How it was in Brixton SW9. Black Joy.

Hair styling on chairs in the street. Brixton Market for fresh fish and Jamaican Patties. Church. Sunday school. Woolworth Saturday jobs. Meeting friends in Wimpy. Barber shops. Dad in The Atlantic or Victoria pub. The Front line/Railton Road. Lulu. Rave parties. No black cabs. The film Black Joy based on Brixton.

White Heat.


 Anyone who knows me knows I love album covers.

On this one the weather looks hot, the girls look hot and Barry White is HOT.

If it was real and not a set how did he survive in all that polyester. Bless him.

Breakfast in America by Supertramp.

 


New York is my favourite American city and I do love vinyl, so this Supertramp LP cover is simply wonderful. It won best album packaging in 1980.

I have to agree with whomever first noticed it, if you look at the cover in reserve above the Twin Towers the U and P would look like 9/11.
