The Beatles were an English rock group from 1960-1970. Their influence on the world and today's music is incredible. This subreddit is for discussion, news, memorabilia, and/ or anything else relating to the group. :)

Couldn't post this on r/lostmedia so I'm trying my luck here
I'm a graduate in animation and was recently going through my watchlist now that I'm done with college to watch animation classics. Yesterday I finally got around to watching the "Yellow Submarine". I had a blast and am now looking for animation cells and illustrations (not to buy - I'm too broke for that - just to see HD scans of the things) which leads me here. I keep finding what I assume to be a illustration by Ron Campbell, one of the most well known guys to work on the movie, of a Blue Meanie about to kick Jeremy; just characters from the movie. I've only been able to find this image reposted on Pinterest at really compressed sizes. This was the biggest one I could find: Imgur
I've been looking through listings and auction websites because I'm assuming this was up for sale at some point due to how clean the picture is, which makes me believe it was a scan of the original drawing to have it up for auction. I've tried a few different "reverse image searching" websites, went through Ron Campbell's official website and portfolio he had for the work he made in the movie (he passed in 2021 but the website is still up) and many auction websites with whole sections for the Beatles movies and animated projects. I cannot for the life of me find this image in its original resolution anywhere. Please help and thank you in advance.
Here's links of places I've already looked through. They have animation cells and illustrations for sale of the movie, but not the specific one I'm looking for:

Sorry for the poor quality! I had some difficulties getting everything to fit in one shot! Also this does not include the four 3 inch records I got at record store day in the spring! I forgot about them because I don’t keep them in the same location as my others!
I’ve started a YouTube project in which I try to recreate Beatles songs perfectly. I’ve started with Please Please Me so if you could give it a listen and then give me feedback then I’d really appreciate it. Don’t hold back! Video link below
So I want to get my first tattoo soon, and I really love The Beatles, so I wanted to get the sheet music to one of their songs tattooed because I’m also a musician. I really wanted to get the “Blackbird singing in the dead of night; Take these broken wings and learn to fly” lines tattooed, but I am white and I didn’t know if that would be inappropriate seeing as Paul interpreted the song as a civil rights movement song. If it is inappropriate, does anyone have any other suggestions? Even if it isn’t inappropriate, I’m open to other suggestions.
What I know:
Has the Beatles
Has a Yellow Submarine
There's "Blue Meanies", some guys that drop apples on people (Record label reference??? 🍏)
Jeremy Hillary Boob (need i say more)
There's music from Revolver, Magical Mystery Tour and Sgt. Pepper
It's basically a psychedelic nightmare
It's starring Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
Dosen't have Smoke On The Water by Deep Purple
Is mixed media (animated and live action)
Casio - harpsichord, guitar, bass, synthy thing
Hello Beatles reddit I am an avid collector for vinyls and anything Beatles related so when my brother got a Beatles cd that I can’t find anywhere on Discogs or online it got me interested. It looks to be a Japanese copy of 1. I’ve looked it up on Discogs over snd over again and I’ve tried to find it on google or eBay but I can’t find it. If anybody knows if this is official or a bootleg or if anybody has seen this and knows how much it could be worth please help me figure this out.
On December 9th, 1974, John Lennon joined NFL announcer #HowardCosell on the #MondayNightFootball broadcast. They discussed the game, the differences between US football and soccer and rugby and if The Beatles might ever reunite.
Tragically, only 6 years later to almost the exact day, #JohnLennon would be assassinated in front of his New York City Home, The Dakota on December 8th, 1980. He was killed by a a crazed fan.
His music and legacy will forever live on.
“It makes rock concerts look like tea parties”
-John Lennon referring to the NFL when discussing it with Howard Cosell on Monday Night Football on December 9th, 1974. He would die on December 8th, 1980.
I didn't win the ugly sweater contest 🙁
"I think it's pure shit! Of course Paul's fault!"
It was honestly a great show- there was a local guy who introduced him as Ed Sullivan.
