Having seen some of his work in it's original form, I can offer the following: some of the scans look crude compared to the original artwork. The colors and contrast are so apart from the original images, most notable in 'With The Beatles'. That said, it's great to see them all together ... so much meaning in so few pixels! 'For The Record' is a chapter title from Robert Freeman's book "The Beatles - A Private View" - check it out if anyone wants more detail about the four covers he designed and photographed. If you are a collector and want gallery-quality framed and signed prints, you can contact him directly via his website - robertfreeman.net Regards, BJB "join the struggle against multi-mediocrity" I’ve been working with Robert Freeman for the past few months on his memoir – ONE LIFE.

I hate the fact that Apple, Inc.(US) cannot (or will not) make arrangements with Apple Corps Ltd.(UK) to provide the music AND the artwork through iTunes. Anyone with sense knows that they are two different entities. Music libraries are not complete without some great Beatles tunes. THANKS SO MUCH... (and folks, lets not work Sahas to death -- how about we read all of the posts to determine if we can answer our question(s) without more input from Sahas.) This is a really nice find!

Why doesn’t the album art import automatically when I import the tunes into iTunes from my purchased CDs? I thought that was a standard for any decent CD. What am I missing here? And thanks sooooooooooooooo much for your art files. WOW, it adds so much to the visceral experience of bringing back my youth. I grew up with these guys! Hey, I don’t understand something.
