2017-08-08: Mais sobre o Rolls de John Lennon

Citando:
"Lennon had the Phantom V customized in true rock-star style. The rear seat was converted to a double bed, a television, telephone, and refrigerator were installed, along with a 'floating' record player and a custom sound system (which included an external loud hailer). Then, in April 1967, just as the recording of the game-changing Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was finishing, Lennon asked Surrey coachbuilders, JP Fallon, to give the Phantom a new paint job. The freshly-painted Phantom was unveiled days before the worldwide release of Sgt. Pepper's on 1 June, and it seemed part of the overall concept of the album.

The new color scheme is often described as 'psychedelic' and certainly the colors, particularly the dominant yellow, reflected the cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. But look carefully and you will see it is no random swirl, but a floral Romany scroll design, as used on gypsy caravans and canal barges, with a zodiac symbol on the roof."
