Exactly a week ago, on 09.09.09, the entire original Beatles catalogue was re-released in a new digitally remastered format. True fans might be willing to spend $180 to buy The Beatles Stereo Box Set, but I’ve got a treat for everyone else. I obviously can’t the music without a hefty lawsuit, but can share the high resolution Album Artwork that I received in the Official Beatles Press Kit. If you are listening to your favorite Beatles tracks on an iPod, Zune, or other media device; throw in the official artwork to brighten things up! (Apple iTunes and Windows Media Player will allow embedding the artwork into your music.)
The download contains official album artwork for the original 12 studio albums by The Beatles. (Please Please Me, With The Beatles, A Hard Day’s Night, Beatles For Sale, Help!, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, The White Album, Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road, and Let It Be) The image above is a preview of what will be included. There’s a link to download a ZIP file below. All the files are JPG images in an amazing 1636×1482 resolution. Grab them and enjoy!
Download: the-beatles-remastered-album-art.zip (~4.6 MB)
Note: Download only contains JPG images, we never distribute spyware/malware/adware.
Buy: The Beatles on Amazon.com
Update: As requested, the ZIP above has been updated to include two more Beatles Album Art: Magical Mystery Tour and Past Masters. And it’s been updated again, now to also include The Beatles in Mono. (15 Album Covers Total)
Hey – I’ve improved the Sgt. Pepper official press-pack artwork – it was way over compressed – so I’ve re-done it in Photoshop using the large apple in the assets and the beatles logo taken from the Past Masters art.
Same resolution, but now as a PNG to avoid any re-compression.
Enjoy!

I’ve also done a mono “Beatles For Sale” – (thanks to Sahas for providing these high res versions!) – for those who like the authentic mono vinyl covers…you can choose between 2 versions – one is with the strip down the side with the Apple logo and The Beatles (a la the remasters) – one is without that.
Here it is in PNG! :)

The ZIP’s URL is now broken, can you please check it?
It looks like there is a problem with the URL to the ZIP, as Deep says.
This is what I get when I follow the link:
AccessDenied
Sorry there was obvously some XML tags in there that didn’t show up. I’ll try again where

Per Arne,
Thanks for the heads up! We were doing a server move and I guess some random files got lost. I’ve uploaded the file to our CDN, it should be accessible starting now!
Once again, I apologize to those that weren’t able to grab this file previously.
I downloaded the files, but I don’t see the mono album covers. Can you upload them please if you have them. I would greatly appreciate it.
mono covers aren’t included, ¿please add them!
Thanks. Juuuuust what i was looking for. excellent quality.
This was exactly what I needed. You rock.
Great stuff! Thanks!
It looks as if the zip link is broken again. I seem to get access denied as well.
Hey Matt,
It should be fixed. We had another server upgrade and looks like the link broke, yet again. Let me know if you still have any issues when trying to download that file.
Thanks! Seems to be working again. Very very greatful!
No problem, glad it’s working!
I am not seeing the mono album covers. Are these still available? Thanks for the great work!
Some kind of XML error is occurring when i try to download. Please help!!!
Please try again. It was my fault. I just enabled access to the file again right now!
Thanks a lot my good man! I just bought all Stereo and Mono box sets and all other recent released albums and scanning the images in high resolution, patching and cleaning them up takes time and a lot of effort, this saved me from all that! Thanks again!!
I also scanned the Beatles Mono album covers in a whopping 2000 x 2027 (800dpi) resolution, patched, fixed and cleaned front and back (inserts are optional). If you guys are interested I can share them.
If you are still reading this Buddy I would love what you have!!!
I have all the artwork for the stereo releases.
Here’s the booklet for Please Please Me:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OCYC8L2X
I really want the Mono Covers and the booklets would be a bonus. I was hoping to do a sort of trade where I would post the stereo and someone would post the mono, but as you have both sets you’re probably not interested in what I have.
ping – how about it?
Hey, I am looking for all of the other booklets if you have – was able to download Please Please Me – wondering if you have all the others? Think there are 14 in total???
Looking for the stereo booklets for all 14 Beatles albums to add to my collection. any chance you have them posted somewhere in super high res?
I have them all, they are all in the same format as the Please Please Me ones. I don’t have anything of a higher res.
But I want all the mono ones that Buddy has and if I give them away willy nilly I will have no bargaining power.
If I get some sort of Please Please Me Mono scans I will post the next one up. I promise.
Thanks. Wish I could barter with you. I am new to this – and have nothing to exchange. I was able to get the 14 albums in FLAC the other day, found the wonderful cover art on this link, and thought it would be nice to have the booklets to go along. If you are worried about publishing them – you can send them to me privately ;-)
Poor chris… I already have the booklets though, but I feel for you. Since Bobdu posted his scans of Please Please Me, here are the cover scans of the Mono album.
Included in this pack is the web version of the mono album cover with the apple logo. I also added a photo of the Stereo and mono CD cases for comparison, you will notice that the Mono cover image is a bit darker than the stereo cover http://www.mediafire.com/?nl9qvgpuw9uup1d.
I’ll post the other cover scans as Bobdu post other booklets. Hows that for barter? I’ll be posting the files in a limited time though, but I will allow it to be available for private requests.
Buddy – thanks! Happy New Year to you.
Bobdu – how about it?

Fantastic!!! Thank you Buddy =o)
Sorry for my late reply. As promised, here’s my end of the barter. One thing I’d like to point out about the print on With The Beatles album, if you look at the Parlophone logo on the upper left, you’ll notice that it’s a bit skewed. I’m not sure if this is a printing error during production or the guy who recreated the album cover screwed up. In any case, With The Beatles album packaging, like the Please Please Me album, the print is a bit darker in comparison with the Stereo prints. Also included in the bundle is the web version with the Apple logo and stuff. Here’s the link http://www.mediafire.com/?yazakjod89x9r08

Thank you Buddy, don’t worry about being late, I took 2 weeks before as I had loads on. You’re a star
You Guys ROCK! Please keep them coming. This is awesome.
Here’s A Hard Day’s Night mono cover, standard pack and I also threw in the high resolution full version of the iconic AHDN photo from the booklet. http://www.mediafire.com/?g5m97bt6ilgrz22

Thank you Buddy
and thanks for your messages Chris =o)
I have bad news. Megaupload has gone down and I wont be near the computer with all the Beatles artwork until March 28 to upload to an alternative. I uploaded them all thinking I would of been able to put them on here whenever I wanted and that they would have been live links for years to come.
not to worry. hopefully once you have time, and another method for sharing – we can keep the awesomeness going. Thanks again
Sorry for the late response, I was actually waiting for Chris’ feed back. Too bad MU had to be shut down, I’ve always had that insecure feeling whenever I use their service that’s why after three uses I searched for a different file host.
Sorry to hear that, but let us know when you get the time. It may be a bit late, but here’s my end of the barter. http://www.mediafire.com/?2danzxmp9d5b467
Let’s continue when you get back
Thanks Buddy and thanks Chris. I promise we will finish this ;o)
thanks guys! super excited to complete this adventure. those silly feds.
Hey guys – just wondering if we figured out a way to finish this off??
I just have to get around to uploading again. Hopefully before the end of this week or early next week. I have some extra things too, might be good might not.
I will use mediafire unless someone recommends something better
We’re back!!!
Thanks so much, this has been a huge help! (no pun intended…)

Thanks for being so patient with me Buddy, now wheres Chris =o)
Im right here! This is awesome. Thanks guys for helping – look forward to our continued work on this.
Sorry, I wasn’t able to reply a lot sooner. I’m away on a trip right now and I I won’t be back till this weekend, hopefully by then I’ll be able to continue.
No problem, just thought it was because I wrote it as a new message and didn’t link it to your message.
With much delay on my part, here is Mono Rubber Soul covers (front & back only) http://www.mediafire.com/?6i1px9ckrcxhrvl
This album marked the turning point in the Beatles’ musical career. Unlike previous album covers that sported the “MONO” logo, in Rubber Soul they just put it at the back on the upper right corner. This pack is missing the web version images since they stopped using the mono covers on the previous CD releases.
07Revolver
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?g3dcz1343clg35l
Good one Buddy =o)
Since I was so tardy last time I thought I’d make it up to you guys. Here’s Revolver Mono cover http://www.mediafire.com/?g72tbj2251po65f.
Though this one has the “Mono” logo printed on the upper right corner, some variants have the “Stereo” logo printed on it, but the common stereo covers that came out these days doesn’t seem to have that. Same as Rubber Soul, this one doesn’t contain the web versions since they discontinued using the mono covers from previous CD releases starting from Rubber Soul.

If you want buddy you could put everything else you have on and I will post the rest too
Will do, since the Mono collection only has until the white album. By the time Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road and Let It Be were all released the Beatles have abandoned the Mono format and released them all in stereo, so, yeah the Mono collection is three albums short.
Actually Buddy you could just carry on like you were.
After you put on Sgt Pepper I will put out Magical Mystery and Yellow submarine together.
Then White Album and Abbey Road
Then Let It Be and Past Masters.
Three goes then we’re done, unless something happens to Mediafire and delays it some more.
