How about we all just calm down! I’m just trying to get from A to B.

Film poster of Goldfinger. The first James Bond film. A lady painted gold with Sean Connery and Honor Blackman sort of projected onto her. Not sure what you’d call this effect.

This won’t make a lot of sense as it is a screen shot that cuts off some of the detail. The important bit is the end showing the other repugnant people who signed up to this awful bill.

The Jimi Hendrix experience album Axis: Bold as Love. Cover is a colourful picture of the band surrounded by Indian imagery. Including what I guess (due to my ignorance) are gods, human and animal in origin. All wearing golden bejewelled crowns, some breathing fire. The band appear to have multiple arms holding a variety of items from weapons to musical instruments. Above all this are 7 vipers heads and above that, and orange sun with pink and orange rays emitting in all directions.

Big war movie themes, by Geoff Love and his orchestra, art from said war movies. Two Christmas carol albums from rival cathedrals. Guildford and Winchester.

Exile on Main St by the Rolling Stones, spins on the turntable. The album cover sits behind, a selection of black and white photos of odd things. A chap with what looks like 3 eggs in his mouth, stands out as the oddest. Atop the vinyl is a tiny hand spinning with the record, its index finger pointing skyward, potentially signifying its place as my favourite Stones album.
