The Beatles - Revolver
Revolver won a Grammy Award for Best Album Cover, Graphic Arts. The cover illustration was created by German-born bassist and artist Klaus Voormann, one of the Beatles' oldest friends from their time in Hamburg during the early 1960s. Voormann's illustration, part line drawing and part collage, included photographs by Robert Whitaker, who also took the back cover photographs and many other images of the group between 1964 and 1966.
To create the Revolver cover, Voormann also used personal photos supplied by the band members, which, in his words, 'show their sweet side'. Voormann's own photograph as well as his name (Klaus O.W. Voormann) is worked into Harrison's hair on the right-hand side of the cover.
