Shawn Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Fairly simple idea, post a famous album cover and a picture of the actual location where it was shot. Black Sabbath's iconic debut LP cover from 1970 Photo Location - Mapledurham Mill near Reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillF Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) I know we've had this one recently, but it's worth another look, isn't it?

mjazzg Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Fairly simple idea, post a famous album cover and a picture of the actual location where it was shot. Black Sabbath's iconic debut LP cover from 1970 Photo Location - Mapledurham Mill near Reading. I've owned the LP in the past. I've visited Mapledurham scores of times, even at that time I was listening to the album, as it was close to where I grew up. Until this post I had no idea. Extraordinary what you learn from the O board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) I went to uni at Reading - don't recall the mill. Good thread idea, Shawn. Uffington white horse near Oxford - one of my favourite places. Someone must have used Cerne Abbas as a record sleeve!

Whoa--I have to find this place, if only to terrorize the residents with one too many "taking a historical/referential album cover" pictures.

Late Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Courtesy our own Brandon Burke. I think he also has a shot of the Grant & Green street sign in SF somewhere (from Street of Dreams). Whoa--I have to find this place, if only to terrorize the residents with one too many "taking a historical/referential album cover" pictures. When you do, let me know! I'd love to at least walk past. I'll be visiting SF in June. That record was my first exposure to Shepp. Still actually my favorite Shepp record, along with his half of New Thing At Newport.
