I don't know if this topic has been broached before but,
Who are the couple standing by the gate on the cover of Unhalbricking? I have just been listening to it and have looked in the sleeve, but could not find any indication as to who they may be.
Just curious

Cant find the photo to attatch, but acording to the bio, it is sandys mum and dad with the band taking tea in the garden.
Only other point of(dis)interest is that the americans thought this would be unsuitable for their market so the usa album had a procession of elephants instead ??

When I first lived in London in the late 70s, I was in a flat in Southfields, just down the road from Wimbledon Village. I could see the church spire on the horizon, and knew it looked familiar. It wasn't until I took a walk up the hill itself that I realised the reason. My flatmate and I found ourselves looking into a driveway at a trellissed fence with the church in the background. "Bloody hell," said my mate. "We're on the cover of Unhalfbricking!"

And just for comparison the original cover. Ummm which is best? Intrestingly on the US version the small picture above the elephants is Fairport in the garden as on the original picture. [attachment deleted by admin] |

Wonder how long it took for each band member to get their head lined up into a different trellis hole for the photo  |

Not really. If they were all looking at the camera they would have moved so that they could see the camera lens. As long as they could see the lens then the lens could see their eyes...

I would attach a photograph if i knew how to.
Type; {IMG}http://url of picture goes here{/img} but use square brackets instead of the curly ones. Amazon is a great place to 'steal' the URL's of pictures from - if you 'quote' a post with the pic in you will see how its done;  |
