Get in line for signed Sgt. Peppers

Get in line for signed Sgt. Peppers

Peter Blake signed Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band screen prints.

Hands down one of the most famous album covers of all time, Snap Studios has been promoting limited edition Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band screen prints signed by co-creator Sir Peter Blake.

The Beatles tapped the UK pop artist know for his popular culture infused collages to produce a cover for its alter ego. Beatles’ lore tells the story that Paul came up with the idea that the band should write as this new creation allowing members to head into territories that they would not naturally go as the fab four.

The album cover embraces the idea of breaking free from The Beatles taking it one step further, or maybe four, creating the funeral for the most popular band in the world.

At the time, Just as the Beatles were everything. rock and roll was the now music and Peter Blake was an artist in step with the rhythm of the times.

The album cover is timeless and brilliant distillation of a moment in 1967.

Sir Peter Blake went on to produce a number of other great album covers. None of which matched the notoriety of Sgt. Peppers, although 1984’s Do They Know It’s Christmas? Band Aid cover ain’t too shabby.

This is a door crasher for fans of album art. Before I hit publish, Snap Studios had quickly sold two copies of these limited edition Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band screen prints. They promise to get more and you can put your name down on a waiting list as more come in here.
