[edit] Father was involved

My father John Cockcroft was the head retoucher and director of colourcel, a london based retouching and dye transfer lab in the 1960's. Dad retouched both the abbey rd cover and stg peppers and i would love to give the insider info on how these covers where created by the person who did them and update this much negleted aspect of album cover artwork. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bitdepth (talk • contribs) 16:14, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cigarette

I don't know if this belongs here, but I heard that in some versions of the Abbey Road picture, a cigarette is blurred, or edited out or something. Is it true? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.212.159.171 (talk • contribs) 08:44, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
