Whatever happened to those locations where our favourite record sleeves were shot? Do you wonder what Abbey Road looks like today? What about that street Bob Dylan and his then-girlfriend Suze Rotolo strolled down on a chilly day in 1963? Well, this genius and yet so simple concept of viewing these iconic geographic landmarks has come together to answer those questions.
By use of the ultimate digital camera ‘Google Street View’, the team at The Guardian have scoured the globe and found the exact location where 12 of music’s most classic album art covers were photographed. The team have taken a ‘screenshot’ of the famous landmark and then inserted the original album cover art into the image, displaying the iconic album art in today’s surroundings.
Join us as we bring back to life 12 of music’s most recognisable record covers in a modern-day landscape.
