THE BEATLES Abbey Road REPARKED EDITION Rare LP Sleeve Beetles VW PROMO. Condition is New. Shipped with USPS Media Mail.
From Car and Driver:
“You know what you've probably never noticed in the background on The Beatles' iconic Abbey Road album cover? The white Volkswagen Beetle. Volkswagen of Sweden is hoping to change that and has taken the extreme measure of removing the band from the photo altogether.
The reason: The Beetle was untidily parked up on a curb in the original photo.
The changed image is for a good cause: to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Abbey Road album and to raise money for a children's charity in Sweden. It's also to promote Park Assist technology on new Volkswagens.
Volkswagen Sweden has re-created the image with a few key modifications. Most importantly, John, Paul, George, and Ringo are nowhere to be found. The Beetle has been repositioned so that it's fully parked on the street, rather than partially on the curb. And the other cars on the street are modern, rather than the '60s-era London cabs and other unidentifiable vehicles in the background of the original.”
Included in this auction is the rare VW reparked sleeve and a sealed copy of the new Giles Martin 50th Anniversary Remix. Both come in nice resealable sleeves.
I ship with proper LP mailers to avoid damage.
