Sgt. Pepper Turns 40

A very cool album cover, this album's music changed music forever, and most of us spent hours in the dorm room listening for "Paul is dead" clues.

Here's a few of the most notable clues:

1) "Paul is dead" was rumored to be heard on A Day In The Life and Strawberry Fields ---a song recorded for Sgt. Pepper's but not included in the album's release

2) Lyrics which we believed referred to Paul's death in a car accident: "Wednesday morning at five o'clock," "Nothing to do to save his life," "He blew his mind out in a car, he didn't notice that the light had changed."

3) The flower arrangement on the album cover looks like one at a funeral, and

4) Paul is the only Beatle not facing the camera in a photo on the back cover.
