Corgi's association with The Beatles began in 1969 with the production of the very first Yellow Submarine replica. Reportedly inspired by images taken of nursing mothers in Vietnam, the single came during the height of the Vietnam War, and chronicled a week in the life of a Mother. Comes in sturdy display box with clear window to keep as a collectible or take out of the box to display or play!
