1967: The most famous album cover in history was photographed by Michael Cooper on this day. The Beatles arrive at Chelsea Manor Studios in London dressed in matching satin marching band uniforms and pose amidst an extensive array of wax figures, flowers and cardboard cutouts for the cover of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
BTW – A life size mock-up of that photo session can be seen today at the Beatles Museum in Liverpool.
Our photo is obviously an alternate shot from that session.
