Hipgnosis also designed good covers, I think they did a lot of the Pink Floyd cover art.
Yes, they did. Ever hear the story about the inflatable pig they used on the cover of
Animals? Apparently made by the Zeppelin company in Germany. It broke it's moorings later in the photo shoot and drifted away. A pilot who radioed in that he had just seen a pink flying pig was forced to land as the authorities thought he had been drinking. Last sighted heading towards Germany, the Floyd joked in interviews that it must have been a "homing pig".
Led Zeppelins "Physical Graffiti" was pretty good, especially the import.
The Canadian? Yup, got that.
Can you remembe how horrible the south african prints were.
Yes. I had a copy of The Final cut that the needle used to jump out of the groove with the explosion at the end of
Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert
. I saw quite a few where the hole was either far off-centre or so small that it got stuck to the spindle.
I think I have a book somewhere of the best designed album covers, but to find it is another thing...
