Afternoon Maddies,

For anyone interested, I've typed up a small article from today's Daily
Record in Scotland. The link is Beatles - Peter Bake - Ian Dury - Madness
:-) Sorry Iain - couldn't see it in The Sun!!


BEATLES ART BATTLE

Top 60's pop artist Peter Blake, who created the sleeve for the Beatles'
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, is to sue EMI over his artwork.

Blake, who specialises in collages, was paid just £200 for his work - and
believes he should get a greater reward given the importance of the cover.

Blake, who taught the late Ian Dury at art school, has admitted to being
"rather cheesed off". He said "I've never had a penny since and I feel I
should have. The cover was a large part of the concept, and my contribution
should have been recognised as such".

Regards,

Mr.G
