I think mine might be With The Beatles. Not the obvious choice, I know, and not one of their 'iconic' covers either but I dunno, I like the simplicity of it, the sombre-ness, the fact that George looks so young still….

I totally agree- they look gorgeous in those polo-necked jumpers, and the black-and-white is cool. I like the way that they're all sombre and mysterious on the WTB cover, in contrast to the happy moptops on the PPM cover. Its another one of their never-do-the-same-thing-twice things. They kept looking for new and suprising ideas.

My other favourite cover is Revolver because its original yet classy- not gaudy like Sgt Pepper.

My favourite is definitely Revolver. I like sgt. Pepper and With the Beatles too and I think A Hard Day's Night is cute.

I don't really like Beatles for Sale. They all look tired and old and that thing on George's hair isn't doing much good either. And MMT looks like some kid did it on Paint.

Beware of sadness. It can hit you. It can hurt you. Make you sore and what is more, that is not what you are here for. - George

Haha, Please Please Me is one of my least-favourites! I love the concept, and the photograph itself, but all that ugly lettering really clutters it up. Especially that huge yellow THE BEATLES in all-caps – yellow is a colour that I particularly dislike. But I realize that pop-music albums aimed at young people weren't expected to have cutting-edge graphic design in those days.

Really, I think 1962-1966 uses the same concept in a so much nicer setting – attractive uniform red border all around and nothing encroaching on the photograph itself.

I like black music, disco music. I like the disco music that's out now - John Lennon, 1975
