Pink Floyd, A Collection of Great Dance Songs Album Cover, 1981
By Storm Thorgerson
About the image
The front cover of A Collection of Great Dance Songs, a Pink Floyd compilation album released in 1981. The title is facetious, given that Pink Floyd is not known for making particularly danceable music. This is indeed conveyed through the album art, which features a photograph of ballroom dancers guyed to the ground so they cannot move.
Lambda Release Notes:
In 2008, Storm and SFAE celebrated Pink Floyd's 40th anniversary with an exhibition of signed photographs of images that he had created for the band over the years both as a founding member of the design collective Hipgnosis, and as an independent designer with StormStudios. These photographs were produced as signed, open editions and were only briefly available for sale as they were intended only for the anniversary celebration. Very few of any of these images were produced.
