Klaus getting his 'peace' sign the wrong way around! With Ringo, of course. (Recent, but I'm not sure of the occasion, possibly something for the 50th anniversary of Klaus's Grammy for the Revolver cover. Pic from Klaus Voormann's IG).

John grabbed my cover and held it so close to his eyes that I thought his nose would pierce it. And for the first time I spotted a slightly sheepish look on his face, as if he felt embarrassed that a stranger noticed his short-sightedness. And, apparently, he wasn’t prepared for me confronting him with this question. It only took John a second to switch back to the nonchalant, grumpy rocker and he said in a tight-lipped manner: ‘Go to Stuart... He’s the arty one.’ 

That was my first contact with the lads, and to be precise, it was already the first step towards John’s phone call, which wasn’t until six years later, when he asked me in the early summer of 1966: ‘Any idea for our next album cover?’

Genesis Publications has announced a Grammy Anniversary edition of Klaus Voormann’s book, Revolver 50: Birth of an Icon, limited to 450 copies. Klaus won a Grammy Award for the artwork on 2nd March 1967, the first of its kind for a rock album.

And in her eyes you see nothing, no sign of love behind the tears, cried for no one, a love that should have lasted years.

Revolver 50th Anniversary  by: DrawItAndrew // reallyfaster

Today, a day like this in 1966 was released one of the greatest albums ever recorded: Revolver, by The Beatles.

With songs like Tomorrow Never Knows, Love You To, Eleanor Rigby, I Want To Tell You, For No One, I’m Only Sleeping, She Said She Said, Good Day Sunshine, Got To Get You Into My Life, and many others this album ‘revolutionized’ the music in experimental ways.

This is not about the industries, is about the MUSIC!

Happy 50th Anniversary Revolver!
