Then we waited until the sun had set and when we looked at the creation glowing red in the distance we thought, вЂњThat looks fucking great.We know how hard it is to buy a piece of art without actually seeing it in the flesh. We laid them across the sand dunes till they stretched all the way to Cairo. So, weвЂ™d said we were going to the desert with a bunch of footballs. They liked it, and that meant was could do it. But Po had taken the trouble to draw it out on a napkin and the band liked it. The record company just looked at me like I was bonkers. Going to the Sahara desert with hundreds of bright red footballs was totally preposterous. Listening to the music conjured an image of sand dunes with a winding trail of red orbs. But the image for Elegy came directly through the music. Normally when youвЂ™re designing thereвЂ™s a long creative process and you have an idea of where you are going with it. This was before the days of Photoshop.ДЄnother key cover for me was вЂElegyвЂ™ by The Nice (above left). What we did differently was the picture on the wall. And she said what about doing a picture within a picture, which was quite common. I was trying to tell her what it was about and getting tangled up with all the different levels I wanted to express. After all, why is anyoneвЂ™s idea better than anyone elseвЂ™s? In fact the idea for Ummagumma came from my former girlfriend. (See above right) This was the time when I realised I could really do it. The second Floyd album we did was вЂUmmagummaвЂ™ in 1969.

Through being a bit pushy and full of ourselves. Po (Aubrey Powell, of Hipgnosis) and I did the cover for Pink FloydвЂ™s first album with Gilmour, вЂA Saucerful of Secrets,вЂ™ not having a fucking clue what we were doing. And he, in turn encouraged them to use me. TheyвЂ™d recently asked me whether David Gilmour, (who joined the line-up as SydвЂ™s replacement), who I also knew, was stable and I told them that he was. So anyway, I was eaves dropping nosily at the door when they were talking about the album cover and I arrogantly said вЂњWhy donвЂ™t I do it?вЂќ This was during a difficult time for the band as Syd was going bonkers.

We began socialising once weвЂ™d all moved to London. I knew the band because IвЂ™d been at school with Syd Barrett and Roger Waters in Cambridge. In 1968 the Floyd were about to ask an artist friend of mine to do their album cover. I started doing what I do through luck and being pushy. Even though I canвЂ™t sing a note or play a guitar. Was it Shakespeare that said music is the food of love? This is a firm belief of mine. ItвЂ™s the most precious commodity you could buy, and it costs just a few quid. The reason it is very special is that the item that youвЂ™re buying or downloading is something that might change your life. Music is a very special вЂњcommodityвЂќ, as you put it.
