The reason I picked this CD cover to analyse is because it is a classic one that most people should see and also, it is different to the Jessie J one.
This is concept based, it also contains aspects of performance in that all 4 Beatles are included in the shot and it could be argued that there is narrative in there as well because they are crossing the road and therefore possibly on a metaphorical journey.
There positioning in the frame says a lot about their equality within the group, whereby from this image, no one member is more important than another. Although the one at the front leads the way? The location suggests that the band are in touch with reality and the public with it being a very standard street. Additionally, with them walking one behind the other, it adds the sense that they are detached from one another in terms of their abilities- maybe each individual is unique and therefore cannot be compared with another bandmate. Lastly, the white border with the simple logo of "The Beates" is very small in comparison to the image. This infers that the audience will already know who the Beatles are and therefore they do not need an introduction or a large font across the middle stating the band name. This says a lot about the who persona and importance of the band.
From this, I think we can take the message that sometimes a simple concept cannot work really well as opposed to complex ideas.
