Beatles artwork from The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics (Volume 1, published 1969 and Volume 2 published 1971) by graphic designer and illustrator, Alan Aldridge, who passed away on the 17th February 2017. The John Lennon image was to accompany A Hard Day’s Night. It shows John asleep while “he walks through his brain”.

Artist and designer Alan Aldridge first discovered the charms of the female body as a canvas when he painted his wife four years ago for a book poster. Since then it has become quite a habit with him, and his model on this occasion — actress and singer Jane Birkin — was one of a growing line of his painted girls. For her, however, it was a new experience. “I had flowers painted on my face for a film in India,” she recalls, “but the heat just melted them and they cried down my face..." Incredible piece from The Telegraph Magazine, December 1969, about body painting. They credit Aldridge with kick-starting the phenomenon, and there are also works by Peter Blake, Ralph Steadman and John Astrop on actresses Imogen Hassall, Marsha Hunt and Veronica Carlson.

The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Rock (NEW 1978 Edition) - #eltonjohn ‘s Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy (June 1975), an autobiographical account-in-song of his and #bernietaupin ‘s early hardships, which some critics felt indicated an inflated sense of the duo’s own importance. Expensively packaged, with sleeve artwork by artist #alanaldridge , it nevertheless took the artist’s sales potential to a new peak — going to No. 1 in the U.S. album charts in the first week of it’s release (and staying there right through the summer.) “For cheap easy meals, hardly a home on the range. Too hot for the band with a desperate desire for change!” #rockandroll #mcarecords #captainfantasticandthebrowndirtcowboy https://www.instagram.com/p/CH9QqpZL-tn/?igshid=pd544psxnuaq
