An astonishing, prototype Sgt. Pepper LP cover lenticular flasher display. The Vari-Vue Company, from Mt. Vernon, New York, was one of the only three companies creating this flasher technology. They affixed it to everything from kiddie rings, buttons and bubble gum machine rings, to sneakers and album covers. By far, the most famous of these covers was the Rolling Stones’ “Their Satanic Majesties Request”, in which the original issue featured an 8 x 8” 3-D cover attachment that changed as it (or your head) moved from side to side. Vari-Vue also made these in larger size samples as well. In fact, a 12 x 12” version, that we sold in our June 2005 auction, went for over $6000. Vari-Vue made thousands of items that included The Beatles, Elvis, Mickey Mouse and sports and political figures as subject matter. Another LP cover they created was for The Band’s “Captain Beyond”. We have had many associates whom had often visited Vari-Vue in the early 1970’s. When they finally closed their doors, they held a big auction, selling off their extensive inventory. Kay Anderson, the owner of the company, also confirmed that in order to drum-up business, she created several prototype LP cover ideas, following the success and pure-coolness of the Stones cover. Here is your opportunity to own one of these special prototypes in a 12 x 12” (full album cover size). The detail and three-dimensional effect on this is incredible and possibly surpasses the (more often seen) Stones LP cover! NM.
