To paraphrase Sergeant Pepper: “It was 40 years ago today …” (Be sure to watch the video.) Wouldn’t you love to be there today?
Hopeless Anglophile that I am, Abbey Road is my favorite Beatles’ cover. But it’s odd because in all the times I’ve been to England, I’ve never visited the very famous zebra crossing. Perhaps because I was four when the Beatles split up and the music of individual band members was on the soundtrack of my youth. (Yeah, I got stuck listening to the Wings!) I have been to the Salford Lads Club … any guesses why?
I was trying to think of other cover art that includes images of British life. All I can think of this morning is the cover art for the Sex Pistols’ single of “God Save the Queen,” plus the aforementioned album featuring the lads club. Can you think of more? Please add them to the comments.

The Smiths’ ‘The Queen Is Dead’ is my favourite album – I’ve never been to Salford Lads Club though – despite going to University in the North West area. Oh the shame! Ha ha.
