    I think that this is a really interesting story, and I have come across it somewhere before. The fact that Paul had a copy of this record is strong evidence. But what was Peter Blake's input? If he didn't come up with the idea it's hard to know why he was commissioned. We know he has been disgruntled about the small £200 fee (I suspect the Beatles refused to renegotiate for fear that everyone they ever dealt with would produce new claims); but if he didn't come up with the design then he wasn't really employed as an artist / designer. Does anyone know he Blake has claimed to have thought of the cover design?

    Extract from Wikipedia's entry for Sgt Pepper "Sgt. Pepper's album cover was designed by the pop artists Peter Blake and Jann Haworth from an ink drawing by McCartney. It was art-directed by Robert Fraser and photographed by Michael Cooper."

    Thanks. I must have the details in some of my books but felt a bit lazy. So if Macca did come up with the original idea he might well have based on this record.
