The 'basic' colours are blue, red and yellow if I remember correctly. So, a yellow one is needed after they already had a white, a blue and red one. White, red and blue (is there an 'order'?!) are the colours of the Union Jack flag. That's why I thought that the Greatest Hits records were in blue and red?! Or does somebody know the story behind that? To add another Gre

Regarding the press reports one might have to consider that Sticky Fingers was not yet released. Therefore, the media persons must have been unsure about a new songs title and might have preferred to skip mentioning it instead of being embarrassed about the real name on the long player.

Where do the colours come from? Why a Green one: because of John's and Paul's Irish origins? (I don't know about George and Ringo's confession). Wasn't there talk about an Orange Album, too? If Green means Irish does Orange then mean the colour of the Royalists?! I think Gazza could give the correct explanations about Green and Orange.

There is much talk on Gomper in track talk and the Dulcimer, the "weird" instrument as it is called on page 3 of the discussion. I have seen one in Reykjavik in a music shop (well, five years ago). So if they need to buy a new one and that's my suggestion - combined with a concert in the Harpa.
