"Magical Mystery Tour," Beatles
This is an album cover art message. On the album "Magical Mystery Tour" the letters that spell out Beatles has a distinct phone number in the stars that make up the Beatles. What I have heard is the the phone number was a contact number for fans to receive a message from the band, only in the UK.
