It Was 20 Years Ago Today...

Best album cover to play "Where's Waldo with major historical and pop cultural figures" ever. And the vinyl record came with cool cut-out toys.
And Paul was OPD, according to his patch on the interior gatefold.

Countless hours of fun.

Actually, Paul's patch says "OPP". It's the official insignia for the Ontario Provincial Police.

Here's what the Wikipedia says:

The 1967 Beatles Album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, contains cover art with Paul McCartney wearing an OPP patch on his fictional uniform (more easily seen in the gatefold picture). The patch was given to John Lennon the day after their 1966 concert in Toronto, by a summer student working in the garage of the OPP Headquarters; when the Beatles were being transferred to a police van for the trip to the airport.

Many "Paul Is Dead" enthusiasts have misread the patch as "OPD" (the way the patch was slightly bent on McCartney's sleeve in the gatefold picture, the bottom of the "P" was not visible) and took it to mean "Officially Pronounced Dead."
