London, May 25 (IANS) Artist Ian Beck, who designed the iconic cover for Sir Elton John's album "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", has asked the star to return the original picture.
Beck was paid $688 for his artwork which was used on the sleeve of the classic 1973 record "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road".
"I did the cover for Elton's label Rocket Records. Elton loved it and it was a very successful album. I think Elton kept the cover work. So if you are listening, Elton, I would like the Yellow Brick Road back, please, because I created it," contactmusic.com quoted Beck as saying.
A spokesman for Sir Elton, however, said: "I have no idea whether Elton has it, but presumably if he does, he paid for it so it is his; £430 was a hell of a lot of money back then. A bit weird, isn't it, to ask for something back 38 years later?
