Beatles Rare  Sgt. Pepper's  Lenticular Cover
<B>Beatles Rare "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" Lenticular Cover.</B></I> A quite rare 12" x 12" psychedelic lenticular cover prototype for the Beatles' groundbreaking 1967 album. One of a handful of such designs (see also the matching Cream <I>Disraeli Gears</B></I> cover also in this auction) by the Vari-Vue Company of New York, one of only three companies that made lenticular items at the time. The 3-D effect was used on toys, buttons, books, and clothing, but never really took off for use on album covers -- too bad, considering the striking effect it gave to this already stunning work of album art. In Excellent condition.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Large (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
