The Pig in Space

"These days if you wanted to put a flying animal on your album cover, you'd just do it all on photoshop and nobody would blink an eye. Indeed, even in 1977, Hipgnosis favoured "stripping in" the pig over a photo of the Power Station. The band, however, who never knowingly shied away from excess, insisted the pig had to fly for real. So Hipgnosis built a forty-foot pig shaped Zeppelin at great expense and launched it over BAttersea..."

So yesterday I witnessed the famous pig across the sky as Pink Floyd decided to reissue their albums... That is why the pig was flying over one of the most famous buildings of London :))
