The correction relates to the part about Christopher Lee. He did *not* play Gandalf in Lord of the Rings. That part was played by Sir Ian McKellen. Christopher Lee played Saruman, the leader of the Wizard Council who teamed up with Sauron.
The interesting fact relates to Michael Parkinson. He only agreed to appear on the album cover if Paul MacCartney would agree to appear on Parkinson's chat show. Paul didn't fulfil that agreement until 2002 - nearly 30 years after the album was released!

And another one...
In the bit about Clement Freud, you've said that he was elected in 1973, but the footnote says that the seat was created in 1983. That's a bit wrong, i would think...

Admittedly it wasn't 100% clear but it is to any politically minded person on the original.
Since 1983 North West Cambridgeshire
