Another Brick in the Wall Part Two

Originally published 19 November 2010

The question I set the readers when this first came out was ‘how many other well known LP covers can you see in this strip’? There are a few red herrings, but there are definitely four recognisable ones, and two obscured ones. Answers below. Wipe over the following space to reveal them

Frame 1: Beatles, Sgt Pepper (under Smith’s rear paws)
Paul Simon: Graceland (under Sgt Pepper)
Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon (under Smith’s front paws)
Frame 2: Beatles: With the Beatles (UK edition) (in front of Smith)
Pet Shop Boys: Introspective (under With the Beatles)
Mike Oldfield: Tubular Bells (under Smith’s tail)


Incidentally, I think The Wall is the most overrated album ever recorded. I think I can only take one side of Roger Walter’s whinefest at a time, and there are four ruddy sides of his passive aggressive self pity to wade through. If you’ve never heard it, don’t bother. Like most of the works of Frank Zappa, the idea of it is much better than the reality.
