Okay, this is awesome. Flaming Pablum favorite Bob Egan of PopSpots NYC has apparently payed a visit to dear ol’ Blighty, and come back with a robust selection of intricate album cover origins that’ll make you spill your tea. Click here to see Bob divine the original locations for such albums as Bowie’s The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, Ian Dury’s New Boots & Panties, the Beatles’ Abbey Road, the first Clash album (see above) and much, much more. If you’re a fan of slavish attention to detail, you’ll so dig it.
I did want to add one thing, though: Bob traces the covers of the Beatles compilations 1962-1966 and 1967-1970 (or Red and Blue, respectively) to the EMI House on Manchester Square. Those fabled photographs were also mimicked by….
…The Sex Pistols!
