BEHIND THE GROOVES: a music blog by Jeff Harris
On this day in music history: January 24, 1980 - A large billboard to promote Pink Floyd’s album “The Wall” is erected above the parking lot of the Tower Records store on Sunset Blvd. in West Hollywood, CA. The billboard will have giant brick wall pasted up in front of it, with a brick being removed each day, slowly revealing a massive blow up of artist Gerald Scarfe’s artwork from the inner album cover gatefold underneath. The artwork will be fully unveiled by the end of the band’s Los Angeles tour dates in February.
