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.

"John & Paul" Author Ian Leslie
Ian Leslie has written a new book titled “John & Paul: A Love Story in Songs” where he puts forth a fascinating premise: That John and Paul communicated to each other via song lyrics - during the Beatles years. Leslie says that Lennon and McCartney was an intense relationship, but while they wrote incredible songs together, they were unable to communicate their deep friendship to each other - so they camouflaged those feelings in songs. It’s a terrific read. Here’s a link to purchase the book. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
