he designed the album cover for sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band by the beatles
The cover of the Abbey Road album shows all four members of The Beatles in the middle of a crosswalk. It was their eleventh studio album and the last one that they would release.
I believe that was the American released album, Yesterday and Today. The original 'butcher' album cover had The Beatles in white butchers' outfits, covered in decapitated baby dolls and meat. This was considered offensive so the cover was changed.
Siouxie and the Banshees came along after the Beatles; the band covered 'Helter Skelter' on their first album, The Scream, released in 1978. Siouxsie and the Banshees' second Beatles' cover, 'Dear Prudence', was released on their 6th album, Hyæna, in 1984.
It is a reissue. Original issues also have a glossy finish to the cover.
