REVOLVER COVER STORYTELLING

REVOLVER COVER

1966

The Beatles departed from their earlier records and pushed the boundaries of rock and pop music by releasing their innovative and seminal album Revolver. Capturing The Beatles’ new direction, and visually representing their sound, Klaus Voormann’s Revolver cover artwork became instantly iconic.

Unlike to the album cover artwork I was commisioned by Northern Songs LTD to design
the covers of the complete Revolver sheet music. I limited it to 4 different cover motifs each motif in 3 different colours.

MILESTONE OF MY LIFE

2022

The Beatles’ REVOLVER album is a milestone in popular music history and cover artwork. Latter is „THE“ milestone of my graphic work. Many people – myself included – have been waiting a long time for the release of a box set. Finally sales launch is scheduled for October 28. Beside 4 other physical products, there are 2 Super Deluxe Box Sets – one CD- and one Vinyl edition. I am pleased to be part of it by collecting a short version (7 pages) of my graphic novel for the attached hardcover book. You can find the whole Story, inter alia as detailed graphic novel, in my book „birth of an icon REVOLVER 50“.

During the next weeks I am going to tell you more about the exciting topic „REVOLVER“. Some things may be new to you.
