This 17-1/4" round 2-sided color screen print is one from a special edition published in 2000 by Firehouse Kustom Rockart (Donovan/Sperry) for the Virgin Megastores, printed on heavy paper stock and signed in black pen in the bottom (black) margin by the artists, Ron Donovan and Chuck Sperry. These promotional posters were folded once for shipping to the various Virgin Megastores (see photos, below) – otherwise, they are in mint condition. The front features the promotional imagery, while the back features a large green apple.

The Anthology series consists of three packages of Beatles music, interviews and never-before-heard bits – all of which focus on the history of The Beatles - that were featured in the video documentary, three record albums and a book of the same name. The original cover imagery was created by Klaus Voorman, who had designed the famous record cover for Revolver.

The Anthology book included a series of first-person accounts by the Beatles themselves.

The documentary series, which was made over five years of planning and production, is composed of numerous film clips and interviews that present a complete history of the band from the Beatles' own personal perspectives. Text from many of the interviews featured on-air were included in the book, along with a host of rarely-seen photos.

The TV Documentary series premiered in the UK and U.S. (appeared on ABC 11/19 thru 11/23/1995). The first CD compilation (Anthology 1) released in late 1995, the 2^nd (Anthology 2) hit stores in March 1996, and the third came out in October, 1996. The 368-page book, published by Chronicle Books, went on sale on October 5, 2000 and went straight to the top of the New York Times’ best-seller lists.

The Virgin Megastore chain hired artists Ron Donovan and Chuck Sperry of Firehouse Kustom Rockart to create this special promotional image to promote the sale of the Anthology book in their stores. Donovan and Sperry have worked together with their music industry clientele to create an enormous portfolio of rock music-related imagery, including a number of posters for the Virgin stores featuring acts such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, U2, Madonna, Pearl Jam and many others.
