On February 20th 1963, The Beatles posed on the 2nd floor balcony at EMI House for the cover for their debut album 'Please, Please Me'. But this wasn't their first attempt at getting that cover shot, nor was it the last. In this video we trace the history of the album cover, from concept to manufacture, including the untold story of Garrod & Lofthouse, the company which printed all The Beatles UK album covers and how all the original negatives for the album cover were accidentally destroyed.
