The Pronouced cover is in Jonesboro Ga. The train station and the album cover area are also shown as Texarkana TX. in Smokey and the Bandit ua-cam.com/video/lQjlU82c31Y/v-deo.html jump to the 2:15 mark.. Skynyrd's album cover spot was just off to left (in the video) you can't see it... about 100 feet in front of the heritage bank.
As far as famous album covers go, I had the opportunity to walk on the Beatles' Abbey Road crosswalk in front of EMI studios in London in 2002. It's just about a block away from the St. John's Wood Underground station. It's smaller than it appears on the album cover, like a lot of things do in real life, and a lot of people were using it to cross the street like it was nothing special. I guess when you live there and see it every day, then it's just part of the neighbourhood.
If you're ever curious as to what it looks like or what's going on there at this very moment, you can always see a live streaming video of the spot at www.earthcam.com/world/england/london/abbeyroad/?cam=abbeyroad_uk (although the view seems to be looking in the oppisite direction than the famous album cover photo) I wonder how long you have to watch the cam on average before you happen to catch a group of tourists attempting to re-create the photo?
So cool ! Especially with Black sabbath’s debut. It’s hard to match sitting in your music room , listening to an album while you check out the cover and printed inner sleeves. Great video !
I just thought it was a witch or something. I remember when I was a kid, maybe 8 yrs old or so, in about 1972, I was at my cousin's house and we were down in his "bedroom" which was really just a dark corner of their unfinished basement, and he pulled this album out from on top of a duct where he had it hidden, and the album cover scared the shit out of me. He was a few yrs older than me, so probably 14 or 15, and he says, "You HAVE to promise you won't tell my mom I have this!" I agreed to keep my mouth shut...back then, Sabbath REALLY scared the shit out of people! People that are younger will never fully appreciate the impact this band had at that time, but back then, people talked about Sabbath with a fearful reverence. People really thought they were Satanists and evil as hell, and getting caught with their albums as a kid meant serious punishment...just listening to them was nearly a guarantee you're heading for Hell, if you listened to a lot of the adults, lol. Anyway, he checks to make sure we were alone in the house, and he puts the album on and turns out the lights! Listening to the song "Black Sabbath" cranked up in that dark basement as a kid scared me like nothing else ever had at the time...listening to Ozzy scream from Hell on that song had a serious impact on me and it changed my life...that was the moment I started listening to harder rock and developed a serious addiction to it that is present to this day. A HUGE thanks to my cousin Mike (RIP) for introducing me to the dark side of things, lol.
6:00 I always also thought it was Ozzy on the picture, but then remember that Ozzy did not have his creepy dark appearance until way later in his career.
When Eddie Van Halen died, I spent the morning using Google Maps “Street View” (and clues from the internet) to see the exact location where Eddie wrote his name in the concrete of a sidewalk in Pasadena, CA. Google will sometimes have street views from different years so it took a bit of fiddling to find the right year and angle from which to see it. In one year a car was blocking the way haha
LIKE number 3 which I did with glee. Cover art is a huge part of the appeal of collecting records. Tiny thumbnail images on a phone can't compete with 12-inch by 12-inch images that add another level of enjoyment to the music. :)
Especially with a cover like The Rolling Stones "Their Satanic Majesties Request", with it's lenticular (3D) picture. There would probably have been more albums with that kind of cover except that the cost of producing them is prohibitively expensive. Originally the picture for "Satanic" was meant to cover the whole front of the jacket, but that would have been way too expensive, so they reduced it and added a swirling blue and white border.
I used to design album covers, back when they were ALBUM covers, & it was a very involved process with lots of meetings with the artist & management, discussing concepts & whatnot, mocking up comps, usually had a couple of revisions or at least a request for some small detail to be finessed. Then after the advent of CDs, the process became a lot quicker, & eventually it seemed like the artwork wasn't nearly as important, at least not down to the last detail, as it once had been. I quit doing them when people stopped paying the big bucks to have them designed. Shame. It was a legit art form, as far as I'm concerned. I remember as a teenager coming home with a new record & combing over every square inch of the album cover while I listened to it. Back in those days (before MTV & certainly before UA-cam), they were the only VISUAL we had to associate with the music we listened to. They played heavily into what we knew about the artists behind the music & the feelings the music evoked. Most importantly, they stimulated our imaginations. Now they're inconsequential, if they even exist at all. Yet another dimension of music that has been lost to technology. I feel sorry for kids today. They'll never hear the warmth & depth of an analog recording. They'll never know the beauty of a live performance, how differently a song can manifest itself from one night to the next, without real-time pitch correction & a backing track being blended in to smooth out the "rough" edges. And they never have to use their imaginations, never see where their minds might take them. Sad.
@@tomfurgas2844 Haha! I actually found that cover at my local Value Village with the lenticular image still intact, but it was missing the record inside, but that particular album, music-wise, sucked in my opinion, but luckily for me, the record included with the cover was The Gene Rains Group "Rains in the Tropics' exotica album which is very hard to find, so I had the best of both worlds; a cool Rolling Stones album cover and a highly sought after and rare exotica record for only $2 purchased two years ago. :)
@@nannettefreeman7331 Wow! That's amazing that you designed record and CD covers, Nannette, and I agree that it's a lost art form much like movie posters these days with lazy Photoshop shots of the actors faces (or shots of the band for albums) and not inspirational at all to make one want to see the movie or buy the album. However, I have seen younger people for the past several years (teens and twenty-somethings) that are discovering the beauty of vinyl records and I hope it becomes a lifelong passion for them, not just a hipster trend. We'll see and the absurd prices of newly-released record albums won't help to keep that passion alive or it will just be a small niche market.
@@nannettefreeman7331 Great share, Nannette! As a "jacket nerd," (and former radio jock and retail record store mgr in the '70s and early '80s), I'd love to know, if you're game to share, the label(s) for whom you worked. One Barry Hansen (Dr. Demento) once wrote about jacket SPINES! Thinking I was the only one who noticed or even cared, it was cool to hear his dissertation on, say, the squared-off spines (with the angled lines at the top that accompanied the catalog #) of Columbia's jackets, or the rounded ones of RCA and Warner Bros (and most everybody else). Gatefolds, of course, had spines that simply included the continued artwork that was displayed on front and back covers. Plus, with the advent of CDs and downloads, the spine was one of the first real pieces of the album jacket to became completely extinct. With CDs, you still had the artwork, but as mentioned, frustratingly smaller, with many times, the jacket back either non-existent, or radically different than the original LP release. Anyway, thanks again, Nannette!😎🎶✔
I went to see the Ziggy Stardust album cover site on Heddon Street in London a few years ago. It’s a short walk from Piccadilly Circus and is now a developed area with trendy restaurants and bars. Almost unrecognizable except for a couple of the brick buildings in the background.
Ha, ha, ha, as a YES fan since 1976 I just was thinking along those same lines that I want him to find the locations Roger Dean uses. On a serious note, I was thinking he could do the cover to Going For The One. I think they are towers in LA.
@@gerardcooney1810 I listened to that album REALLY high on mushrooms about 30 years ago. It blew my mind! I will never hear "Sound Chaser" quite the same again.
@@thislazylife same here! My friends always stayed stuck on grateful dead, but everytime i tripped i went straight to Yes on headphones, especially Relayer!
Paul's Boutique was groundbreaking. It's made nearly entirely of samples and it was the first album of it's kind. It's one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time.
Great video, Moving Pictures was Rush's 8th album though. Absolute classic! One of my friends got to see the watermill where that Sabbath album cover was taken.
You're both wrong...Moving Pictures was Rush's 7TH Album. Rush, Fly By Night, Caress of Steel, 2112, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves and then Moving pictures! Not 6th or 8th! Sorry fellas!
I live only about an hour away from where that self titled Black Sabbath photo was taken! If you're ever in the UK there are some amazing pieces of musical history around here. Headley Grange is nearby where a lot of Led Zepplin's music was recorded/demos written as well as Fleetwood Mac. There are also some brilliant guitar stores (Anderton's and Guitar Village) nearby which may be of interest to you even to just see some of the rare instruments on display
Dude, do I know you?! Love those guitar shops (my band mates and I get most of our gear from Andertons) Know Mapledurham well - but where’s Headley Grange?
Am I right in thinking that the band purchased the grange for a tiny amount of money? Also Jimmy Paige it is said practiced devil worship or seances there? That could just be a tale? Thanks.
The Moving Pictures artwork is a triple entendre as men are moving pictures, people are moved by the pictures, AND the back cover has a film crew filming a moving picture. If the paintings were of motion, it could have been a quadruple entendre.
Fascinating look at album cover locations, then and now. I think album covers are almost as important as the music inside them. Hoping you do more vids on covers in the future, Frank! One possible topic might be an overview of album covers that have only images, no titles or band names. Such as the Led Zeppelin covers like "Houses Of The Holy".
Excellent content, Frank! I live quite near Mapledurham - next time you are over in the UK, I’ll be happy to show you round by way of homage to one of my fave albums (and covers).
Awesome look at then & now ! Bet the residents of the Physical Graffiti buildings get tired of those taking a 📷. My favorite album cover is Heaven Up Here by Echo & The Bunnymen which won the 🇬🇧 equivalent of a Grammy 🏆 & should still be the same today , as it was 📷 on a beach ⛱
Great video. Thanks for doing it! Hopefully you do more rock history, iconic type stuff. There's a whole series there maybe. Kind of like a filming locations thing.
Great stories! My Uncle lived on St. Mark's for decades right across from the iconic Physical Graffiti album cover apartment. I never realized this until just recently. While doing a YT cover of Black Country Woman for some reason I looked up the building and was shocked. It was then I realized, he passed away one year to the day.
Great video Frank!!! As a young man collecting vinyl many years ago I used to love looking at the album artwork as I listened to my Lps. Cudos to you for doing an awesome job on these iconic albums...... I own the Led Zeppelin one and never knew it's history. Let's have more of these please. Keep on spinning Frank!👍
This is a really good video Frank. I enjoyed the facts along with the google maps screen capture. Have you made this a series? I'd like to see more. When I was in New York, I didn't have time to visit the famous location of Paul's Boutique but hope to one day.
That Black Sabbath album cover photo, combined with the "Still falls the rain" story, had a profound impact on me as a 13 yr kid. Writing this now I get chills. "Tired of repeating yesterday's horrors". OMG the memories
Frank you are on a Ripkenesque streak here of great episodes! That winter break did you well. If the next episode is a breakdown of Too Fast for Love on Leathur v Elektra records my prayers will have been answered!
Wow, great show Frank ! Well what a trip to find out that the backdrop for Moving Pictures is none other than Queen's Park. The debates in there get quite fiery so why not use it as a symbolic connection to the foreground. Cheers !
I am so glad that I stumbled into your videos. I have lots of 33 rpm LPs. There’s so much crap online these days. I subscribed, because you have so much interesting information on LPs and places that I’m very familiar with. Keep up the good work.
I like to go on Google Maps and find these locations while I'm listening to the record. I'm actually surprised that you did the same thing as a video! I like the "Fool For The City" cover by Foghat because you can see the exact manhole he was fishing in and Lynyrd Skynyrd's first album cover.
I've been to the physical graffiti building many times but not in decades. I grew up in the Bronx and would make many trips into the city and the village. Especially to tower records and Bleeker Bob's which was a great record store back in the day. Not sure if it still exists. Very cool thing to do Frank, this was fun.
The Mill at Mapledurham also features in the film “The Eagle has landed” with Michael Caine & Donald Sutherland ! Some excellent footage of the mill & surrounding area.
I'd like to see more, especially those shot in obscure towns (away from the major cities). Or that feature places that no longer exist like the old WTC.
I did this a couple months ago and found the exact spot that Lynyrd Skynyrd posed in the debut album 'pronounced LS'
Cool, I may have to add that one to my list for next time. Thanks!

That Black Sabbath album cover photo, combined with the "Still falls the rain" story, had a profound impact on me as a 13 yr kid. Writing this now I get chills. "Tired of repeating yesterday's horrors". OMG the memories
Please do more. Great video!
Thank you! Will do!
Very cool Frank! Great idea!
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome! MORE, MORE MORE!
More to come!
Loved this video! It's great to see these places today that we've all seen forever on album covers! Thanks Frank!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cinderella’s “Night Songs” would be an easy one. It’s right next to south street in Philly.
Frank you are on a Ripkenesque streak here of great episodes! That winter break did you well. If the next episode is a breakdown of Too Fast for Love on Leathur v Elektra records my prayers will have been answered!
Very cool. I’d like to see more of these
That was an excellent way to show those locations Frank great job make more when you have time
Thanks Jeff. I will do another one -- hopefully in June.

Glad you found there video useful.

Super job Frank,,That's was very informative ..hope you have a good week
Thanks, you too!
The mill on the Sabbath album is the same mill that's in the Michael Caine movie The Eagle has landed. Bit of trivia for you.
Nice!! Keep'em coming!!
Super fun video! More Please!
More to come!
Loved this one, My favs are the Viewer listening rooms but this is a very close second. Good Job!
Thanks!
would love to see more like this
On Rush's A Farewell To Kings album, they have Toronto in the background.
I think most people thought the model lady was Ozzy lol. This is a cool video, dude! Makes me want to go look some things up.
Wow, great show Frank ! Well what a trip to find out that the backdrop for Moving Pictures is none other than Queen's Park. The debates in there get quite fiery so why not use it as a symbolic connection to the foreground. Cheers !
Super informative and interesting video, well done! Definitely earned my like/sub!
Thanks John!
I did a NYC Rock and Roll Street tour a few years back and one of the spots we went to was the Physical Graffiti shot location.
What a great idea! It cool to see how things look today.
Glad you liked it!
I am so glad that I stumbled into your videos. I have lots of 33 rpm LPs. There’s so much crap online these days. I subscribed, because you have so much interesting information on LPs and places that I’m very familiar with. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, I appreciate that
I like to go on Google Maps and find these locations while I'm listening to the record. I'm actually surprised that you did the same thing as a video! I like the "Fool For The City" cover by Foghat because you can see the exact manhole he was fishing in and Lynyrd Skynyrd's first album cover.
What a great idea for a video! Great video itself too! :)
Thanks! More to come
I've been to the physical graffiti building many times but not in decades. I grew up in the Bronx and would make many trips into the city and the village. Especially to tower records and Bleeker Bob's which was a great record store back in the day. Not sure if it still exists. Very cool thing to do Frank, this was fun.
Just found this channel. A few videos deep and I fuckin love it!
Hello. I just stumbled on your channel. It's very interesting. I am now a subscriber and look forward to watch your other videos. Great work!
Thanks Caroline. Welcome!

The Mill at Mapledurham also features in the film “The Eagle has landed” with Michael Caine & Donald Sutherland !
Some excellent footage of the mill & surrounding area.
Great idea... That should be expand for more...
I'd like to see more, especially those shot in obscure towns (away from the major cities). Or that feature places that no longer exist like the old WTC.
