Current Photos Of Famous Album Cover Locations

The 2 front license plates that are visible are not official state plates. Florida only required a rear plate. There's a tiny bit of what looks like a white on maroon plate visible. Wisconsin, Massachusetts and Missouri used white on maroon plates in 1965. Could be a Missouri car in Florida. Missouri is a two plate state.

 

Sadly almost all 1776 photos by that photographer are tagged as 1965 (even that ones with a 1980s style !!!) but it could be end 1960s /early 1970s in my opinion
I didn't realize the ori photo was rotated!!! I'm losing my edge.

Thank you, I've found this hd postcard from the album, maybe you can check the plate https://ia802504.us.archive.org/23/...rs Exit Planet Dust postcard front edited.jpg

 

It looks like an image of a man with a hat, but I can't figure out what it says. Definitely an unofficial front plate (they're called "booster plates").

 

I think you're right about late 60s/early 70s, judging by the cars.

 

The car is a 1968 Plymouth Road Runner. Looks pretty new.

 

Does anyone know where the cover for Mink DeVille's second album, Return to Magenta,
was taken? I'm sufficiently technically backward that I can't post a picture of it, but it's a
well-known cover depicting Willy DeVille leaning on the railing of the roof of a building,
overlooking the tops of the other buildings in the neighborhood. Considering that the band
was based in NYC and were not uptown sorts, I'm guessing the location was Alphabet City,
the lowest and east-est section of the Lower East Side. That would suit Willy's lifestyle at the
time. I wonder if anyone knows the exact location, or anything about the photo shoot. The photo
is credited to one Duana Lemay.

 

Here's the image... maybe someone can ID it from the buildings in the background.

 

Thanks! Much appreciated.
It's a great cover. Suits Mink Deville's romantic NYC street vibe perfectly.

 

Very much so, although the album doesn't grab me as much as their first one.

Who can identify this street from an album by Roy Loney?
Looks like San Francisco

 

Thank u sir. Plenty more where that came from here -----> London: Part 1

 

This is a well known location, but the photo is very recent, so it’s worth posting here.

53 Berkeley Street, Boston, MA, as photographed by me on 28 April 2024:



Today, it’s a 7-Eleven, but back in the late 1960s this was the site of the famous Boston Tea Party club, where The Velvet Underground played many times.

The band were photographed in front of the club’s entrance for the back cover of White Light/White Heat:



Compare the stonework of the pillar on the right-hand side of the album cover with my modern-day photo. You can see it’s the same building.

An original handbill for a Velvets gig at the Boston Tea Party, in August 1967, from my personal collection:

 

awesome

 

Not a cover, but an inner sleeve we're almost all familiar with:


Anybody know where exactly this photo was taken?

 

1911 - Olive Avenue | Burbank In Focus

 

Perhaps not famous to most of you on SHF, but certainly famous for anyone here that lived in the Allentown Pennsylvania area (or the Lehigh Valley). The back side of the Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass LP S.R.O released in 1966 depicts the Allentown Fairgrounds Grandstand. I saw many concerts there over the years. Headliners such as Chicago, B.T.O., Doobie Brothers, James Gang, Beach Boys, Kansas, The Outlaws, ZZ Top, etc.

 

Sorry I don't know the records the burbank photo came from

 

Far freaking out. I used to work literally next door to that building (and often visited that 7/11 for a bag of Cheese Doodles).

I knew it was the Boston Tea Party, but I didn't know it was on the cover of White Light/White Heat.

 

Oh good. I’m not the only one.

 

Warner Bros.

The connection is that a few years later the company would build its film studios on the same street, i.e. Olive Avenue, Burbank, CA.

 

Warner Brothers albums from the 70s got this sleeve unless they used a custom sleeve. I used the one from "The Captain And Me" lp for my post.

 

The space where the photo was taken became the first offices of 'Private Eye' magazine.
