Can we get a post here?Now I'm usually very skeptical about ANYBODY touching on something from the Fab catalog without butchering the originals like the Beatles did to those dolls on the initial "Yesterday..and Today" sleeve,but curiosity ALWAYS gets the better of me in these cases.I know I could probably look for this on You Tube myself,but i think it would be wonderful if everyone here could see this and I'm computer literate enough to know how to transfer videos.I know you're good on these things,Lemonade Kid.

Meet the Residents is great. Nice satire of the Meet the Beatles cover

Which wasn't original in its own right - those photos set in shadow owe a LOT to Astrid Kischers pix of the Beatles over in Hamburg!

ah, Hamburg Days! kinda like boot camp for our boys (minus Ringo, plus Stu/Pete)

imagine having to live like that now for a touring band at the Top Ten Club!

Wonder if they still have the skull for the live shows; apparently someone STOLE the eye!
