Interesting. Looks like you photoshopped the Beatles from the CD cover (colour) into the black and white picture. The difference is evidenced by the man with the suitcase (between Ringo and John), who is not in the picture of the CD cover.

What I did was just overlay the chroma from the cd cover onto the uncropped monochrome photograph. At first I was bothered by only half of the buildings appearing as brown, then realised that it was much better to have all the background in black and white and just The Beatles in colour. Do you get it? The Beatles in colour walking through the drab monochrome streets of postwar Britain, leading the way.

Actually, looking at that picture again, even ignoring the colour aspect they do actually look like beings who've just arrived from another planet don't they?

very nice. The question I ask myself is "why did Lord Reith make a color version of the BBC photo?"
