- ‘Wish You Were Here’ (1975) Wish You Were Here’s legendary artwork was a comment on the insincerity prevalent in the music industry. One of the album’s key tracks, Have A Cigar, referred directly to the subject – and the expression “Man I’ve been burnt”, in relation to being ripped off – giving Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey Powell the idea of creating a sleeve featuring two businessmen, one of whom was literally being burnt in a business deal.
- ‘Animals’ (1977) Taking the idea that “pigs might fly” in the most literal sense, Roger Waters suggested that 1977’s Animals should be housed in a sleeve featuring a photograph of London’s Battersea Power Station, with a pig floating between its chimneys.
- ‘The Division Bell’ (1994) For 1994’s The Division Bell, Storm Thorgerson came up with the idea of two large metal heads, each approximately the height of a double-decker bus, which were erected in a field in Ely, Cambridgeshire.

It be...

On the first day of the shoot, the pig broke free of the ...

The cover of the Soundtrack to the French film “More” was chosen to be listed in the Top 10 Pink Floyd album covers list because of the use of color against the silhouettes featured on the front cover artwork.

The deep superimposition mix of various items displayed on the cover of Pink Floyd’s A Saucerful of Secrets LP provides album purists with one of the best arguments for defending vinyl albums as the choice of media for rock music. There is no way a small compact disk cover or, even worse, a digital cover icon can display the intricate designs that ...
Talk about making a statement. Bam! This cover hits you right away. Two head sculptures facing each other positioned in a large field at the break of dawn. I really didn’t know what it meant, but art is not always about interpretation; sometimes, you take art in and enjoy just the sheer beauty of the photograph. The silver color and sharp focus of ...
