The 30 March 1967 photo session with Cooper also produced the back cover and the inside gatefold, which according to the musicologist Ian Inglis conveys "an obvious and immediate warmth ... which distances it from the sterility and artifice typical of such images." (Inglis, Ian (2008). "Cover story: magic, myth, and music". In Julien, Olivier. Sgt. Pepper and the Beatles: It Was Forty Years Ago Today. Ashgate. ISBN 978-0-7546-6708-7. Page 95)
McCartney explained: "One of the things we were very much into in those days was eye messages ... So with Michael Cooper's inside photo, we all said, 'Now look into this camera and really say I love you! Really try and feel love; really give love through this! It'll come out; it'll show; it's an attitude.' And that's what that is, if you look at it you'll see the big effort from the eyes." (Miles, Barry (1997). Paul McCartney: Many Years From Now (1st Hardcover ed.). Henry Holt & Company. ISBN 978-0-8050-5248-0. Pages 344–345)
McCartney can be seen wearing a badge on his left sleeve that bears the initials O.P.P. Proponents of the Paul is dead theory read them as O.P.D., which they interpret as meaning "Officially Pronounced Dead". The initials stand for "Ontario Police Precinct", and the badge was a gift from a fan.(Martin, George; Pearson, William (1994). Summer of Love: The making of Sgt. Pepper. Macmillian. ISBN 978-0-333-60398-7. Page 168)
