Pink Floyd, Animals Cover Shoot (9A), Battersea Power Station, London, 1976

About the image

Photo shoot that was put together by design group Hipgnosis on behalf of Pink Floyd for the launch of their new album. Amid the crowd of spectators is Pink Floyd drummer Rick Wright, looking up at the inflatable pig still tethered between the chimneys of Battersea Power Station in London.

“I shot a whole roll of film of London’s famed Battersea Power Station when the Pink Floyd flew a blow-up pig above it for their Animals cover in 1976. To everyone’s horror, the inflated pig slipped free from its moorings while aloft. The band had originally hired an ex-police marksman to shoot it down if this happened, but he never showed up." -- Carinthia West
