Are they going to come charging out of the building and say "You can't inflate that pig, because you're planning on using it to symbolise our business as evil capitalism!"

And which posts on this forum aren't, in the long run, meaningless?

Mine.

The cd booklet has pictures that are not in the dark and not superimposed. Anyway....

Ooh, I hadn't even thought of that!

And, like I said, I don't _think_ they got permission, but I have nothing to base that on other than a bit of educated guessing.

Where did they shoot from? Where did they tie it down? It looks like they are on Battersea property.

a quote from an article published in 1992 in Q magazine:
"My one pathetic victory was that they had to put testicles on the pig (ie
the blow-up pig he designed for the cover of the Animals LP, the pig that broke
loose from its moorings at Battersea power station and ran amok through the
Home Counties' skies). If the pig had been exactly the same as the pig that I
designed, I could have stopped them using it in their shows. So they put balls
on my pig. **** them.

How large is the Battersea property?

sarah goode · #36 07-03-2002, 02:14 AM

It's large. The pig was recovered after it broke free and they photographed again. It looks like it is tied to the Battersea station.

In which picture? The only one where I can see the ropes is the first (the b&w), and the top of the power station is out of the frame.

sarah goode · #38 07-03-2002, 02:25 AM

Oh. It's not in the cd booklet. It was pictures I saw on the internet that showed the photographers and different angles. I remembered it as being in the booklet. You can see the ropes but not exactly where they go.

GeraldTheMouse · #39 07-03-2002, 02:30 AM

Ah. Any idea where the site is?

thorin13 · #40 07-03-2002, 02:39 AM

yeah i have an idea.

GeraldTheMouse · #41 07-03-2002, 02:41 AM

Curses! Foiled again.

thorin13 · #42 07-03-2002, 02:45 AM

ha ha ha. that was an evil laugh in case you weren't worrying about that.

sarah goode · #43 07-03-2002, 02:47 AM

Search Pink Floyd Animals and you will find the pictures. Thorin, I don't know what you meant.

GeraldTheMouse · #44 07-03-2002, 02:50 AM

Curse you and your evil laugh!

thorin13 · #45 07-03-2002, 02:51 AM

gerald: hey watch where you throw those curses.

sarah: i was responding (in a silly fashion) to what gerald said about the site.
