bertrand Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 What is that bizarre piece of architecture in the backdrop on the cover of Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Bertrand. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 (edited) The least you could do was post an image of the cover -- sheesh... Edited to post a bigger one from Dusty Edited January 6, 2006 by Rooster_Ties Quote
Larry Kart Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 Looks like a mostly demolished concrete building to me. Quote
bertrand Posted January 6, 2006 Author Report Posted January 6, 2006 I think someone once Id'ed it as a well-known LA landmark, but I did a search and couldn't find it. Perhaps on the 'other' board? Bertrand. Quote
brownie Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 Bertrand, William Claxton who took the image on the album cover has another photo of Land and Mitchell at the scene in his recently published opus 'Jazz Life' (page 346). He says it was taken at a site undergoing destruction in Los Angeles. No other detail! Quote
ejp626 Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 I think it's the Harold in the Land of Jazz that has the landmark cover. Course I have no idea what it is. Quote
Chas Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 I think it's the Harold in the Land of Jazz that has the landmark cover. Course I have no idea what it is. What it is : The famous Watts Towers in Los Angeles . The Hear Ye , Hear Ye cover shot is something else . Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 Speaking of the Watts Towers........ http://www.sphericalpanoramas.com/rodia.html Scroll right, left, up or down (with your mouse), and zoom in or out (with the + and - sign buttons in the lower left, or the ctrl and shift keys on the left also zoom in and out). COOL!! Quote

COOL!! Amazing! But where's Harold? Quote
Ron S Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 No, he's not there! I looked all around that panoramic view! Quote
JSngry Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 The land of jazz likes to play tricks. Quote
sheldonm Posted January 8, 2006 Report Posted January 8, 2006 Bertrand, William Claxton who took the image on the album cover has another photo of Land and Mitchell at the scene in his recently published opus 'Jazz Life' (page 346). He says it was taken at a site undergoing destruction in Los Angeles. No other detail! I think Claxton also mentioned that a couple kids walked by and asked what they were doing; he told them he was shooting a record cover. m! Quote
Kalo Posted January 9, 2006 Report Posted January 9, 2006 Speaking of the Watts Towers........ http://www.sphericalpanoramas.com/rodia.html Scroll right, left, up or down (with your mouse), and zoom in or out (with the + and - sign buttons in the lower left, or the ctrl and shift keys on the left also zoom in and out). COOL!! Cool! I believe that Mingus wrote about Simon Rodia and his towers in Beneath the Underdog. But I can't find it, since the damn book has no index... Quote
