It was 58 years ago today, that The Beatles gathered for the photo shoot for one of the most classic album covers of all time: Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
On March 30, 1967, The Beatles all went to Michael Cooper’s photo studio in Chelsea and they shot the iconic front cover and the back and inside cover as well.
In honor of this anniversary, we’ve got six links to articles about the cover and the photo shoot for the legendary Sgt. Pepper’s album and one video link. Then there’s the MBIP Coming Attractions as to what’s happening on the blog next week. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
