 You can see a lot of references like abbey road, Lucy in the sky, strawberry fields, penny lane, yellow submarine etc, and the apple store and them on the rooftops and when they used to be the quarry men. I’m not sure what some of the others ones are like CCCP air, that might be in reference to back in the ussr |

The scanner/printer in your home scans the image and make a jpeg copy and that is what I do if I want the best possible copy. That said if I just want to show off a drawing I usually take a photo with my phone. Back in the days when I worked in studio graphics I would produce what is known as camera ready copy (text and illustrations) which would then be placed in a camera like this one…  Things have changed and nowadays they use industrial scanners.

Interesting.......there's actually a handgun attached to the side of the building the band is playing on. On the surface, you might think that could be a reference to "Happiness is a Warm Gun"........however, John Lennon is on record as saying he started writing the song after looking at a copy of George Martin's American Rifleman magazine (publication put out by the National Rifle Association (N.R.A.)): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happiness_Is_a_Warm_GunKinda makes me think that if that WERE the reference being elicited here, that they might have attached a rifle to the building. Wonder, if instead, it is actually a subtle reference to Mark David Chapman's weapon of choice.....   SAVE FERRIS

I think it might be reference to happiness is a warm gun.. but could be intentionally left to be open to interpretation Yeah.....maybe totally random, and not really meant as a (direct) Beatle reference at all.....just seems VERY oddly coincidental showing up in a piece of artwork CRAMMED with Beatle references all over the place..... Well, I'm off.......now I've gotta see if maybe they've also included a reference to the kitchen knife that George Harrison's attacker, Michael Abram, used to stab him more than 40 times in 1999 !!

I think the rooftop concert is more likely the famous performance they give (with Billy Preston on keyboards) on the roof of their studio when they were recording their last album, "Let It Be." It stopped traffic and the cops had to come up and tell them to knock it off. The documentary film of the same title as the album (1969).
