Jann and Peter Blake designed what Rolling Stone called the “greatest album cover of all time.” The story behind that album cover is fascinating. Remarkably, Jann and Peter never heard the album before designing the cover, how the faces were chosen is surprising, and Jann explodes quite a few myths surrounding the Sgt. Pepper cover. A must listen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
