David Emm Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I had the usual Pink Floyd indicia, but my real prize was a 3-D-ish promotional mobile of the handshake from Wish You Were Here. Heck of an homage to a true genius burned to a crisp by LSD overload. These guys delivered some of the best LP art of that era. Good luck getting that same rush from a CD insert, which you wouldn't see anyway, because its all digital now. To paraphrase Zappa, "Art isn't dead, it just smells funny." https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/hipgnosis-180000658.html Quote "Stay tuned for a new band: Out Of Sync." ~ "The Vet Life" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Muscara Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 We are going to see this movie tonight. I'm really looking forward to it. I've long seen the credit "cover by Hipgnosis" on some of my favorite albums so I can't wait to find out the stories behind them. Quote "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

Joe Muscara Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 It was a great movie. I knew nothing of the story of Hipgnosis except that they did lots of the cool covers of albums I had and knew until I saw the trailer when I was there for other movies a few weeks ago. Po is, as you might notice in the trailer, the center of the film as he should be, though there are clips of Storm as well. I highly recommend it. I'm sure many of us have lots of these albums in our collections. Quote "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

stoken6 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I presume this Hipgnosis (the design studio that did cool album covers) has no link to that Hipgnosis (that's buying the back catalogue of loads of artists)? Cheers, Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 The funny thing is, Hipgnosis Songs is one of the producers of the movie, with their logo shown at the beginning with the other production companies involved. Yet, I see nothing on Hipgnosis Songs' web site regarding a relationship to the design studio. Quote "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!
