in Australia and new Zealand.

[@Ashyri]

7:25 who is that 3rd from the right in Paul's row?

[@itamarbushari88]

The photographer who shoot the photos

[@Ashyri]

​@@itamarbushari88 that's amazing they almost used that cover. Imagen saying you were on a Beatles album!

[@itamarbushari88]

@@Ashyri yeah

[@joeltaylor3189]

I assumed it was the grandad from the movie but looking at it closer I'm not sure

[@Dex619]

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.

[@callanfox9870]

8:10 you made a mistake, those albums use similar covers, but have an entirely different track listing.

[@henrybeetle5223]

I think he was just referring to the fact that they had the same name and cover, he never said anything by about the tracks being the same

[@deadbeatdynamo]

It's "Adolph" and "Ghandi" -- basic stuff, bud.
