YMMV / Hipgnosis

• Ho Yay: Peter Christopherson was openly gay; coincidentally or not, some of Hipgnosis' images feature barechested or naked men, such as Yes' Going for the One and Wishbone Ash's New England. Also, Foreigner's label and management rejected Hipgnosis' cover for their fourth album, a photo of a pair of binoculars floating over a sleeping teenage boy, because they thought it was "too homosexual".
• Retroactive Recognition:
  • Recognize the woman in the white face makeup on the back cover of String Driven Thing's 1972 Self-Titled Album? It's Helen Mirren.
  • The couple in their cover for UFO's album Force It is Genesis P-Orridge and Cosey Fanni Tutti, who were two of Christopherson's bandmates in Throbbing Gristle.
