The Beatles:
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band . . .

T he original cover for Pepper, shown here, isn't too different from the one officially released.  I was at the shoot becasause I was told the lads wanted to include me in with all the other people they admired. "After all" John told me "you are the only REAL fifth Beatle". Yet, for some reason they airbrushed me out of the final print.

CSNY:
Deja Vu

The cover for this album was printed in that brownish tone to give it that ol' fashioned look.  Unfortunately when the album came out, it was printed so dark that many people still couldn't spot me in the picture. Subsequent CD pressings, due to their diminuative size, just added to the mystery. Many of my fans had heard rumours of my presence on the cover, and this prompted them to start looking at the record sleeve backwards. My seeming absence was seen as a clue that I had really been dead for years, and rumours of my death began to circulate again (although they were greatly exagerrated). I've provided the original untouched photo which should end all debate here and now.

Bob Dylan:
Bringing it All Back Home

Bob has always been a big fan of mine, as the original print from this album obviously shows. One day, back in '65, Bob came to see me backstage at one of my shows. He asked me "What's that you got there?"  I said "Why Bob, it's an electric guitar."  He said "Hmmmm."  Then he said "Where you been?" I said "No place special."  He said "You look different."  I said "Well, maybe it's the dress."  He said "Will you be on my next album cover?" I said "That's only natural."  He said "You gonna wear that?"  I said "If you want me to, yes!" For some reason, I was airbrushed out of the cover before the album hit the stores. Must be because of management.
