Back cover
The Israel “Presidents Cover”
The Beatles’ Greatest was issued in Israel in December, 1970, with a cover unique to that country only. Known as the “Presidents Cover” or the “Old Men Cover”, the front cover showed a drawing of the four Beatles as old men, and the back cover featured 8 hand-drawn portraits, 2 of each Beatle. The original pressings from 1970 were much clearer with better detail than later pressings.
