Abbey Road album cover

[ivory]

I am not sure if this falls under this topic at all (me being the total idiot I am). I did my first vector of Abbey Road, and a good friend of mine has a poster the album cover on his wall. Well, He said the cig Paul is holding in my vector was not on his poster. I was just wondering if there was an other shot almost exactly the same, but without the cig?

They censored it out in later years because seeing someone smoke is no longer politically correct.

I thought that might be it. The same thing with a simon and garfunkel album

WTF is wrong with this world?

Apparently, Faul permitted them to do so both for that poster and for future CD releases of "Abbey Road." Then Apple sued because the poster idea was supposed to have been scrapped, but reportedly went ahead unauthorized.

Just what is your definition of unauthorized, Faul?

Ivory, look at where Faul is standing next to the other Beatles on the Abbey Road cover. Look at the feet but not the barefootedness...

What about Faul's feet?

Please notice:
"Paul's" face in the two covers (the offical and the "alternative" one) is a photomontage.
Faul's body + TRUE James Paul's face.

sun king are you sure that this is james pauls head on abby raod? i always thought that pic looked like james paul but thought it was just a convincing shot of faul,
but after seeing the other photo's it makes the case of a photomontage very likely
sun king you are
