The Beatles began working on the design for the packaging of their “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” album about two months before the recording sessions ended. Their friend and art dealer Robert Fraser suggested that they ask the pop artists Peter Blake and his then-wife Jann Haworth to create the album artwork. Over a series of meetings held at Paul McCartney’s London home, EMI Studios at Abbey Road, or the artists’ home, the concept for the cover started to take shape.
On this day, Paul McCartney attended the recording of George Harrison’s “Within You Without You.” Afterwards, according to “The Beatles Diary Volume 1: The Beatles Years” by Barry Miles, he had dinner with Peter Blake and Jann Haworth at his home.
There was a lot of running to and fro. I went out a couple of times to Peter [Blake]’s and he came to Cavendish Avenue a couple of times. Robert [Fraser] would say, ‘Do you mind if we do this?’ or “This would be great,’ and ‘Peter would like to do this,’ ‘Peter wants to go to Madame ‘Tussauds and he wants to use your waxwork models and Sonny Liston’s.’ So it was great, great, great. It was really developing fine.
Paul McCartney – From “Paul McCartney: Many Years from Now” by Barry Miles, 1997
The Beatles Diary Volume 1: The Beatles Years
"With greatly expanded text, this is the most revealing and frank personal 30-year chronicle of the group ever written. Insider Barry Miles covers the Beatles story from childhood to the break-up of the group."
We owe a lot to Barry Miles for the creation of those pages, but you really have to buy this book to get all the details - a day to day chronology of what happened to the four Beatles during the Beatles years!
