Pink Floyd

2nd June 1972, Pink Floyd released their seventh studio album Obscured By Clouds in the UK. The album, based on their soundtrack for the French film La Vallée by Barbet Schroeder, was recorded in a studio North-West of Paris, France, in less than two weeks. The album's cover was, like several other Pink Floyd albums, designed by Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey Powell of Hipgnosis. It consists of a photograph of a man sitting in a tree which has been taken out of focus to the point of complete distortion.
