Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Revolver (Beatles album)
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) The image accompanies commentary on the back cover of the Beatles' Revolver LP. (To aid readers' comprehension of the discussion, it is a colour outtake from the photo session that produced the grainy, black-and-white image used on the LP sleeve.) The picture shows the Beatles' new group image for 1966, which author and journalist Steve Turner notes as an aesthetic whereby the four band members "[dress] similarly yet with an individual stamp". As supported by commentary from author Jonathan Gould also, this trait reflected the band's creative approach to the Revolver album and their determination to break away from the past in terms of their career direction and public image. Turner comments on the Beatles' adoption of designs from the recently opened boutiques in Chelsea, and how this choice that was in keeping with the album's "Swinging London" influence and international recognition of the city's role as the fashion and musical capital of the era. The Daily Telegraph's 2009 review similarly links the group's "hipster suits and dark glasses" with the aesthetic that defines the album's musical adventurousness and symbolises the early, pre-Summer of Love, psychedelic period.
