When the Beatles arrived
on American shores in 1963, their brand of Rock & Roll wasn't
that far removed from the tracks laid down at Sun Studio in Memphis a
few years before. By the time the Beatles were done as a group, they
had taken Rock & Roll in previously unimagined directions,
expanding the musical vocabulary of pop music.
The Beatles:
John Lennon, rhythm
guitar/vocals
Paul McCartney, bass
guitar/vocals
George Harrison, lead
guitar/vocals
Ringo Starr, drums/vocals
The Beatles have even made an impact on fabric, as can be seen by the
new The Beatles series of novelty cotton fabrics. Many of the fabrics
show scenes from The Beatles' 1968 film Yellow Submarine.
The psychedelic animated film tells the story of the band's adventures
in music-loving Pepperland. The trouble begins when the music-hating
Blue Meanies arrive and drain everything of color. Over the course of
the film, John, Paul, Ringo and George - together forming Sgt. Pepper's
Lonely Hearts Club Band - help to restore Pepperland to its
music-loving ways.
The design of Yellow Submarine Adventures Fabric: Lime shows John,
Paul, George and Ringo fighting the Chief Blue Meanie and The Dreadful
Flying Glove over a lime green background.
Our Yellow Submarine Adventures Fabric: Lime is a wonderful
choice for adding a musical sensibility to your fabric projects. This
designer fabric can be used to make blankets, wall hangings, Hawaiian
shirts, carrying bags, bed sheets, bedspreads, crafts, quilts, pet
clothing and more.
