Jsut out of curiosity, does the British edition of Anth.3 have the patch
of cover from the United States-"Hard Day's Night" LP on the cover, or
is it replaced with a bit of the British LP cover?


Can't believe I'm actually asking this,

Both are identical. Further, A3 has sections of *both* Hard Day's Night
LPs. The US one is in the upper center, the UK one is in the lower
right--exactly where a very similar (one panel is changed) bit of the same
cover is on A2.

It's the same.

I find the artwork for Anthology 3 curiously inappropriate. All those
snips from earlier, unrepresented albums like Pepper, Help, Hard Day's
Night, Revolver, etc. and there's NOTHING taken from the White Album!!
Considering that these sessions account for over half the album, this
seems like a very poor choice to me. And sure, the White Album's cover art
isn't usable, but what about the 8 x 10 band photos? The poster? This
stuff should've been cut up somehow and used.

I criticized the artwork on A3 also on an earlier post. I liked the other
two better because the main photo was a non-album cover. On A3 the main
photo is Let it Be and the rest are other album covers. Does not give it
a uniqueness. But if the artist wanted to use covers he surely should
have brought in an element of the white album which is half the record.
You mention that this is impossible due to the all white cover. I
disagree. He could have torn the out the diagonal "The Beatles" and
placed it in the exact location on his collage. This would have been a
nice touch. But as I said the main attraction should have been a
non-album photo. You also mention that there should not be any old
photos. But I think he did that on purpose as they were the "Get Back"
sessions.
With all that said. I hate collages.
