Instead of the Granny Smith apple picture label that was used frequently on many Beatles releases at that

point, not counting Apple label reissues of their enti re Capitol catalog in the USA, the label picture was that of a red apple as a re sult of United Artists Records having the release rights for the soundtrack and not Capitol. The Beatles Apple label was a painting and not a photograph. The album label sty le had John's picture in a hollow apple with a picture of an Apple sliced in hal f. The album was available for most of the 1970's until the Apple label was no l onger being used and as a result, the Let It Be album was out of print for a few years until Capitol bought out the United Artists label and reissued Let It Be on the Capitol label. Side one on a Beatles's record is usually a full Apple with Side two usually a d ifferent photograph of a sliced-in-half Apple.

We were out in the garden and Robert didn't want to interrupt, so when we went back in the big door from the garden to the living room, there on the table he'd just propped up this little Magritte. Acros s the APPLE painting Magritte had written in that beautiful handwriting of his " Au Revoir".
