    Excellent I enjoyed looking at those, Polythene Pam made me chuckle, as did Brosnan with his pain face for It won't be long

    Baby it's you could have been Fool on a hill

    Good point. Maybe I'll change it.
    Baby it's you might be Bond looking at Colonel Toro in OP

    That would work.

    I thought Maxwells Silver Hammer may fit an image of Lois Maxwell/Moneypenny. Though the only object that could work to the song reference I could think of was her typewriter.

    Goldfinger could easily fit Mean Mr Mustard with his mustard coloured attire.

    Great work! That's real funny, merging arguably Britian's two greatest '60s cultural icons

    Someone should do the same with The Rolling Stones, as they debuted the same month.

    I am a Stones fan first, but weren't the Fab 4 just ahead of them
    Stones formed in July 1962. Their first single release was Chuck Berry's Come On, June 1963
    I'm not sure of the Beatles timeline

    Well, same year at least.

    The Beatles definitely pre-dated the Stones. In fact, a Decca exec was chatting up George Harrison one evening in the early '60s, stating his regrets that Decca had turned the Beatles down once before they got their big break with Parlophone, and asking if George had any tips regarding upcoming bands to check out. George recommended the Rolling Stones...and the rest is rock & roll history!

    Right The Beatles were already established hitmakers in 1962, while Jagger Richards and Brian Jones were slumming together, eking out a living, at their infamous Edith Grove dump of a flat.
    The Beatles would visit them at the flat and hang out.
    According to wiki, The Beatles formed as a group in 1960. Lennon, McCartney and Harrison had history that predated that. But by 1960 the name was established. Ringo joined later, in 1962, bumping out Pete Best
    They were an instant recording success, with their first string of singles starting with Love Me Do, Oct 1962.
    So basically the Stones were still in their formative stages as The Beatles were hitting their initial fame.
    Beatles hit the charts about 8 months ahead of the Stones, and even then made a bigger initial splash.

    But @Thunderfinger a Stones Bond collaboration has possibilities too

    Edit: Beatles and Bond movies though have almost perfect symmetry, with both hitting big, late 1962

    They are great especially the Sgt Pepper album cover.

    The Abbey Road cover is very Meta with how George is depicted.

    Great stuff! That Sgt. JW Pepper cover took a lot of work!
