Question
QUESTION: Hi, My name is Anthony Valentino and my father Anthony Valentino SR used to own a Limmo company and the Beatles used to use his limo service. They were all good friends and they gave my dad a rare album. I think it was the yellow sub one. so anyways. From what my dad told me, he said that he was on the back of the album or something of the fact. It was a picture of a limo in front of a house with a naked chick hanging out of the window. My dad was standing in front of the limo. i think he said something of the fact that it was never put out. As a small child around 5 or 6 i think i can remember looking at it thinking wow those are boobies..lol well anyways im 25 now and i need to find this album. oh yea, the reason why i don't have it or my dad doesn't have it is because one of my dads partners stole it like 15 years ago. My dad has since past on and my mom just told me about it again the other day. I hope you can help. Thanks and let me know if you need any other info from me. -Anthony Valentino.

ANSWER: Hi Anthony-

So sorry to hear about your Dad.  While there never was an album released with that picture on it, I know the picture to which you are referring.  It was taken by Ken Marcus about 1972-3 and was used for a George Harrison solo album called Living in the Material world.  During that photo shoot, both George Harrison and Ringo Starr were present.  It was actually taken at one of George's homes.
The remastered deluxe edition of this album is still available via Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Living-Material-CD+DVD-George-Harrison/dp/B000HIVQK8/ref=p
The 40 page booklet includes the picture you reference.
Here is another link to just the photo, although not great quality

Hope this helps!

Cheers!

Answer
That is wonderful!  I am really happy to hear!  I would strongly encourage you to buy the deluxe cd.  In addition to your Dad standing next to the limo actually being ON THE CD LABEL, there is a DVD which includes additional photos/outtakes from the same session in which several would include your Dad.

Cheers!
