* The Building is Stocks Hotel and Country Club, at Aldbury, near Tring, Hertfordshire, a favourite haunt of late Who drummer Keith Moon.
* The Rolls Royce submerged in the pool is an allusion to Keith Moon when, in celebrating his birthday, piled a Lincoln Convertible into a hotel swimming pool.
* The Rolls Royce is a copy of that driven by John Lennon in the late 60's.
* The number of the Rolls (SYD 724F) parallels that of the police car on the right hand side of the cover of The Beatles "Abbey Road" LP.
* The parking meter in the pool with the Rolls Royce alludes to the Beatles track "Lovely Rita", about Rita the meter maid.
* The white TV, showing the album cover, resembles that seen in The Who film "Tommy"
* In the Beatles film "Magical Mystery Tour", there is a scene in which Ringo looks through a telescope, as Noel does in the background of "Be Here Now"
* The Clock leaning against drummer Alan White's right leg alludes to the station clock found in the Beatles film "A Hard Day's Night"
* The Gramophone, resembles a tribute to the record label HMV, that which first signed the Beatles, and whose logo features a dog (Kipper) sitting next to a gramophone.
* The Vespa scooter behind which Liam stands is typical of 80's `mod' iconography. (The number plate - 514 FMK - who knows?!)
* In original pictures of the cover, the calender was set to the date September 3, paralleling the day John Lennon and Yoko Ono left British shores in 1971.
However August 21, the release date of Be Here Now, was the day in 1988 when British legislation was passed allowing British Pubs to be open 12 hours a day, except on Sundays.
* Also in initial pictures the cover featured a red telephone box appearing in the pool to the left of the Rolls. This was an allusion to the telephone box into which all four Beatles flee to escape fans in the film "A Hard Days Night"
