Sergei Sviatchenko

When I was in sixth grade my parents bought me a black pigskin satchel. It had any number of pockets, a golden lock and a little key. Seen in profile it looked like an accordion.  This was where I kept my first Beatles records, and, as far as I can remember, they were ‘Please, Please me’ and ‘Meet the Beatles’. Since there was no cover on my copy of ‘Meet the Beatles’ I had to make one myself. This home-made design was a great success, and the cover was later used as the original when exchanging records.
