just realized I don't think I have any actual records with art made by him. The Pink Floyds and Led Zeppelins and whatnot I had on cd and sold them off recently. Anyone have any records with his trippy covers, beyond his more famous ones?
also, here's a Dust & Grooves interview with a guy who has been doing a doc on him:

and am I the only one who thought he had died 10-15 years ago??

NEVER SAY DIE by Black Sabbath. I was totally obsessed with this record cover when I was a teenager. The pilots look like two colorful bugs or some H.R. Giger-like creatures. It was only buying the record again a year ago that I noticed there are actually pencil drawings hidden in the sky ??? World War II pilots and a UFO. I told Storm I had never seen this before and he smiled ??? after 35 years I got it??????Never Say Die??????Flight 19???the Bermuda Triangle???
i had no idea this documentary was in the works until yesterday but i'm very excited about it now. I LOVE those album covers
I have a lot of respect for the people who actually did work like that, as opposed to the excessive photoshopping that goes on today. I'd love to learn more about how he made a lot of those, but usually that doesn't make for a very compelling film. Hopefully there's some cool stories in there though...
b/w
is an LP with a Storm Thorgerson cover considered crust just by default?
Awful UFO cover of girl being molested in shower - Force It iirc.
Wings - Venus and Mars.
Shit 10cc sleeves.
That Cortinas 45 with dude puking.
But the inflatable pig over Battersea power station was a genius moment, it has to be said.
I didn't realize this documentary was already out. Where have you guys seen it? I couldn't find any info on a dvd or it playing anywhere
I don't think it's officially out. I happened to catch it at the noise pop festival in sf. There might be some info about a proper release date on roddys website.
awww crud. i live in SF and completely missed this.

yeah, I started this thread as an informal RIP thread, since RIP'ing had been RIP'ed on the strut.
