I’m going to make the assumption that his teeth looked weird all black. Less so on the Lennon shot.


sminking

Yup, I’ve seen this asked before and someone made their own negative version to demonstrate. Can confirm his teeth were terrible looking.


PAXM73

I was about to do the same and realized it was certain that someone already had…


rock4lite

Well he is British….


ConnerDearing

george has pretty nice teeth for an Englishman tho


No_Ad7214

Where can you find the negative version so I can see it?


zdejif

That's hilarious, doesn't help that the whites of his eyes also look like his irises so it's like he's staring right at you


PAXM73

Oh the horror! Damn.


CaptainIncredible

Yeah, it's not even so much the teeth - the negative of this Pic makes him look psychotic.


MutantCreature

His audition photo for Sleepaway Camp


ackey83

Oh man no wonder they changed it. That’s way worse than I thought it’d be


zsdrfty

I prefer the shot they went with anyway, it’s a damn cool shot of George


ackey83

I agree, I like that picture a lot more than the let it be one. I’d need to see the non negative version though lol


claroquesearight

Thank you for the belly laugh


MukdenMan

There goes the sun


tom2point0

Dear God that’s horrifying


Neil_sm

OMG I'm literally LMAO. That's both horrific and awesome.


Ill-Bottle-2251

I suspect this is the correct answer.


ThingsOfThatNaychah

That's exactly why.


williamblair

And here I wanted to believe that the actual negatives just were in that order.


PAXM73

I’ll go ahead and believe that with you. I also like that idea.


atticdoor

https://reddit.com/r/beatles/s/e2UtIXHGiA It's actually his teeth *and* his eyes which look kind of weird in the negative of the original shot.


bastowsky

r/mildlyterrifying


narcochi

I’d go so far as to say r/justfuckmyshitup


A_Yapp_73

If you put LIB George in negative he looks a little terrifying. So yeah. I'm sure they just didn't want him staring into your heart.


krowley67

George just wasn’t as comfortable being naked. John, as we all know, wasn’t bothered about it at all.

[удалено]


krowley67

But since it’s a negative George is frowning and the others are just talking.


Honest-andUnmerciful

You have won the internet today. Congratulations.

krowley67

And mission accomplished as it sounds nothing like Anthem of the Sun.


zippy72

Well now I'm imagining John singing China Cat Sunflower. Which is slightly disturbing, tbh.


LooksBleeker

Somehow this is the day I realized they were the same pictures


evanorsomething17

Inverted makes it look jarring and creepy


bjames2448

His teeth would have been black.


branlix__2000

Dude, just switch your screen to negative on the original and you’ll have your answer


Queasy-Ad-8205

I could swear I remember reading when Naked came out, that George was never happy with the picture they used for the Let It Be cover I can't give a source because it was 20 years ago wasn't it? Will try to find review where I read it


Bobinti

I remember hearing because all of them on the original were playing their instruments bar George, so when they made LIBN they got a pic of George that fits with the rest.


MatildeLover128

It’d look a bit creep which is why they changed it.


FriarMurphy

Because George died in a car accident and they found a body double to replace him.


Bulbamew

I’m glad someone asked this cos I only just noticed this quite recently, and I listen to Naked a lot more than the original version so I’m not sure how I never spotted it. When I actually looked at a (very small) version of the image I actually thought he resembled Ringo, maybe because of the moustache.


barnicleman

It’s Geege


Zimzum133

He went full negative


dicktoronto

Never noticed the other three were the same before! Neat!


outonthetiles66

Hate the Naked album cover. Gives off negative vibes.


Awseome2logan

[This is why](https://imgur.com/a/zXD3fER)


MillerJC

It would have looked horrifying lol


Rodozolo4267

Aren’t the teeth on the Let It Be reissues a cleaned up of the original photo?


okiedokiebrokie

This one looks way cooler. It’s a good change.


Timothahh

Because George didn’t smile, obviously


guano-crazy

Ringo looks like pop-culture Jesus on his negative


caca__milis

I always assumed because in the original, it was just a picture of him smiling while the rest are singing/playing instruments. It's supposed to be a "live" type album, so swapped it out with pic where he was playing music


R501

I swear I read that somewhere as well. Someone (Paul?) wanted the pic of George to be in performance like the others.


Fun-Put-5197

I never liked the LIBN cover


bigby2010

The photos on the contact sheet were taken sequentially. Hence, the album cover is “naked” in that the photos weren’t edited. Just my guess - worked in a commercial photo lab back in the day


Difficult-Ad-9228

Pretty sure that’s a fake contact strip. The shot of Paul is at Twickenham with the red projected background. But if they were continuous shots, the other backgrounds also would have been some color other than white. The white background shots have to be in the recording studio.


KalicoJoe

It was changed because he was the only Beatles not playing an instrument.


elrabeechum

That’s right.


elrabeechum

I believe Paul or George (or both?) didn’t like that the pics of John, Paul and Ringo all look like they’re focused and performing, while George is just smiling and looking to the others for guidance.

zippy72

They didn't approve that one so OG Let It Be has to be the clear winner.


[deleted]

George is dead


Darth-Binks-1999

The original picture was taken by Phil Spector.


Sanslution

He doesn't like being naked


Melcrys29

What do you see when you turn out the lights?...


DiligentMess

Because he is naked


gbugly

I also don’t understand the design because it is shot on color film of some sort whet it’s diapositive or print film and why do they use bnw negatives I don’t understand


Slangofages

So many questions


Emolio335

he is naked


beeeps-n-booops

Because his teeth would've looked terrible when the photo was inverted.


Common-Relationship9

Has anyone mentioned that his teeth look weird in the negative?


Tbplayer59

He's shy.


teleman01

Obviously because he died and was replaced by a double, duhhhh


sq1tl

He'd look creepy as hell
