ASTRAM - Sgt. PEPPER

ASTRAM - Sgt. PEPPER'S - BEATLES

The iconic cover of the Beatles' 1967 album is considered by critics to be their greatest work and one of the most influential albums in the history of popular music, ranking, among others, at the top of the list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time."
Recorded over a period of 129 days, it is the first rock album to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, and the cover receives the Grammy in the graphics arts category.

The drum skin bearing the album title was painted by carnival artist Joe Ephgrave, who at the time did not know he was creating one of the most emblematic works of pop art. In a corner, a Shirley Temple doll wearing a sweater reading "Welcome The Rolling Stones" winked discreetly.

Ultimately, the Beatles embraced their own mythology while toying with it. Perhaps that is why it remains as relevant as ever.

The ASTRAM parody blends the 20 characters (apart from the Beatles) who appeared - or not? - on this cover and playfully hides certain details as a nod to this Flower Power period flourishing among one of the best rock bands in the world.
