Many thanks for posting.
I'm not so fond of the reference to "The Beatles 1962" in the centre, but I do find the remainder of the image a very interesting and courageous stylistic deviation for Peter Blake — given especially the subject matter, considered almost sacred for some.
For me, this screenprint brings to mind the work of other artists, including Group Shot (2008) by Charming Baker:

Peter Blake Beatles Screenprint £295, by tomega on Feb 18, 2016 2:18:51 GMT 1, Brilliant heads-up Winter but also very fortuitous that I happened to be dipping into the forum tonight before popping off to bed.
I have always liked this print but missed out on getting it at its initial release price and only ever saw it available at the £500 price. For me £295 is a great price for a 20 colour screen print and I ain't in the least bit bothered by edition size. Also it will be my first Peter Blake print. I have a small painting by Rose Blake so now it's nice that I'll also have a print by her father.
I actually think it's great that it has a painterly look to it, I really like that. I saw an image online of the original painting and thought that looked great too. Much rather have this silkscreen print over some of the ink jet or giclee images I have seen. Besides which I'm a scouser who grew up listening to Beatles curtesy of my dad. However, I'm now living in Coventry so this print will also represent a link to my birth place.
Very happy to have purchased this, once again thanks Winter.

Peter Blake Beatles Screenprint £295, by Happy Shopper on Feb 18, 2016 14:27:58 GMT 1, Surprised by the reaction to this. Absolute classic image from Peter Blake's mid 60s paintings.
Should be a nice screen print too with 20 colours!
Have to admit I've not bought it though, as I'm holding off from too many prints right now! Might regret that!!

Peter Blake Beatles Screenprint £295, by darrenrapley on Feb 18, 2016 20:47:43 GMT 1, I actually have this and it is framed. Always get mixed reactions - not everyones cup of tea and the fake tan comments are valid...
I seem to remember reading somewhere that it is unfinished. Blake had an argument with them over something or rather. The white boxes were where they were meant to put their signatures.
So, against most peoples (better) judgement, I quite like this.
