The Beatles - Rubber Soul - 1965

The cover art is by the English photographer and graphic
designer Robert Freeman (1936 - 2019).

Freeman had taken some pictures at Lennon's house and
showed them by projecting them onto an album-sized piece
of cardboard to simulate how they would appear on the cover.
The unusual Rubber Soul album cover came to be when the
slide card fell slightly backwards
, elongating the projected
image of the photograph and stretching it.
Excited by the effect, they shouted, "Ah! Can we have that?
Can you do it like that?
" Freeman said he could.
