1967: The Beatles visit Chelsea Manor Studios in London to photograph the cover of their newest album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, wearing satin marching band outfits of various bright colors and posing amid cardboard cutouts of several dozen famous personages. Michael Cooper's series of photographs would become amongst the most famous in rock history. oldies.about.com/od/oldieshistory/a/march30.htm |

Michael Cooper's series of photographs would become amongst the most famous in rock history. oldies.about.com/od/oldieshistory/a/march30.htm... and don't forget how that cover provided SO much fodder for the "Paul is Dead" hoax. Part of it actually came from the fact that before the album came out, there was a lot of talk that the Beatles next album would be in a brown paper bag (or the cover would look like one). I definitely remember hearing this before Sgt. Pepper came out. -- The Sgt Pepper comes out with the intricate cover and all those figures. They even supposed that they changed their mind on the cover because Paul had died. 1962: Pravda, the official newspaper of the USSR, runs an article warning Russians against falling victim to the decadent new Western fad known as "The Twist." ---- and it's true! It took about 30 years, but Chubby Checker brought down the Soviet Union!  |
