The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl Original Album Art
When Capitol was designing the Hollywood Bowl album cover in 1977 they decided to use a pair of concert tickets for the cover. Perhaps not having access to complete original Beatles Hollywood Bowl tickets, or maybe because the original tickets did not have a photo on them, they made up their own imitations using ticket styles from the Shea Stadium concerts as well as 1975 Hollywood Bowl shows by Joan Baez and America. In the process, they incorrectly printed the day as "Sat." (instead of "Sun.") on both tickets.
Shown in my pictures are three advance proofs of the tickets. The first two are the ones used for the album cover, but with one final change- Capitol deleted their logo, which was on their earlier designs.
The third ticket makes the story even more interesting, as it shows the correct day of "Sun.". Since the Capitol logo is absent, one can assume that it was made AFTER the other versions - so somewhere along the way the wrong artwork was submitted to the printer. Capitol was immediately informed of the error, as proven by a letter sent to them in July of 1977 by a Beatle fan from Holliston, MA., and directed to their art department. They may have ignored the letter, or perhaps considered the matter trivial, as it was never corrected for later vinyl and tape pressings.
Included: the original release still sealed album showing Capitol's tickets. The photo used behind the tickets was an actual shot of The Beatles on stage at the Bowl, but the curved background of the building was blended in using a then-current photograph.
The original tickets from both Hollywood Bowl concerts were quite different from the ones that Capitol made. Only a handful of Hollywood Bowl complete tickets exist today in collectors' hands. These tickets are near the top of the list in historical significance and value.
This is one of the Hollywood Bowl tickets from non-Beatle concerts in 1975 that Capitol used in the design of the Beatles tickets for the album cover.
