ALTERNATE & REJECTED ALBUM COVER MOCK-UPS

Some covers are replicas of rejected album artwork (The Beatles Again), others feature rare outtakes of iconic covers (Abbey Road & Sgt. Pepper, et. al.), while others offer a glimpse of close calls (Butcher Cover with a slight twist)! There are outright fantasy covers such as The Christmas Album & a re-imagined White Album design, as if it had been originally released as a single album!
Finally, there are a few extras like the alternate Sgt. Pepper cutouts, a different White Album poster, four alternate White Album portraits and three-picture sleeves for singles that never had the customized sleeves (Hey Jude, Get Back and Something)!
Before reading the description, please read the following:
    
      1) These are mock-ups of the famous Beatles LP covers, much like what an art department would create to show a client how their  product would look and feel once manufactured. Before production would begin, final decisions regarding the cover and an ancillary details would be finalized.

      2) Artwork is the emphasis and the pieces are meant for display purposes only.

      3) The shrink wrap is intended to stay sealed (comes shrink wrapped and placed inside a resealable clear polypropylene sleeve).
    
      4) The vinyl inside each jacket is not by The Beatles, but is included to give the heft and feel of an actual release. 

       5) There is no image on the inside of gate fold albums (Eight Arms To Hold You, Sgt. Pepper & Magical Mystery Tour). Keep Sealed!

       6) All single LP's are constructed in the original Capitol style of a two-slick jacket.

       7) The paper used in the construction is not meant to be handled without shrink wrap. Keep Sealed!
