The Beatles - Magical Mistery Tour / Yellow Submarine
Unofficial Release - Single sleeve
The cover of the Russian edition of 'Sgt. Pepper’s' has been modified with the addition of small Easter eggs scattered here and there, compared to the original published in 1967.
The cover designer, Nikolai Kibalchich, decided in his reworking of the cover to add and replace three faces amongst the 61 on the original cover, as well as converting all the text into Cyrillic.
Firstly, he added his own portrait between those of Marlon Brando and Tom Mix; in the top row, the face of Andrei Tropillo (founder of the Russian label AnTrop) was added; finally, he replaced the face of Karl Marx with that of Kolya Vasin (a Beatles fan and collector).
This single-sleeve edition features only the faces of Ringo and John printed on the back, unlike the folded version, which has portraits of all four Fab Four on the inside. There is an equally rare version featuring the faces of Paul and George on the back.
