I forgot to show y'all the quilt my mom made me for my birthday!!

the red squares are hey jude, white are lennon-mccartney/all you need is love, and the back is lined with fleece 'good day sunshine'♥️

(and of course, rubber soul, sgt pepper, and abbey road are in the middle, my favorite albums♥️)

(and a picture taken in the white album shoots I think?)

on the inner corner there's an embroidered patch that says 'golden slumbers'

hope y'all appreciate this, my mom did amazing work :-)

John sees Paul got rid of his his moustache after Sgt Pepper and asks him to help shave his off as well so they match. They end up shaving other things, too.

Every time I listen to When I’m Sixty-Four the lyrics ‘in the summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight/if it’s not too dear’ make me laugh because Sgt. Pepper was released in 1967, when The Beatles were at their peak, and they’re like “ooh no I don’t wanna spend too much money…fingers crossed you still love me teehee please cook dinner” like they really tried so hard to make those lyrics relateable huh

Jann Haworth was the artist who made the Sgt Pepper cover.

She will always happily say that it was 50/50 between her and her husband at the time, Peter Blake, but imo her name should go first in that collaboration. And instead she is so often not mentioned.

This is not one of those things where it was his work and she just helped a little. It was a joint project. Some people's account of it says that Robert Fraser originally brought the project to both of them from the very start. She was a known and brilliant artist who knew Robert well, and had already exhibited at his gallery, so it seems likely to me. But even if it was originally brought to Peter Blake, she was certainly involved from the design stages, right through to completion.

She freely gives Peter credit for the idea of it, the idea of the crowd of heroes behind the beatles, but she suggested they do it in her style not his - ie as standing silhouettes, rather than paper collage - which meant she had the experience and the skills to actually create the thing. She came up with the floral arrangements so it wouldn't be ruined with graphics. She did the majority of the work.

She's super well adjusted about the whole thing, she tends to set people right about it when they claim she's copying his work, rather than continuing her own in her more recent pieces. You can read interviews with her here, here, or here.

One of my litmus tests for beatles books is whether they mention her at all. They don't mostly, because they'd rather die than actually question anything. But if you think it wasn't known until more recently then know that George Martin in 'Summer of Love' in 1995 credits her fully as a co-creator. It was never a secret.

"Along with the Pepper tableaux cloth figures, Jann Haworth came up with a number of other original ideas for the venture. [...] She said that it would be very nice not to have real lettering on the Sgt Pepper cover but to do something like that kind of civic flower-bed lettering. [...] Jann spent a long time building a background, a scene against which the Beatles would be photographed, hanging the first row of photos on the studio wall, then fixing the other blow-ups on poles and spacing them in tiers at intervals of a foot or so, to give the picture the illusion of depth. Haworth also did all the hand tinting of the original black and white photographs." Summer of Love, George Martin

(Most of the sites where I found pictures of the Sgt Pepper making, DO NOT NAME HER at all, much less credit her in photos, but here she is, creating the album cover with her bare hands, while Peter Blake stands around.)

I know none of this is probably news to anyone much around here. I just needed to rant about it, having seen this quote from peter blake. It's just hilarious to me that he's complaining about the lack of money, after he's benefited from all the fame and credit for it over the years, and meanwhile she's left out of the story entirely... it's just so incredibly male of him. Any time he doesn't immediately set his interviewer straight about how that album cover was made is a disgrace. (Also his whining that he's only remembered for Sgt Pepper is a lot like when John would whine that people played Yesterday to him... if you're going to try and take ALL the credit for something, you can't complain when people tell you their favourite bit was the bit your partner was responsible for.)

I love every single song on Sgt.Pepper but Fixing A Hole is just.. this fucking line just hits me over the head often

#this song is a Magritte painting #people are like oh Paul was so happy in '67 no he fucking wasn't mf was struggling #I mean living is struggle but this boy was so mentally unwell that year..#he was peaking but he was really low in the head #I would like to hug '67 Paul and tell him 'the worst is yet to come' 🗿😭#fixing a hole #sgt pepper #'67 #the beatles #paul mccartney

John: *has accidentally taken lsd, is having a bad trip, is clearly distressed and has to be stopped by George M. from jumping off the roof of Abbey Road Studios*

Paul: oh shit. John’s in trouble.

Paul: I should do something to help him.

Paul: ...

Paul: *takes some lsd too*
