HISTORY: From The Beatles Rarity website
The packaging
The idea for the all-white jacket, while thought by many to be a concept of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, came from pop artist Richard Hamilton. Richard’s idea was to do something completely opposite of the elaborate nature of the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band cover. The simplicity approach was extended to the album’s name as well, going from a the long name of the “Sgt. Pepper” band to merely The Beatles. Beforehand, the band was considering naming the album A Doll’s House after the Henrik Ibsen play. Paul McCartney wasn’t initially keen on the plain white jacket idea but when Richard suggested embossing “The BEATLES” on the cover along with making each copy a numbered edition with it’s own unique serial number on the front of the jacket, he and the rest of the group were sold on it. Richard, then feeling sort of guilty issuing the next Beatles album adorned only in white, came up with the idea of inserts that would make up for this lack of photography. Paul was recruited to gather up various Beatles photos to be used to fashion a collage that would be made into a 23? x 34? poster. The lyrics were included on the back of the poster. Additionally a portrait-sized (7 3/4? x 10 3/4?) glossy color photo of each of The Beatles by John Kelly was included. By 1975, aside from some special commemorative issues, the covers were no longer embossed and “The BEATLES” was printed on them in black or dark gray (see above photos at right).
