The original images are mostly square which I processed to fit an 18x10 resolution computer screen. The processes I employ are simple. I am not a professional artist. Credits are given to the artists and owners of the original designs as well as the labels which released the albums. No infringement of copyright is intended in these works. I am using the original designs under the doctrine of "fair use."homejobberjrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17498285805196706073noreply@blogger.comBlogger33125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2375037252798687388.post-45303295688892858062015-08-17T03:29:00.000-07:002017-01-03T03:49:59.587-08:00Deviations from Select Albums 1, Gallery<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This image is not from <i>Tales from the Crypt</i>. This is David Byron on the cover of the UK release of Uriah Heep's debut album. His cobwebbed face occupies the whole front sleeve and</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">is here reproduced </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">six times to fill the 18x10 canvass. The recolouring of the image at bottom right was done in order to match the letters of the band's name which, together </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">with the album title, has been distorted </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">with the </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">wave</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> filter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The album was generally panned by the mainstream critical press upon its release, although it has since been acknowledged as an early classic of the heavy metal genre.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The harshest critic was </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Rolling Stone</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> magazine reviewer, Melissa Mills, who began her review, "If this group makes it I'll have to commit suicide. From the first note</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">you know you don't want to hear any more." </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..._Very_'Eavy_..._Very_'Umble" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Source</span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">That's a rather horrific note, but a mouth agape could be making a sound begging to be heard. Byron is the lead vocalist and he wrote almost all of the songs</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">in </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">this album. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And 46 years on the band was still touring.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Artwork by Robin Nicol, photo by Pete Smith. Album produced by Gerry Bron. Vertigo (UK) 1970. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Uriah Heep are considered one of the most underrated progressive rock bands to come out of Britain's acclaimed </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">classic rock era of late </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">1960's and early 1970's. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A very diverse band, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">comprised of many individual talents, namely David Byron's incredible and iconic </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">falsetto </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">voice, Mick Box's roaring wah-wah virtuoso guitar style and Ken Hensley's raging organ,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Uriah </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Heep never seemed to gain any </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">recognition, </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">not even in Britain. Though being considered a progressive rock band in every sense of the word, Heep's first </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">studio album,</span><br />
<i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Very 'Eavy... Very 'Umble</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">, </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">released in June 1970, is a much more diverse album in style, ranging from </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">blues </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">to hard rock and heavy metal. Critics quickly dismissed any potential </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">of Uriah Heep becoming big, but </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">regardless of </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">critics, </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Very 'Eavy... Very 'Umble</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> presents itself as a promising debut. </span><a href="http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/57205/Uriah-Heep-Very-eavy...-Very-umble/" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;" target="_blank">More</a></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Designed by the great Bob Cato, using an Elliot Landy photograph, this simple cover speaks volumes of what waits inside. Their first album, <i>Music From Big Pink</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">did not show the members of the group on either the front or the back; you had to open it up to see the group. Here they confront you head-on, staring at you</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">from another time. This was the time of paisley and psychedelic design and fonts. Not this band, there were dressed as workers, laborers, as if they stepped</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">out of 1940’s America. Hell, they could’ve been mistaken for hobos then. The album was sepia toned as if taken from our grandparents’ scrapbook. And</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">the music </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">reflected it all, and magnificently. A masterpiece. </span><a href="http://atbishopsgate.com/" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Source</span></a><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It's as if an itinerant old-time medicine show somehow skipped a few generations, pulled off a two-lane Arkansas highway in 1910, and woke up in 1968, with</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">its </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">remaining potions turned to hallucinogens. Of course the time travellers had stories to tell—about the wily old South, where men with names like Virgil</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">and </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Eustace tended the land, and there was pride just in surviving.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Four Canadians and one Southern "ringer" (drummer Levon Helm, who grew up in Arkansas), the Band caught what was wild and romantic about America,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">and </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">framed it in ramshackle grandeur with a touch of a hippieera batik. The musicians first played together backing rockabilly singer Ronnie Hawkins,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">but </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">became </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">cohesive backing Bob Dylan during his shift from acoustic folk to rock. When the Band moved out of the Big Pink house in Woodstock,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">New </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">York, the </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">group of talented multi-instrumentalists discovered they had something different, but no less profound, to say on their own.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">That's </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">instantly evident </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">in the story-songs on their first album, <i>Music from Big Pink</i>, and this masterpiece — a one-two punch the likes of</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">which </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">rock </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">and roll hasn't seen since. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.1000recordings.com/music/band/" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank">Full article</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This work is a combination of the front of the original album cover art design and part of the back cover. The brick wall at centre was cut and pasted at left to complete the 18X10 screensaver.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So here we have the artist stepping into the yellow brick road which is actually just a picture while looking back on the outside which has his own picture on the wall.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We read about the <i>Yellow Brick Road</i> in <i>The Wizard of Oz </i>from 1939.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We heard "this boy's too young to be signing the blues" back in 1973.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In 1973 there was no indication that one day Elton John would become one of the leading Friends of Dorothy, but he unintentionally hinted at the yet-to-be-invented</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">codeword </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">with </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">the metaphors in the title and on the cover of his album. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The album’s title, also the name of the lead single, seems to be at odds with the artwork</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">on the cover. Both song and cover, take their imagery from </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Wizard Of Oz</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">, in which the yellow brick road played as much a central role as any thoroughfare</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">ever did in the movies. Where the song tells of disillusion at the end of that road, the cover promises the beginning of an escape from reality as Elton steps</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">into a </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">poster and on to a yellow brick road.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The poster is on a tatty wall, covering a previous poster (the font of which suggests that it might have advertised a music hall), with chimneys in the background</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">telling of a drab existence, quite at odds with Elton’s flamboyant get-up. </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The cover was drawn by Ian Beck, who was 26 at the time. Beck has since illustrated</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">magazines, greeting cards, packaging and a few children’s books. He has also written a few novels. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Beck came to LP cover design through John Kosh, whose</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">credits included the <i>Abbey Road</i> cover.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Beck was given tapes of the songs (which included future classics like Benny And The Jets, Saturday Night Is Alright For Fighting, Candle In The Wind and </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">the</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">title track), and typed lyrics sheets, and began working on a concept. His friend, fashion illustrator Leslie McKinley Howell, stood in as a model for Elton</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">John </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">in polaroids which Beck took (hence the long legs) in preparation for his watercolour, pastel, and coloured crayon pencils artwork. The piano on</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">the </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">front cover and the teddy bear at the back were placed there at the request of Elsie, as Beck only later realised Elton was known to his staff.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/nov/22/rolling-stones-let-it-bleed" target="_blank"><i>The Guardian</i></a> reported on 22 November 2011 that the artwork for one of the most famous album covers – the Rolling Stones' <i>Let It Bleed</i> –</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">is expected to fetch up to £40,000 at auction.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The album cover displays a surreal sculpture designed by Robert Brownjohn. The image consists of the </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Let It Bleed</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> record being played by the tone-arm of an antique phonograph,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">and a record-changer spindle supporting several items stacked on a plate in place of a stack of records: a tape canister labelled Stones – Let It Bleed, a clock dial,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">a pizza, a tyre and a cake with elaborate icing topped by figurines representing the band. The cake parts of the construction were prepared by</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">then-unknown cookery writer Delia Smith. The artwork was inspired by the working title of the album, which was <i>Automatic Changer</i>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The album cover for </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Let It Bleed</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> was among the ten chosen by the Royal Mail for a set of "Classic Album Cover" postage stamps issued in January 2010.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is a mean Dylan, meaner than him on the cover of <i>Highway 61 Revisited</i>. It was freezing when they took the shot. I read about it. The shot is out of focus. I readily noticed it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And so I decided to crop the sides of the original photo to make a larger one and see how meaner Dylan could get. Then I remembered the texture of his photo on the cover</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">of <i>Blood on the Tracks</i> but on this one I experimented with <i>rough pastels</i> and <i>angled strokes</i>. That's just enough blurring without demeaning the original blur.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And, I guess, that's the meanest mean I could get. Out of a cold blonde. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This work is an experiment with the <i>glass distortion</i> and <i>liquefy</i> filters. The basis I chose is the album cover version which has pink instead of the more common dayglo red for the band's letters. It's the</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">pink as in <i>punk</i> that created the rush to add the br</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">ight blue bar at left and supplied the devilish creative adrenalin to arouse the <i>X</i> and drop the <i>O</i>. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The album was originally going to be titled <i>God Save Sex Pistols</i>. The album's title changed in mid-1977, based on a phrase supplied by Steve Jones. Jones said he picked up the phrase</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"Never mind the bollocks" from two fans who would always say it to one another. Johnny Rotten explained its meaning as a working-class expression to "stop talking rubbish".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In the UK, the album was subject to what (writer Clinton) Heylin described as "blatant acts of censorship exercised by media and retail outlets alike". London police visited the </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">city's Virgin record stores and told them they faced prosecution for indecency if they continued to display posters of the album cover in their windows. The displays were </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">either</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">toned down or removed. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">However, on 9 November 1977 the </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">London Evening Standard</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> announced on its front page headline "Police Move in on Punk Disc Shops", and reported </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">how </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">a </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Virgin Records shop manager was arrested for displaying the record after being warned to cover up the word "bollocks". </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">An obscenity case was heard at Nottingham Magistrates' Court on 24 November. The defence presented the case as a matter of police discrimination. The arresting officer </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">was </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">asked why the newspapers </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Guardian</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> and </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Evening Standard</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> (which had referred to the album's name) had not been charged under the same act. When the </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">magistrate inquired </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">about </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">his line </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">of </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">questioning, </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">the defence lawyer stated that a double-standard was apparently at play, and that "bollocks" was only considered obscene when it appeared on the</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">cover of a </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Sex Pistols album. The prosecutor conducted his cross-examination "as if the album itself, and not its lurid visage, was on trial for indecency. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The lawyer produced expert witnesses who were able to successfully demonstrate that the word "bollocks" was not obscene, and was actually a legitimate Old English term </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">originally </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">used to refer to a priest, and which, in the context of the title, meant "nonsense". <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Never_Mind_the_Bollocks,_Here%27s_the_Sex_Pistols#Packaging.2C_title_and_obscenity_case" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Full article</span></a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's not difficult to find the original album cover art design on this work. It is mirrored at right and partially reproduced at left. The mirroring doubled up what looks like a heap of radioactive garbage but</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">it </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">has to be left lying there. The mirroring also inverted K. West so the original had to be cut and pasted and tilted and positioned where it should be. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"American Pie" has been said to be Don McLean's boyhood memories upon learning the death of <a href="http://www.biography.com/people/buddy-holly-9342186" target="_blank">Buddy Holly</a>. "The day the music died" in the opening verse was the 1959 plane crash that ended the lives of Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper. <span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/rockandpopmusic/11612982/Don-McLean-American-Pie-is-worth-10-or-15-hit-records.html" target="_blank">More</a></span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It was also the <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/rockandpopmusic/11612982/Don-McLean-American-Pie-is-worth-10-or-15-hit-records.html" target="_blank">story</a> of America, or the evolution of the American music scene from the 1950s through the 60s. Thus "the jester on the sidelines" is Bob Dylan, "the king with the thorny crown" is Elvis,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"the quartet in the park" was The Beatles, and "Jack Flash" was Mick Jagger. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Believing that an artist's work should stand by </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Pie_%28album%29#Background" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank">itself</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">, McLean generally did not offer explanations for his work's</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">themes </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">or meaning, though he did describe the title song as involving </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"a sense of loss".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On 13 February 2015, the Daily Telegraph <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/11410442/Bye-Bye-Miss-American-Pie-Don-McLeans-manuscript-to-go-up-for-auction.html" target="_blank">report</a>ed that McLean's original manuscript of "American Pie," one of the most iconic songs of its time, could fetch up to $1.5 million </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">when it is sold on April 7, auctioneers Christie's have said. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The 16 pages of handwritten and typed drafts include notes and deletions for the recording that became a hit</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">after it was released in 1971. It was named a Song of the Century by the Recording Industry Association of America and the National Endowment for the Arts.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"Vincent" is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_%28song%29" target="_blank">tribute</a> to Vincent van Gogh. It is also known by its opening line, "Starry Starry Night", a reference to Van Gogh's painting The Starry Night. </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The song</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">also </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">describes different paintings done by the artist. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">McLean wrote the lyrics in 1971 after reading a book about the life of the artist. The following </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">year,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">the song became the number one hit in the UK Singles Chart. In the US, "Vincent" also peaked at number two on the Easy Listening chart. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Everyday, "Vincent" is played by the staff of the <a href="http://www.vangoghmuseum.nl/" target="_blank">Van Gogh Museum</a> in Amsterdam for its visitors.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There is an often repeated claim that the song "Empty Chairs" was the inspiration for the popular song "<a href="https://youtu.be/mSYq0sNSAkA" target="_blank">Killing Me Softly with His Song</a>". Lori Lieberman, who first</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">recorded the song, claims that she wrote a poem after seeing McLean perform "Empty Chairs" in concert and that co-authors Charles Fox and </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Norman</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Gimbel </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">re-worked it into the song, which she later recorded on her debut album. Fox denies this, saying that the song’s lyrical genesis was</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">found in a notebook </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">of Gimbel’s that contained the phrase “Killing me softly with his blues.” They updated the phrase and wrote</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">the </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">song which Lieberman liked and said reminded her of watching McLean perform. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Pie_%28album%29#Controversies" target="_blank">More</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The original album cover art design of <i>The Wall</i> is a white brick wall with no text. Roger Waters had fallen out with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipgnosis" target="_blank">Hipgnosis</a> designer Storm Thorgerson.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Later CD covers would bear the band's name </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">and album title in either black or red text.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For this work, I have added two images from the movie <i>The Wall </i>and a fan-made calligraphy. The additional text is mine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>The Wall</i> is a story of alienation, oppression, isolation, despair and bombing out. A wall is a symbol of separation, restriction and exclusion. It sends a message that means containment, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">debasement, </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">lack of freedom and the forced imposition of someone else's will on another. Yet the human spirit is surprisingly insurmountable and history is replete with </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">the </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">fall</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">of famous walls. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The walled city of Babylon was considered impregnable during its time until </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrus_the_Great" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank">Cyrus the Great</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> diverted the Euphrates River to lower its water level and thus </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">enabl</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">ed </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">his army to </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">enter </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">the city through the river bed. The Storming of the Bastille was the </span><a href="http://www.bl.uk/learning/timeline/item106472.html" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank">flashpoint</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> of the French Revolution. </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Wall</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> concert was one of the</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">events that marked </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">celebrations over the </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Wall#Celebrations" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank">Fall</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> of the Berlin Wall in 1989. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Dynasties have built walls to contain themselves, exclude others or otherwise prove that what are within those walls are theirs. The erection of walls have</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">always been </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">accompanied </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">by </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">blatant displays of power and have often been served in conflict and ushered in dominance and servitude. But for every</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">whack of the whip of authority is an echo of </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">disillusionment, dismemberment </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">and </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">disintegration. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>The only man-made structure that is visible</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>from t</i></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>he dark side of the moon</i> <i>may yet be the next to fall.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Pink Floyd's <i>the Wall</i> is one of the most intriguing and imaginative albums in the history of rock music. Since the studio album's release in 1979, the tour of 1980-81, and the subsequent</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">movie of 1982, <i>the Wall</i> has become synonymous with, if not the very definition of, the term "concept album." Aurally explosive on record, astoundingly complex on stage, and visually</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">explosive on the screen, <i>the Wall</i> traces the life of the fictional protagonist, Pink Floyd, from his boyhood days in post-World-War-II England to his self-imposed isolation as a </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">world-renowned </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">rock star, leading to a climax that is as cathartic as it is destructive. </span><a href="http://www.thewallanalysis.com/main/" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Full article</span></a><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The original album cover art design depicts Saint George from an ancient Ethiopian manuscript called a <i>harag </i>dating back to the late 15th century. Saint George is the patron saint of Ethiopia. There is a</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">African art was the main influence of Proto-Cubism. The <i>Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907),</i> one of the early cubist works of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablo_Picasso#African-influenced_Period" target="_blank">Pablo Picasso</a>, the co-founder of the Cubist movement,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Recorded between 1985–86, <i>Graceland</i> features an eclectic mixture of musical styles, including pop, rock, a cappella, zydeco, isicathamiya, and mbaqanga.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Simon created new compositions inspired by the recordings made in Johannesburg, collaborating with both African and American artists. Simon faced controversy</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">for seemingly breaking the cultural boycott imposed by the rest of the world against the apartheid regime in South Africa at the time. In addition, some critics</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">viewed <i>Graceland</i> as an exploitive appropriation of their culture. Following its completion, Simon toured alongside South African musicians, combining the</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">music of Graceland and their own music.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Despite the controversy, </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Graceland</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> was a major commercial hit. His highest-charting effort in over a decade, Simon's return to the forefront of popular music was</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">considered a remarkable comeback. It attracted rave reviews from music critics, won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, and sold over 16 million copies</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">worldwide. <i>Graceland</i> has been called one of the best albums of the 1980s, and is present on list of "greatest" albums by multiple publications. It was added to</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">the </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">National Recording Registry in 2007 for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically important." </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graceland_%28album%29#Controversy" target="_blank">More</a></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On this work, the top fourth of the original album cover art design (from above the street lamp near the black car at right) was stretched so that the square image could fit into half an 18X10 canvass.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">was </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">pasted </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">at right and was flipped and the flipped image was pasted at left.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The first impression that one will have upon seeing this image is that it is half real and half unreal - that is, the flipped image is unreal. On closer look, the flipped image is not totally unreal,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">for its </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">bottom half resembles the reflections of tree and sky on clear waters. And then I wouldn't mind answering the question why those reflections are above pedestrians' heads </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">instead of below. But what if I saw that image in a record store and bought the album and played the record only to find that the music is playing backwards?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backmasking" target="_blank">Backmasking</a> is a recording technique in which a sound or message is recorded backward onto a track that is meant to be played forward. It </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">was popularised</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">by </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Beatles, </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">who used backward instrumentation on their 1966 album Revolver. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Backmasking was also used by Queen ("Another One Bites the Dust"),</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Eagles ("Hotel California"), Deep Purple ("Stormbringer"), and Led Zeppelin ("Stairway to Heaven"). </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.vh1.com/music/tuner/2014-02-20/15-songs-satanic-backwards-messages/" target="_blank">More</a> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here's the original album cover art design. A lot of rumours went with this image, mostly centred on the theory that 'Paul is dead.'</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The procession of The Beatles across the zebra crossing, say the conspiracy theorists, represents Paul's funeral. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">John Lennon leads in a white suit and symbolises the preacher; Ringo Starr is the mourner,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">dressed in black; George Harrison, in scruffy shirt and trousers, denotes the grave-digger; Paul is wearing an old suit and is the only one who is barefoot. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This, was a sign that Paul was the corpse. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Paul McCartney is left-handed, but here holds his cigarette in his right hand. At the time, cigarettes were commonly referred to as 'coffin nails'. This, therefore, could be seen as a message</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">that </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Paul's 'coffin lid' had been nailed down and that the man in the picture was a lookalike. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Paul is also out of step with the other band members. Each of the others </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">has his </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">left </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">leg</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">forward, but Paul has his right leg forward - again marking him out as different. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The VW Beetle in the background has the registration LMW 28IF - 28 being the age theorists say Paul would have been if he hadn't 'died'. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In fact, Paul was 27 when</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Abbey Road</i> was released - but fortunately for the theorists, Indian mystics count a person's age from conception, not birth, in which case Paul would have</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">indeed </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">been 28 at the time. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The band were famous followers of the Indian guru, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. It has also been suggested that the LMW</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">stands for </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">'Linda McCartney Weeps' - referring to his new wife whom he had married earlier that year. <span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1205310/Pictured-The-Beatles-album-cover-started-decades-long-conspiracy-theory.html" target="_blank">More</a></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The <a href="https://youtu.be/Z9pGRtP9WsI" target="_blank">fadeout</a> of "Strawberry Fields Forever" has John Lennon seemingly saying "<a href="http://www.vh1.com/music/tuner/2014-02-20/15-songs-satanic-backwards-messages/5/" target="_blank">I buried Paul</a>."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The image of the Beatles on the crossing has become one of the most famous and imitated in recording history. The crossing is a popular destination for Beatles fans. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">December</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2010, </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">the crossing was given </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">grade II listed status for its "cultural and historical importance"; the Abbey Road studios themselves had been given similar </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">status </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">earlier in the year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In 2013, Kolkata (India) Police launched a traffic safety awareness advertisement against jaywalking, using the cover and a caption that read: "If they can, why can't you?" <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbey_Road#Imagery" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">More</span></a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Of the 97 passengers and crew on board, 62 survived and the Hindenburg carried approximately 17,000 pieces of correspondence on its final voyage. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Amazingly,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">176 pieces survived </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">the crash and were postmarked four days after the disaster.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This small project was totally unplanned; I never imagined that the finished work would come out this way. To say it differently, I just kept on exploring possibilities and experimenting with</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">new tools </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">until I </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">finally decided to stop. When I did, the work came out this way. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I began with the <i>replace colour</i> and found that after repeated tries I could obtain the colours of the florescent paints that we used to paint the psychedelic posters that </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">decorated</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">our walls </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">back in the 1970s - </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">without changing the colour of the calligraphy and the image of the band at centre. Next, I experimented with different</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">levels </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">of the </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">stylize/extrude</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">; and then </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I decided </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">that the desired effect should emulate the globs of coloured lights that circled sleepily above our</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">heads </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">as we listened to the music </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">while we stood still on the dance floor. We were drunk or we were high. If not, we pretended to be. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In 1966-71 my parents sent me to a provincial high school that was owned and managed by the Roman Catholic Church. We</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">were </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">far </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">from the city. We usually hung out at a store nearby where we could share the latest news and I would go</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">directly to the </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">movie </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">section to see what's showing and what's coming. "Woodstock" was coming to the city.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Before I got the chance </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">to see it first run, <a href="http://www.biography.com/people/jimi-hendrix-9334756#synopsis" target="_blank">Jimi Hendrix</a> was dead.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I came to the city in 1971 to go to college (and work). There was an old dilapidated theatre at a </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">marketplace</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">with only </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">electric fans to circu</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">late the heavy air that reeked of </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">sweat even from the outside. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">posters </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">were old and torn and faded. The mud that caked the sidewalk led to the ticket booth</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">and inside. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I swore to myself I will never be in a place like this. But one fateful day, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"Woodstock" was showing. I lived to tell the story. With neither shame nor glory.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Art design and photo by Karl Ferris. Album produced by Chas Chandler. Track (UK), Reprise (US) 1967.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Jimi Hendrix disliked the UK cover of <i>Are You Experienced</i>, so arrangements were made for a photo shoot with graphic designer <a href="http://www.bitchinentertainment.com/html_articles/hendrix.html" target="_blank">Karl Ferris</a>. Hendrix wanted "something psychedelic", so he requested</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ferris because he appreciated the photographer's sleeve-work on The Hollies' <i>Evolution</i>. During a meeting with the band, Ferris told Hendrix that he wanted to hear more of their </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">music </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">from which to draw inspiration. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">They accommodated his request by allowing him to attend several sessions for their second album, </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Axis:Bold as Love</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Ferris brought home tapes from the sessions, which along with </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Are You Experienced</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> he listened to intently. His first impression of the music was that it was "so far out that</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">it seemed to </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">come from outer space", which inspired him to develop a backstory about a "group travelling through space in a Biosphere on their way to bring</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">their </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">unworldly space </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">music </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">to earth." </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">With this concept in mind, he took colour photographs of the band at Kew Gardens in London, using </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">a</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">fisheye lens which was then popular in </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Mod sub-culture. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Ferris used what (author Sean) Egan described as "an infrared technique</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">of his own invention which combined colour reversal with </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">heat signature", further enhancing the exotic nature of the image. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ferris was an experienced fashion photographer, and his interest in the finer details of his covers led him to choose the band's wardrobe. </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">seeing</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hendrix with his hair combed away from the scalp, Ferris requested that he wear it that way during the photo shoot. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hendrix's </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">girlfriend,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Kathy Etchingham, trimmed his hair to improve its symmetry, forming an afro that became </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">the basis of a homogenized</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Experience image. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Ferris chose the cover's yellow background and its surreal lettering, </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">and he intended</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">for a textured gatefold jacket that Reprise, as a cost-saving measure, did not approve. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Are_You_Experienced#Album_cover" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Full article</span></a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On this work I left the math to do the art. The original album cover art design (below) has 16 images of which six are monochromes and ten are colour photos. The ten colour photos were halved into</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">'reds' and 'blues'. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This work is actually composed of two montages. Each montage has 16 images.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For the montage at left, I used the five 'blue' images twice, positioning each one starting at top left and moving counter-clockwise. I used the monochromes to fill the remaining spaces.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For the montage at right, I used the five 'red' images also twice and the six monochromes for the remaining spaces to cover a total of 16 squares as I did at left. On some parts</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">a quarter size </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">of the image </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">four times. The arrangement of the 'red' images starts with the citrus vendor, the one to the right of the star-formed stack of</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">bullets (or bombs?), </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">moving half a step upwards then to the right corner, and from there towards the bottom left corner and then to the right, and</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">finally </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">moving half a </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">step </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">upwards, </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">ending with the same image as the one used at the start.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Art design by Steve Averill and Shaughn McGrath, photos by Anton Coribjn. Album produced by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno. Island 1991.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To parallel the band's change in musical direction, Averill and McGrath devised sleeve concepts that used multiple colour images to contrast with the seriousness of the individual,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">mostly monochromatic images from previous U2 album sleeves. Rough sketches and designs were created during the recording sessions, and some experimental designs were </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">conceived to closely resemble, as Averill put it, "dance-music oriented sleeves. We just did them to show how extreme we could go. But if we hadn't gone to these</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">extremes it may not have been the cover it is now."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">An initial photo shoot with the band's long-time photographer Anton Corbijn was done near U2's Berlin hotel in late 1990. They commissioned Corbijn for an additional</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">two-week </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">photo shoot in Tenerife in February 1991 and a four-day shoot in Morocco. Additional photos were taken in Dublin in June. The images were</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">intended </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">to confound expectations of U2, and their full colour contrasted with the monochromatic imagery on past sleeves.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Several photographs were considered as candidates for a single cover image. Ultimately, a multiple image scheme was used, as U2, Corbijn, Averill, and the</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">producers </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">thought that "the sense of flux expressed by both the music and the band's playing with alter egos was best articulated by the lack</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">of a </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">single </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">viewpoint". The resulting front sleeve is a 4×4 squared montage. Some photographs were used because they were striking</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">on their own, </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">while others </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">were used because of their ambiguity. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The German word "Achtung" translates into English as "attention" or "watch out". The title was selected in August 1991 near the end of the album</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">sessions. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">According to Bono, it was an ideal title, as it was attention-grabbing, referenced Germany, and hinted at either romance</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">or birth, </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">both of which were themes on the album. The band was determined not to highlight the seriousness of the lyrics</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">and instead </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">sought to "erect a mask". Bono said, "It's a con, in a way. We call it </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Achtung Baby</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">, grinning up our sleeves</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">in all </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">the photography. But it's probably the heaviest record we've ever made." </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achtung_Baby#Packaging_and_title" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Full article</span></a><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The album contains the instrumental piece "Sirius", which has become a staple of many big-time college and professional sporting arenas throughout North America. It is best known</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">for its use by the Chicago Bulls to introduce its starting line-up (including Michael Jordan) during its championship years of the 1990s. It was even the opening song of the </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">documentary </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Michael Jordan to the Max </i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">and is also used as the soundtrack for the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team tunnel walk before every home game.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The song was also used by the New Orleans Saints as their entrance music for Super Bowl XLIV. The Kansas City Chiefs also used it during kickoffs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">France's tennis team used the song as their entrance theme for the 2014 Davis Cup final against Switzerland. <span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_in_the_Sky_%28album%29" target="_blank">Full article.</a></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This work consists of two 9X9 images on an 18X10 frame. The two 1X9 blank spaces that were left allowed the placement of one image slightly above the other. If you see that the horizons of the two</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">images are perfectly joined together at the centre, that is purely coincidental. I didn't see it myself. I was too preoccupied with deciding which image should be on the left</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">and which should be </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">on the right. It was good to retain the album title on the original image alone, and so I positioned it at right.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The seemingly endless heap of slag somewhat spans the sluggishness of decaying English cities in the 1970s; an unwanted overgrowth the Industrial Revolution. </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">That was</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">a time when </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"summer" and "spring" and "fall" were common in song lyrics and "sunshine" and "rain" equated with love and loneliness </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">in romantic melodies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">But when you look up </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">at an oncoming storm while standing </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">on a potentially cancer-causing junk of metal </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">leftover, </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">the comfort of having</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">discharged </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">seems forgotten. There is much uncertainty </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">about the future on this image. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">What we </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">were afraid of back then are</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">unfolding now. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The continuous horizon portends painfully - or maybe it's just a "teen-age wasteland".</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">from a slag heap. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The decision to shoot the picture came from (band members John) Entwistle and (Keith) Moon discussing Stanley Kubrick</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">and the film </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.filmsite.org/twot.html" target="_blank">2001: A Space Odyssey</a></i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">According to photographer Ethan Russell, most of the band members were unable to urinate,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">so rainwater was tipped from an empty film canister </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">to achieve the desired effect. In 2003, the television channel VH1</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tom Petty once answered a critic's complaint about rock and roll not being very good by saying, "It's not supposed to be good. . . , it's rock and roll." </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Taken within the context of that <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2012/nov/05/velvet-underground-nico-readers-review" target="_blank">remark</a>, </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Velvet Underground and Nico</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> is very good, indeed. Taken within the standard of today's art, with its digital tools and indefinite techniques, of Andy Warhol's print of a banana on the cover of the</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">celebrated album, I might say, that's not the best banana you can find in any store, in any storage, or anywhere in cyberspace, but it's<a href="http://www.warhol.org/" target="_blank"> Andy Warhol</a>'s print. It has made its mark. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">That was good - when I was twelve years old.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Or in fact, it still is. </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In January 2012, the "Velvet Underground" business partnership sued The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc. after the Foundation</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">licensed the </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">cover's banana design to Incase Designs for use on a line of iPhone and iPad cases. So <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Velvet_Underground_%26_Nico#Album_cover" target="_blank">there</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I still don't understand why a banana would appear on the cover of a rock album which was classified punk before there was punk. That was awful;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">one <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2012/nov/05/velvet-underground-nico-readers-review" target="_blank">source</a> says the album </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">only sold ten thousand copies. But (the source also says) everyone who bought it formed a band. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I am not among them. My banana is a woman.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Print by Andy Warhol. Album produced by Andy Warhol and Tom Wilson. Verve 1967.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Released in early 1967, but recorded close to a year before, <i>The Velvet Underground & Nico</i>, along with The Beatles' <i>Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band</i>, introduced a new form of rock music:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">the artsy concept album. <i>Sgt. Pepper</i> had its lavish, high-concept album cover, while <i>The Velvet Underground & Nico</i> represented the postmodern side, with Andy Warhol’s banana on </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">a white</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">background. Musically, The Beatles pulled out all the stops, meticulously recording their album over several months. The Velvet Underground (Guitarist/singer Lou Reed,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">multi-instrumentalist John Cale, rhythm guitarist/bassist Sterling Morrison, drummer Maureen Tucker, and “chanteuse” Nico), on the other hand, needed just</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">3000 dollars and one day in the studio.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The result of that quick studio visit is astonishing, a combination of white noise, classic rock and roll, soul, and folk music, a sound that is impossible to</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">categorize </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">in anything else but “The Velvet Underground”. Wispy-gentle one moment, chugging and driving the next, disturbing a few minutes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">later, </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">and cacophonous at the end, </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Velvet Underground & Nico</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> was so far ahead of its time that it still sounds fresh today. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.popmatters.com/review/velvetunderground-st/" target="_blank">Full article</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There’s an awful lot of hurt in <i>Blue</i>. If I had to summarize the album in a single word, it would be “<a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Fergalicious" target="_blank">Fergilicious</a>.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If I had to summarize it in two words, however, </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">those two words would be </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">“beautiful pain.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In a 1979 <i>Rolling Stone</i> interview with Cameron Crowe, Mitchell said of <i>Blue</i>:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"There’s hardly a dishonest note in the vocals. At that period of my life, I had no personal defenses.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I felt like a cellophane wrapper on a pack of cigarettes. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I felt like I had absolutely no secrets</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">from the world and I couldn’t </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">pretend in my life to be strong. Or to be happy. But the </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">advantage of it </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">in the music was that there were no defenses there either." <span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.avclub.com/article/joni-mitchells-emblueem-45633" target="_blank">Full article</a></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here's Bruce Springsteen leaning on the shoulder of Clarence Clemons, the E Street Band sax player. The original album cover art design is at bottom right with the artist's name and album title.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Clarence was "The Big Man"; this work is just a repetition of the statement on the record that he and Bruce would occasionally duplicate this pose on stage while the lights were dim.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Offstage, Clarence "The Big Man" Clemons had a big heart. He helped raise over $2.5 million for Home Safe, a non-profit organization helping</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">victims of </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">child abuse and domestic violence. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">He would also personally visit abused children at Home Safe's campuses</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">to give them </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">words of </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">encouragement and practical advice about life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Big Man. The shoulder to lean on. The words of encouragement. Let's have more of them here.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The cover art of <i>Born to Run</i> is one of rock music's most popular and iconic images. It was taken by Eric Meola, who shot 900 frames in his three-hour session.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">These photos have been compiled in <i><a href="https://www.snapgalleries.com/photographers/eric-meola/" target="_blank">Born to Run: The Unseen Photos</a></i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The photo shows Springsteen holding a Fender Telecaster with an Esquire neck, while leaning against saxophonist Clarence Clemons. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">That image</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">became famous as the cover art. "Other things happened," says Meola, "but when we saw the contact sheets, that one just</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">sort of popped. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Instantly, we knew that was the shot." Ultra-thin lettering graced the mass-produced version:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">an unusual touch then; a design classic since. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_to_Run#Album_cover" target="_blank">Full article</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">so much more powerful than his albums." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"Bruce Springsteen came with Clarence. The band was in transition. It was a statement</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">about race as well. </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I wanted to capture on film </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">what they did in concert.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This image is a combination of four images: the original album cover design at top left and its reproduction at bottom right, and the negative of the original image at top right and its reproduction</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">at bottom left. The original dimensions of the images were adjusted in order to fit an 18 x 10 resolution screen. The whole new image was then posterized in order to make it appear</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">more like an illustration than a set of photographs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I really aimed to capture what I feel is the Stones' true persona, which to me is both rebellious and chaotic. I believe this is what the original album cover design meant to portray.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I wanted to multiply it four times.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This is the original album cover art design.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Actually, what I used as the original album cover design is the two-sided (front and back) cover of the two-record set. I halved it and placed the front cover</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">at left and the back cover </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">at right. The result is shown above. You will notice that the album title, which seems to have been written in red lipstick,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">is located near the middle of the image instead of extreme right. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On this image, the original album cover design was toned to sepia, processed with the extrude filter and posterized. The processed image is pasted at right. It was also stretched in order to plant the feet farther apart and thus make the destructive intent appear more resolute and forceful. The original was also toned to sepia, then reduced and pasted at the left over three rectangles joined together;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">one of solid dark brown that outlines the horizon and two two-toned vertical rectangles of equal sizes with their lighter sides facing each other. I placed the smaller image a little bit</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">off centre in order to give an illusion of distance from, and emphasis to, the larger image. The reflections or shadows are left to the imagination of the viewer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The processing with the extrude filter was really intended to make the image look shattered, influenced by, or as a result of, the guitar smashing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To my delight, the guitar appears to be disintegrating; its pieces falling to the floor. The sepia tone also blends well with the pink and green.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The original album cover art design was doubled and one was positioned higher above the other so that the inspector may not find his way to our superhero who has taken the place of his briefs on the clothesline, and the butler, having tried, and failed, is now hesitating to even provide a clue. Just stand there, mister butler, and be ready to switch off the lights as soon as the winged mammal and the man start struggling with each other. You'll know it when you hear the echo of the sound of his cane bouncing down the stairs. And inspector, had you studied enough science before you planned to retire, you would have known that bats are blind but echoes work to their advantage. Stand ready, sir butler!</span><br />

There was nothing anymore to pick and there was no other place to go. The bundle was all I could carry to heaven, gathered from the pillaged earth I was standing on. And if on my way some stranger would stop me for a shot, and bring it to the decaying city where he lived, and mounted my picture</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">on the Victorian frame that he picked up from some garbage heap, and hung it on the peppered wall that was left of the tenement that was planned for a palace but actually half-finished</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">and now totally forgotten, then I would know that I was heading in the right direction. But by the time that was done my back might have been broken and the stranger would not even</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">care to know if I ever got to the first step. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Still I would hope that he might.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My prose is junk; his pose is punk. Here's the original album covert art design.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The painting on the front of the album, showing an old man carrying a bundle of sticks, was allegedly purchased from a junk shop in</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Reading, Berkshire </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">by a Led Zeppelin roadie (though Jimmy Page has stated it was bought by Robert Plant). </span><a href="http://www.musicpilgrimages.com/album/index.php?alias=cover___led_zeppelin_iv.html" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Source</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The 19th-century rustic oil painting on the front of the album was purchased from an antique shop in Reading, Berkshire by Plant.The painting was then juxtaposed and affixed to the internal,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">papered wall of a partly demolished suburban house for the photograph to be taken. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Page has explained that the cover of the fourth album was intended to bring out</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">a city/country </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">dichotomy that had </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">initially surfaced on <i>Led Zeppelin III</i>: </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It represented the change in the balance which was going on. There was the old</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">countryman </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">and the blocks of flats </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">being knocked down. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It was just a way of saying that we should look after the earth, not rape and pillage it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">However, regarding the meaning of the album cover, he has also stated: </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The cover was supposed to be something that was for other people to savour rather than </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">for me</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">to actually spell everything out, </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">which would make the whole thing rather disappointing on that level of your own personal adventure into the music.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The album cover was among the ten chosen by the Royal Mail for a set of "Classic Album Cover" postage stamps issued in January 2010. </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Led_Zeppelin_IV#Album_cover_and_inside_sleeve" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Full article</span></a><br />
