The real locations of 20 album covers, including pink floyd classics:, ac/dc – ‘dirty deeds done dirt cheap’ (1976).

The sleeve to the international version of AC/DC's 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap' was created by fabled English design group Hipgnosis. The building in the background was a motel on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles.

The motel on AC/DC's 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap' cover is now called Hotel H-Wood.

Thunder - 'All The Right Noises' (2021)

Thunder's 13th studio album 'All The Right Noises' from March 2021 features a visually striking outdoor sculpture called the Singing Ringing Tree set against a dramatic skyline.

Located on the Pennine hill range overlooking Burnley in Lancashire, the Singing Ringing Tree is a wind powered sound sculpture that stands 3 metres tall. Designed by architects Mike Tonkin and Anna Liu of Tonkin Liu, the unique sculpture features pipes of galvanised steel that create sounds when the wind hits them. Luke Morley stumbled upon the sculpture when Googling "bizarre musical instruments."

Black Sabbath – ‘Black Sabbath’ (1970)

The seminal and highly eerie cover for Black Sabbath's eponymous debut album 'Black Sabbath' in 1970 was shot at the 15th Century Mapledurham Watermill, located on the banks of the River Thames in Oxfordshire.

A photograph of Mapledurham Watermill, location of Black Sabbath's self-titled debut album 'Black Sabbath.'

Six years after the release of 'Black Sabbath', Mapledurham Watermill featured prominently in the 1976 World War II movie 'The Eagle Has Landed'. Here's actress Jenny Agutter during location filming on 14th June 1976.

The grade II listed building of Mapledurham Watermill has become a mecca for Black Sabbath aficionados around the globe – including children's TV presenter Mr Tumble, aka Justin Fletcher.

Pink Floyd – 'The Division Bell' (1991)

Pink Floyd's longtime album artwork collaborator, the late-great Storm Thorgerson, had two gargantuan metal heads the size of double decker buses made for 'The Division Bell' sleeve and he positioned them in a field near the cathedral city of Ely in Cambridgeshire, which you can see in the background. In 2017, the two heads appeared at the magnificent Pink Floyd exhibition Their Mortal Remains at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

After extensively searching through fields, Bob Egan of the website Pop Spots discovered the exact location of Pink Floyd's 'The Division Bell' sleeve.

U2 - ‘The Unforgettable Fire’ (1984)

U2 recorded their fourth studio album 'The Unforgettable Fire' at Slane Castle in County Meath, Ireland, however they opted for a different castle to adorn the sleeve – Moydrum Castle, east of Athlone in Ireland. Bono, The Edge, Adam and Larry liked the mysticism of the ivy-engulfed ruined castle and thought it suited the music perfectly. The photo was a copy of a picture on the cover of a 1980 book In Ruins: The Once Great Houses of Ireland by Simon Marsden and the band's representatives had to pay an undisclosed fee for the copyright infringement.

The ruined, and now even more overgrown, Moydrum Castle in Ireland in 2020.

Yes – ‘Going For The One’ (1977)

After the legendary Roger Dean designed the band's previous four album sleeves from 1971's 'Fragile' to 1974's 'Relayer', Yes enlisted Storm Thorgerson of Hipgnosis fame for 'Going For The One'. The sleeve retained Dean's Yes logo, and featured a naked man looking towards the Century Plaza Towers in Century City, California against a blue sky.

Designed by Minoru Yamasaki (who also designed the original World Trade Center) and completed in 1975, the visually striking and geometric Century Plaza Towers are 174 metres high and the tallest buildings in California outside of Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Neil Young – ‘After The Gold Rush’ (1970)

Neil Young's third studio album from over half a century ago features a photograph of the musician walking through Greenwich Village in New York. The photographer Joel Bernstein was just 18 years old when he took the photo, and he was said to be "shocked" that Neil Young picked it.

A composite of the 'After The Gold Rush' album cover against the railings. They're located on the northwest corner of Sullivan Street and West 3rd Street, Greenwich Village, New York.

Led Zeppelin – ‘Physical Graffiti’ (1975)

The cover to Led Zeppelin's sixth studio album 'Physical Grafitti' features two side-by-side tenement buildings located at 96 and 98 St. Mark's Place in New York's East Village.

As you can see from this Google street view image, artist Peter Corriston and designer Mike Doud were forced to crop out the top floor of the five-storey buildings so they would fit onto the square sleeve better.

The Rolling Stones' video for their 1981 single 'Waiting on a Friend' was filmed on the front steps of #96 St. Mark's Place in an apparent nod to Led Zeppelin. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards meet on the steps of #96 before walking to the corner of 1st Avenue to the meet with the rest of the band.

Rush – ‘Moving Pictures’ (1981)

Created by long-time Rush collaborator Hugh Syme, the artwork to Rush's 1981 magnum opus 'Moving Pictures' is a very literal translation of the album title. A triple entendre, it features workers moving pictures, then the paintings themselves depict emotional – or moving – scenes, and finally the back sleeve has a film crew making a motion picture of proceedings. The sleeve was photographed outside the Ontario Legislative Building at Queen's Park, Toronto.

Defined by its characteristic pink-hue sandstone – giving it the nickname The Pink Palace - the Ontario Legislative Building in Rush's native Canada was completed in 1893. It houses the viceregal suite of the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, and offices for members of the provincial parliament.

The Who – ‘The Kids Are Alright’ (1979)

The Who's 1979 soundtrack album to the film of the same name features a photograph of Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle and Keith Moon draped in a huge Union Jack flag outside a section of the Carl Schurz Monument at 116th Street and Morningside Drive in New York.

Bob Egan of the website Pop Spots has brilliantly superimposed the artwork onto the monument.

David Bowie - ‘The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars’ (1973)

The artwork to David Bowie's seminal masterpiece 'The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars' depicts of Bowie as Ziggy at 23 Heddon Street in London, outside the home of furriers "K. West". The photograph was taken by Brian Ward in monochrome and recoloured by Terry Pastor.

Here is a 1980s photograph of Heddon Street with the Ziggy Stardust album artwork superimposed on top.

On the 40th anniversary of 'The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars' in 2013 a plaque was unveiled at 23 Heddon Street. Pictured are Spiders from Mars band members Woody Woodmansey and the late Trevor Bolder at the plaque's unveiling.

Led Zeppelin – ‘Houses of the Holy’ (1973)

The otherworldly cover image that adorns Led Zeppelin's fifth studio album 'Houses of the Holy' is a collage of several photographs of two alien-like children (siblings Stefan and Samantha Gates) taken at the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland by Aubrey Powell of Hipgnosis fame.

The 40,000 interlocking and mostly hexagonal basalt columns that make up Giant's Causeway are the result of an ancient volcanic fissure eruption some 50 to 60 million years ago.

The image on the inner gatefold sleeve of Led Zeppelin's 'Houses of the Holy' was captured at the medieval Dunluce Castle near the Giant's Causeway and depicts a silver man holding up the young girl.

The now ruined Dunluce Castle in Northern Ireland, which was built over half a millennium ago in the Late Middle Ages. It's located on the edge of a basalt outcropping in County Antrim.

KISS - ‘Dressed to Kill’ (1975)

The artwork to KISS's third album depicts Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Peter Criss and Ace Frehley wearing dodgy suits and standing on the southwest corner of 23rd Street and 8th Avenue looking north in New York City. The photo was taken by esteemed photographer Bob Gruen.

Another Pop Spots image with the KISS 'Dressed to Kill' album cover superimposed over 23rd Street and 8th Avenue.

Pink Floyd - Animals (1977)

Pink Floyd's tenth studio album depicts a floating pig above the imposing Art Deco megastructure of Battersea Power Station in London. Storm Thorgerson designed the sleeve but the idea was the brainchild of Roger Waters who regularly passed the station on journeys into central London from his home.

Located on the south bank of the River Thames, in Nine Elms, Battersea, work on Battersea Power Station was completed in 1955 before it was decommissioned in 1983. The building was converted into flats in 2021 and 2022, and it's currently owned by a consortium of Malaysian investors.

The Clash – ‘The Clash’ (1977)

The Clash's eponymous debut album features artwork designed by Polish artist Rosław Szaybo and a cover photo shot by Kate Simon in an alleyway opposite Camden Market, London.

'The Clash' album cover superimposed on the real alleyway in Camden Town.

Eagles – ‘Hotel California’ (1976)

One of the best-selling records of all time, the Eagles' ubiquitous 1976 album 'Hotel California' is adorned with a photograph of The Beverley Hills Hotel in California. The timeless image was captured by photographer David Alexander while standing 60 feet above Sunset Boulevard on top of a cherry picker.

An aerial photograph of The Beverley Hills Hotel featuring the distinctive turrets and palm trees that appear on the 'Hotel California' cover. Work on the hotel was completed in 1912 and from the 30s to the 70s, the world-famous hotel became synonymous with Hollywood glamour.

Ramones – ‘Rocket To Russia’ (1977)

The photograph hat adorns the Ramones' third studio album was taken by the band's manager Danny Fields at 315 Bowery behind the legendary New York club CBGB.

In image of the exterior of CBGB prior to its closure in 2006 with 'Rocket To Russia' superimposed over it.

Pink Floyd - ‘Wish You Were Here’ (1975)

The photograph of the stuntmen Ronnie Rondell and Danny Rogers for Pink Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here' was taken by Aubrey "Po" Powell of Hipgnosis at The Burbank Studios (now the Warner Bros Studios) in California. Decades before the advent of CGI, one of the stuntmen had to be set on fire wearing a flame-retardant suit and Rondell drew the proverbial short straw.

Going out: Cinema

Challengers Out now Zendaya, Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist star in this sporting romance that sees off-court tensions played out through the medium of tennis, as a grand slam champion competes against his wife’s former lover. From Luca Guadagnino, director of Call Me By Your Name.

Kidnapped Out now Marco Bellocchio directs the true story of a six-year-old Jewish boy, kidnapped from his family in Bologna in 1858 by order of the pope, in order to be brought up Catholic. Naturally, his heartbroken family campaign for his return.

ISS Out now An International Space Station crew made up of Russian and American astronauts find themselves in a pickle when nuclear war breaks out between their respective countries while they’re in orbit. Much paranoia and double-crossing ensues for the crewmates, played by Ariana DeBose, Chris Messina and Masha Mashkova.

Cardiff animation festival Various venues, 27 & 28 April ; online to 12 May Wales’s biggest animation festival returns to Chapter Arts, with a rich selection of workshops, activities and films, including Robot Dreams, the moving story of a lonely dog who buys a robot companion, only to become separated accidentally. Catherine Bray

Going out: Gigs

Olivia Dean Manchester, 27 April ; touring to 5 May It has been a pretty hectic year for north London’s Olivia Dean. Last summer, Messy , her critically acclaimed debut album of richly layered neo-soul, hit the Top 5, and she’s also received three Brit nominations. This UK tour is essentially a lap of honour. Michael Cragg

Lil Yachty London, 29 April; Birmingham, 1 May ; Glasgow, 2 May ; touring to 4 May Having started out as a so-called SoundCloud rapper, last year mumbling lines over loose trap beats, Lil Yachty pivoted unexpectedly to psych rock with fifth album Let’s Start Here . It’s unclear on which lane he’ll focus here; expect the unexpected. MC

Cheltenham jazz festival Montpellier Gardens, Cheltenham, 1 to 6 May Embracing contemporary jazz, blues, soul, R&B and global music, this festival runs for six days and includes luminaries from pianist Brad Mehldau to Snarky Puppy and singer Gregory Porter. Acid jazz stars Brand New Heavies join the powerful London Concert Orchestra on the 3 May bill. John Fordham

Atlas Symphony Hall, Birmingham, 1 May Just over a month after its premiere, Anna Clyne’s first piano concerto reaches the UK, with Jeremy Denk, for whom it was composed, as the soloist and the CBSO conducted by Kazuki Yamada. Atlas is inspired by sketches and photos and photographs of the same name by Gerhard Richter, which, as Clyne says, “cut to the heart of the artist’s thinking”. Andrew Clements

Going out: Art

Expressionists Tate Modern, London, to 20 October Gabriele Münter and her boyfriend Wassily Kandinsky are at the heart of this trip to early 20th-century Bavaria. Inspired by the desperation of Munch and Van Gogh, they and fellow artists formed the Blue Rider group in Munich in 1911. Franz Marc, Marianne Werefkin and Robert Delaunay share the shuddering mood.

Michelangelo: The Last Decades British Museum, London,  2 May to 28 July The drawings of Michelangelo uniquely combine soft immediacy and precision in an art of phenomenal expressiveness. His later sketches in this show are some of his most moving of all, from the mythological scenes he drew for his beloved Tommaso de’ Cavalieri to tormented depictions of the dying and dead Christ.

Tony Cragg Castle Howard, near York, 3 May to 22 September Brideshead isn’t what it used to be. What would the Jeremy Irons character in the celebrated TV series think if he saw modern art all over its lawns? Nowadays every stately home shows contemporary art, even Castle Howard, famous location of Brideshead Revisited, which now swarms with Cragg ’s cosmic abstractions.

Henry Moore in Miniature Holburne Museum, Bath, 3 May to 8 September The most ambitious sculptor of the human body produced by 20th-century Britain still dominates many horizons in sculpture parks and public spaces around the world. Here, however, his roly poly, reclining or enthroned, perforated and faceless figures are revealed on a more intimate scale. Get close to their surrealism. Jonathan Jones

Going out: Stage

Silence Home , Manchester, 30 April to 4 May A collision of the personal and political, this new piece of documentary theatre was commissioned to mark 75 years since the partition of India. Adapted from Kavita Puri’s book , it weaves together individual tales to show how this brutal point in history shaped Britain. Kate Wyver

English Kings Killing Foreigners Camden People’s Theatre, London, to 11 May The stage becomes a battlefield in this silly and serious show, as Shakespeare’s Globe performers Nina Bowers and Philip Arditti consider what it means to cast a global majority actor in a Shakespeare play. Diving into their own experience of performing Henry V, they ask essential questions of what nationalism looks like now. KW

Punt & Dennis Slough, 27 April ; Milton Keynes, 29 April ; touring to 26 June After a quarter century as hosts of The Now Show – and, in Hugh Dennis’s case, 17 years as a Mock the Week panellist – it’s no stretch to say this duo are world experts in sending up the news. See what they’ve learned on their first tour in a decade. Rachel Aroesti

Gateshead international festival of theatre Various venues, 4 & 5 May At this boundary-blurring performance festival you can see Bertrand Lesca and Nasi Voutsas and a cast of over-60s; see work by Rwanda-born practitioner Patrick Ziza; or do a Beatmotion workshop with Akeim Toussaint Buck to make your own choreography (no experience necessary).

Staying in: Streaming

The Tattooist of Auschwitz Now & Sky Atlantic, 2 May, 9pm Jonah Hauer-King stars in this drama based on Heather Morris’s Holocaust novel , itself inspired by the testimony of survivor Lale Sokolov. Told through the lens of the latter’s interviews, it pits an intense love story against the abject horror of the camps.

A Man in Full Netflix, 2 May David E Kelley is known for fizzy, foreboding and starry dramas such as Big Little Lies. His latest, an adaptation of Tom Wolfe’s 1998 novel about an Atlantan real estate mogul facing bankruptcy, maintains the big names – Jeff Daniels, Diane Lane, Lucy Liu – for some knotty state-of-the-nation satire.

Miriam: Death of a Reality Star Channel 4, 29 April, 9pm Even in the wild west of early reality TV, There’s Something Abo ut Miriam – a dating format predicated on the “twist” that its titular model was transgender – felt uniquely queasy. This series looks at the legacy of its star, Miriam Rivera, from her pioneering celebrity to the exploitation she experienced before her passing in 2019.

Shardlake Disney+, 1 May In 2022, Arthur Hughes became the first disabled actor to star in an RSC production of Richard III. Now he jumps forward a few decades to depict Matthew Shardlake – a barrister and detective with spinal curvature in the employ of Thomas Cromwell (Sean Bean) – in this new series based on CJ Sansom’s historical novels.

Sea of Thieves PS5, out 30 April A jewel in the crown of Xbox’s game lineup makes its way to the PS5 this week: a humorous, grog-soaked multiplayer pirate adventure, best enjoyed with a crew.

Stellar Blade PS5, out now Aliens have taken over Earth, and as the incongruously scantily clad supersoldier Eve, we must slice them into bite-sized pieces. This frame-perfect sci-fi action is a treat for the eyes. Keza MacDonald

Staying in: Albums

Pet Shop Boys – Nonetheless Out now The Pets return with their 15th album and first with producer James Ford (Jessie Ware, Blur). Recent single Dancing Star recalls their Please era, complete with Neil Tennant’s spoken-word verses, while Loneliness makes good on their aim to tap into the “unique and diverse emotions that make us human”.

Sega Bodega – Dennis Out now Having worked with Björk and FKA twigs, Irish-Chilean producer and artist Salvador Navarrete knows all about spectacular soundscapes. On this third album he augments his multi-layered electronic suites with guest spots from author and film-maker Miranda July and Sophie collaborator Cecile Believe.

Justice – Hyperdrama Out now Now Daft Punk are no more, Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, AKA Justice, can claim their crown as France’s best dance duo. This fourth album, their first for eight years, continues their love for pummelling beats, blown-out synth riffs, and more than a dash of cinematic drama.

St Vincent – All Born Screaming Out now Shaking off her last album’s lounge-pop affectations, Annie Clark here can be found digging in the dirt. Featuring furious drumming from Dave Grohl, singles Broken Man and Flea strip everything down to the bone, the latter equating obsessive love with a parasite holding on for dear life.
