The Case of the Painted Floorboards
Entry 1683 posted in: The Holy Church of Iggy the Inuit
Summer 1969.
Harvest hotshots ask Hipgnosis to design a sleeve for Syd Barrett's The Madcap Laughs album that is in its final mix. Storm Thorgerson goes to Syd's flat to take the some shots, but decides later, for whatever reason, to use the (Mick Rock influenced) pictures that have been taken months before.
Alternative titles for this intriguing and spectacular blogpost could
have been:
Of toy planes and dirty feet...
Still life with
daffodils and pot of paint...
The great madcap laughs swindle...
but
eventually the Holy Igquisition settled for...
The
Case of the Painted Floorboards
Read it, at your own risk, at the Holy Church of Iggy the Inuit!
