Album art
I was wondering about somthing that Nick said in "Inside Out" about how Storm had drawn up a few album covers for Dark Side and the one they picked was.....well we all know that but I was wondering if anyone knows what any of the others were and if so then what were they?

I hope this helps, it's taken from a recent interview with Storm Thorgerson himself:
Ron(Interviewer): I understand that you presented the band with seven pieces of conceptual art for "Dark Side of the Moon" in which they picked the prism design almost immediately. Do you remember what some of the other design options were?
Storm: Yes one was a surfer. A Silver Surfer.
Ron(Interviewer): Like from Marvel Comics?
Storm: Yes. I can't think what the others were. People ask me that question and it's a pity they're lost. I wish I hadn't lost them.
The full interview, which took place in Chicago just last week, can be found on Col's site 'A Fleeting Glimpse' HERE Enjoy!
How's that for a prompt answer to your question, straight from Storm himself!!!!

yes, but not that much, and TDSOTM cover art would have to be thought out before the album entered the final production stages.Jangus wrote:?mosespa wrote:Maybe some of them ended up on A Nice Pair?
I dont get if this a weird joke or something.
The pictures on A Nice Pair were all ideas for the actual cover right? Wait. A Nice Pair was before DSOTM wasnt it?
