Almost 60 years after The Beatles released their dreamy track "I'm Only Sleeping" from their seventh studio album Revolver, the band has teamed up with art publisher Avant Arte to release an exclusive pair of prints from the iconic 2022 music video created by British filmmaker Em Cooper.
The prints, titled Early in the Morning and In the Middle of a Dream, draw their names from the lyrics of the 1966 hit and bring together a collection of stills from Cooper's award-winning music video, with each print consisting of nine still images. The two prints combined feature all four members of The Beatles from the music video, which was created out of over 1,300 individual, hand-painted oil paintings that were made for the 2022 animation.
Both prints go up for sale on March 4 starting at 2 p.m. U.K. time, and will only be available for purchase for 48 hours. They each retail for $663 (with the option to add a frame for an additional cost) with free worldwide shipping. Those interested can go to Avant Arte's website and register their interest to be notified when the prints are released.
The 2022 music video for "I'm Only Sleeping" was Cooper's artistic interpretation of the original Beatles hit—a song about John Lennon's desire to stay in bed all day, usually while under the influence of psychedelic drugs. The video was an instant hit, and in 2024 it was honored with the Grammy Award for Best Music Video.
"I was inspired by the song itself, because the song has just that continuous rocking motion to the melody," Cooper told the Grammys in an interview. "It was as though it was a synesthetic reaction to the song. It felt almost like it just drew itself out in my mind—the movement all kind of choreographed itself around those moments where it's like [sings lyric in dramatic swoop] 'Yawning,' and then it felt like it goes over the top."
The music video made use of "rotoscoped archival footage" combined "with dreamy sequences that reflect the warm, introspective quality of the song," according to the Instagram post The Beatles' released on Friday announcing the limited edition prints.
A true collectors' item, these exclusive prints celebrate the everlasting artistry of The Beatles' music several decades after the band's heyday, highlighting its influence on the culture even today.
