This reply was written to Capitol Records by John Lennon in 1977 explaining which of the cover samples that he wanted used. They had sent him three different mock-up designs for the gatefold cover, of which he selected "sample B." There were also "dust sleeve" samples sent as well as inside variations.
Of special interest, his "P.P.S." at the bottom of the letter confirming he wanted the album title to be "The Beatles - Live At The Hollywood Bowl."
