A Lark Ascending Posted March 28, 2010 Report Posted March 28, 2010 (edited) I was much taken by this album cover posted by Brownie on another thread: Thought cows deserved their own thread (I know there's an animal one but come on, we're specialists!).

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 28, 2010 Report Posted March 28, 2010 I'm damn sure there was an album in the seventies called "Concrete cows" with a picture of the Milton Keynes cows on the cover. It was by some British avant garde jazz band, but I forget whom. It's not in AMG. Can someone who knows the LP find it? It's a nice one. MG Quote

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 28, 2010 Report Posted March 28, 2010 Ah, here we are! Not very avant MG Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted March 28, 2010 Author Report Posted March 28, 2010 Ah, here we are! Not very avant MG You had me trying to recall that one! The Dankworth's home/concert hall is just outside Milton Keynes. I imagine the budget ran out and they had to take a quick snap of the nearest landmark for the cover. My parents used to live at Newport Pagnell, another fringe settlement to MK. Has to be one of the dullest places I've ever spent time in (though they did have riots in the town centre one Xmas!).

I passed them once, on the train from London to Scotland - or maybe Wrexham. That was when they were in the field, as shown in the album sleeve, rather than the present shopping centre. I thought they looked terrific. Why are all economists called Milton? MG Quote
