Thanks to @Long_live_rock_n_roll for reminding me that #Revolver by #TheBeatles was released on 5 August 1966.
The cover was by the Beatles’ old Hamburg friend, artist and musician #KlausVoormann. I thought my version below came out okay, but there was a lot of detail in the photo collage which was hard to replicate.
