Mr Moonlight (Remastered 2009)

This “Mr.

Moonlight” is a song released in 1962 by R&B singer Piano Red under the name Dr.

Feelgood & the Interns, but you might be more familiar with the Beatles’ cover version in the video.

Apparently, the Beatles were so busy at the time that they couldn’t devote enough time to songwriting and didn’t have enough original material for the album, so they included cover songs—and this was one of them.

John Lennon’s shout at the beginning of the track is cool and unforgettable.

With A Little Help From My Friends

The album covers of the Beatles, the most famous rock band in the world, are all iconic and have influenced countless aspects of culture, spawning innumerable parodies.

Among them, the artwork for Sgt.

Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band stands out not only as a masterpiece of album cover design, but as a work of art in its own right for its sheer completeness.

Conceived by Paul McCartney of the Beatles and finalized by British pop artist Peter Blake and his wife, Jann Haworth, the artwork reportedly cost £3,000 to produce—equivalent to more than £50,000 today—and ultimately became a historic masterpiece, artwork included.

The piece itself is conceptual, presenting a “show by a fictional band,” and the cover—featuring the Beatles in the guise of the Sgt.

Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band alongside prominent cultural figures of the time and important historical personalities—perfectly ties into the album’s concept.

If you’re curious about who appears in this quintessential piece of 1960s culture, be sure to look it up!
