The Piper Cover
Original Piper cover photographer Vic Singh guides us through how
he came to create Pink Floyd's first ever album cover for The Piper At The Gates of
Dawn.
Piper is widely regarded to be one of the first and most innovative
Psychedelic Rock albums ever released. For the time when shot, the prism lens - given
to Vic by George Harrison from The Beatles - was cutting edge!

I will be making all of the Wall Concerts (except 11th Feb 1980) available as SHN/FLAC

below.
The Wall album was performed live a total of 31 times in California, New
