Footnotes

Michael Cooper (1941–1973) was a British photographer who is remembered for his photographs of leading rock musicians of the 1960s and early 1970s. His best known work is the cover photography for the 1967 LP Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles. Cooper also created the cover lenticular for the Rolling Stones 1967 LP Their Satanic Majesties Request.

Pop artists Peter Blake and Jann Haworth designed the album cover for Sgt. Pepper from an ink drawing provided by McCartney on which Blake and Haworth based the design. The cover art was directed by Robert Fraser and photographed by Michael Cooper. The 30 March 1967 photo session with Cooper also produced the back cover and the inside gatefold.
