Okay, no fair running to your record collection to do this. I want you to answer off the top of your head. And please don't post the answer after you've looked it up. I want to see how good our collective memory is. Here's the question:

Do you remember the dog on the cover of "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band"? If so, describe it.

Wasn't it like that RCA dog? A white something-or-other - with a black patch on one eye? Or am I thinking of someone else's dog altogether?

I seem to recall Nipper,the little fella from the RCA logo pictured staring at the phonograph horn.
It could be false memory syndrome,however.

But does anybody know what Nipper and the Victrola are sitting on, what the phrase is,
and it's meaning?

You'd probably have to remember the original decal to get it.

I have a copy of one of the earliest RCA Ads on my studio wall, and most musicians are fascinbated to find out Nipper is sitting on "his Master's coffin" as he's listening.
It seems morbid today, (well, not to the goth-rockers), but that ad campaign was formulated toward the end of the death-cult mentality that flourished in the late 1800's, when people kept photos of dead relatives, locks of hair, graveside boquets, etc. on display for years. Nipper fit right in, like most good advertising.

It sure is Rick. And you'll never find a sweeter, more loving and affectionate dog anywhere.

Pits are so strong that when you get a bad one, one that's been neglected or abused or trained to fight, you'e got a really dangerous animal.

But Petey has nover known anything but love and affection and positive reinforcement, and his personality developed accordingly. He's a 78 pound love muffin.

Be that as it may, it's not him on the Sgt Pepper cover.

In 1959 my dad & mom bought, for Christmas, for my brother and me, a small RCA-Victor record player. Inside the lid was the picture of Nipper looking into the cone of a Victrola, and the caption read "His Master's Voice".

The very first record we ever had for that little record player was "El Paso". We played that record over & over...

Most people can remember the dog, but they get confused when you ask them to describe it. I think it was like the Little Rascals' dog with the ring around its eye, but it was posed like Nipper, the RCA dog. Hence the confusion.

No fair peeking! What do YOU remember?
