I found it on Beatlefan's facebook page, but it didn't originate there. So far, I've been able to trace it back to it's pre-facebook appearance in a russian Beatles forum.
Interesting. Your original post said it started making the rounds on Facebook on Monday but I saw it there on Sunday so it might've been there before the Russians got a hold of it. Anyways, here's a ton of fun info on the cover. Your blogs have obviously influenced my thoroughness! http://yerdoingreat.wordpress.com/2013/01/23/famous-rockroll-image-outtakes-vol-2-rubber-soul/
Certainly more thorough than I've been able to be for the past year or so! You might want to correct the typo, not Roger but Robert Whitaker ;) Great blog!
Hi - one expert - who wants to remain unnamed - told me he is very confident that this is a photoshop recreation. Personally I cant imagine. Were light blue jeans avaiiable in 1965?
I had an original album with double printed overlapped picture.I took it back as a misprint!!!! Oh dear if I only had known.Bought in Brentwood Essex.England.Did anyone buy it after me;or did it get sent back to E.M.I ?
Just when you think you seen it all, some gem pops up out of nowhere to surprise and delight!

ReplyDeleteNothing beats the fish-eye. Except... knowing Dr. Winston O'Boogie is sporting pre-hipster wrecked serge de nimes!

ReplyDeleteJeans that have been put through the washer many times were certainly available.
