The creative geniuses behind album art for Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Paul McCartney. Conjurers of impossible visuals, Hipgnosis were at the white-hot center of the maddest, funniest, and most creative era in the history of popular music.

Fantastic film really enjoyed it seen it in Chicago on June 20th. I need to do a count on how many Hipgnosis covers I have. One of the items I have always wanted was a original "The Object" that was given out as promotion to radio executives only 1,000 were made for that run. I did not know that Hipgnosis made 8 for the band and staff. To hear Robert say he did not know where his was, I gasped LOL..... I will take it Robert 😁. I did not want the film to end I wanted to hear more stories on how these great art works were made. Looking forward to seeing this again and I have been telling everyone about it. Thank you Aubrey and Storm and Utopia.
Great documentary! Re: “The Object” on Led Zep’s Presence album cover - I am honored to have one of 1,000 ever made (I have #160). My brother bought it in the ‘80s from a rock memorabilia store call It’s Only Rock n Roll of W 8th St in Greenwich Village NYC, so I know it’s legit.
Jimmy Page at the end is priceless
great album
He is right
that was definitely a jab at Plant and Jones who were responsible most of the music on the album.
I often was surprised that artist I like the most back then had hypgnosis as the album artwork ... PF, 10cc, UFO, LZ ... just brilliant stuff
Obsession by UFO has a funny back story ... they feature Michael Schenker for his obvious great guitar playing and Michael asked PhilMogg later about the cover wondering ''why he didn't have any balls''?
I heard Schenker never showed up for the photo shoot so they just put in a photo of him “sans balls”.
Saw it last night. Really enjoyed it!
I’m all in. Watching it at the theatre
r + (1/9)r approximates the square root of ((L²)/2)
Where the circumference of a circle with radius "r" approximates the perimeter of a square with side length "L". This is squaring the circle. Always approximates because of pi.
looking forward to seeing this on a streaming service someday in 2023.
Correction. Can see it later this month about 10 miles away. Huge!
It's on Netflix.
havent seen jimmy page alot and now here he is!
Too bad this won't be showing in any theatres near me. I would love to go see it.
A beautiful and lost art. AI is taking the piss!
this movie was fucking beautiful
I haven't seen Genesis covers, indeed they made four albums with them, among their best...
Yes covers are missing as well, although Roger Dean is their iconic cover-maker
it's a trailer, not a list of contents
Will there be a DVD or Blu-ray?
Great film!
Images that have influenced entire generations. And many visual artists too, whose paintings were infinitely less powerful than these works of art!
Beautiful :)
In through the outdoor is one of the greatest albums of all time. After Presence and Physical Graffiti, I listen to ITOD the most. Jimmy's opinion is biased. He may not have written most of those songs, but it features some of his most dynamic guitar work.
Can't wait! When its gonna release?
6/7 in NYC, 6/16 in LA and begins a national expansion on 6/20 in theaters only! Tickets to go on sale in the coming weeks!
@@UtopiaMoviesdon't forget a version, at least subtitled, for the Italian market. The passion for LPs, and covers, has had enormous importance for Italy... 😉
I liked this 12 years ago when it was called Taken by Storm, a feature doc about the same subject. But of course, Anton Corbijn gets all his famous friends to make cameos and sells his doc off their names after ripping off Roddy Bogawa.
Thanks, can't find this one, but the before mentioned is free on YT.
As if every single subject is allowed by law only one point of view retrospective work about them. Get off it.
ALBUM COVER BEST HISTORY! I knew STORM and AUBREY being a great album cover designer myself! STORM stories amazing in my life!
Those Ramones covers are iconic.
"that cover was better than the album!" laughs- Jimmy Page
I heard that the album cover of Def Leppard's High 'n Dry was another Pink Floyd reject.
Not in streaming?? What?
wait ya chump, it'll stream after the release
Dynamic duo…
C'mon. Theaters only? It's a documentary. This needs to be on streaming at a cost of course.
It will stream and be available to purchase later in year!
Not sure if you're aware but documentaries are movies and usually deserving of theatrical releases. Obviously it will come to streaming shortly after. Relax.
You wouldn’t leave your home for anything
It’s worth the theatre. Great movie!
Stop moaning and pay up.
Records are the poor man's art collection.
Great quote
Noel no matter what you think of him always has great quotes
Vinyl is pretty pricey these days tbf
@@kriddz To someone got used to have free music, yes. To me it's 3 months of Spotify vs an album of music I like and the artworks.
@@istisel I'm actually more of a traditionalist than streaming from Spotify, I rip the album from UA-cam actually and then put in on my phone :D
What is the name of the first one song?
No Heavy Petting, Force It, Lights Out? No U F O? Criminal!!!
"And all our yesterday's, go sailing out of view" Pack It Up And Go/U F O/1978
Anyone who knows the baddass trailer intro?
The drugs suck. Even hear Ozzy, slash etc. after rehab. Also Angus Young don't even drink 1989 MTV interview shows etc. Many others like Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull avoided drugs too. Get more done on coffee than coke
Dunno... What does that have to do with it? 🤔
@@nikcrown I'm saying they're overrated. And people think they're better than they actually are. Don't have to have anything to do with it. It's supplemental extra commentary
@@Charles-tv6oi even those who have used them for decades (see Keef), NEVER said that others had to try them... But at the same time, they don't deny their past. And then we need to understand about drugs that annihilate, and what they don't (and not because I say so...)🤷🏻♂️
@@nikcrown go by experience in observing others . I do
Our founder @drewellis is proud to have been a part of the team and is featured in the full film...
I've watched this documentary twice and twice I've been disappointed with it. It's too bad, really because I love Anton Corbijn's work and I like most of the bands featured on this doc.
What I found disappointing about this film is that as far as bans were concerned, most of the focus was on Pink Floyd and second most was on Led Zeppelin. All other bands or people got third or fourth billing. Graham Gouldman from 10cc was barely in it. Paul McCartney and Peter Gabriel were kind of more in it but definitely not as much as Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. There was just a hint of mention at PG's first album before quickly switching to another subject. The same can be said for 10cc and Paul McCartney. They just weren't included as much as Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin.
This could have been a much better doc if Anton had featured bands in equal time in addition to covering the story of Po and Storm.
Roger Waters referring to somebodyvas insufferable - oh the irony 😂
The golden age of the music business. But where were the women?
None of their art ever really impressed me...they were cold, soulless, abstract, sensational, and empty-feeling covers. I think their main claim to fame is that the music on those albums and the bands who they were supporting were automatically iconic, and the albums d***ed well weren't successful, or distinctive, because of any aspect of the covers. Those covers just became very familiar to us over the years as...well, the covers of those albums.
* * I hope to be better than the book , by Mark Blake. Us and Them, the authorised story of Hipgnosis : 380 pages and ONLY 16 pages !!! with small photos. O.M.G. ! 😭😭😭😡😡😡 * *
Much of secular bunk is ok but Christians like Micheal Omartain ,who even Steely Dan used as a keyboardist on the Aja album are better. Micheal Omartain was producer n has endless contributions. Alive And Well etc even get played on secular radio. Has some pretty beautiful spacy parts n wild jams even between slower songs. Jams more than Floyd.
Thankfully AI will rid us of all this. 😢
Hopefully AI will rid us of you
