Flower Punk and punk subculture?

The "lyrical themes" section seems to imply that the title of the song "Flower Punk" refers to a punk in the punk rock subculture sense of the word. This isn't even possible since no such culture existed in 1968, and even if you could argue that something similar did, it would not have been referred to as "punk" as that term didn't emerge until the mid-70s. I think this should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.201.47.127 (talk) 07:44, 22 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

A Few Words About Packaging

I'm not exactly sure how you would word it , or add it to the main body of the article , so , I'll leave these observances HERE , and the powers that be , can use or abuse this information to their hearts content … or not.

The original issue - like Sgt. Pepper - also came with an insert sheet of cut outs. ( Frank's beard , mustache , and a strand of long hair , a Mothers group photo "standee" , two badges ( a nipple and a photo of one of the record company executives. ) , and a distorted dollar bill featuring Billy's belly in place of a president.

Of interest , is the interior notes , even after the mandated change , the notes still refer to the now "outer sleeve" as the gatefold , and the now "gatefold" as the front cover!

It should also be noted , it's not just the front of Sgt.Pepper that got parodied … the band against a yellow background parodies Pepper's gatefold ( Roy Estrada is even cradling his legs like Paul McCartney. ) , and the band against a red background with one member facing the opposite way - the back cover of Pepper - is also parodied. "Motorhead" is the forward facing Mother - in the McCartney position - holding a blank piece of paper. And , whereas as the Mothers hands do not spell out anything - The Beatles hands spell out "love" - Frank is making a hand gesture , which is either "peace" or "up yours" depending on your country of origin. 75.104.174.177 (talk) 18:41, 27 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Who is depicted?

A list of the people depicted in the Sgt Pepper parody group photo would be of interest. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:54, 4 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Yes indeed. But only if the list is available in some reliable source. Otherwise it would be wp:original research, alas. Do we have such a source? Hope we do. - DVdm (talk) 22:00, 4 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
