Cover-nostalgi: Sgt. Pepper’s lonely Hearts Club Band
31. marts 2008Man kommer jo heller ikke uden om The Beatles’ hovedværk, når talen falder på særlige albumcovers. Den berømt forside med alle figurerne, som man skulle gå på opdagelse i. Og var det et begravelsesbillede? Uniformsbilledet på indersiden. Den rødfarvede inderpost. Udklipsarket. Og sangtekstnner bagpå.
