Squaring the Circle - The Story of Hipgnosis

I recently watched this documentary, whilst on the plane back to the UK from Singapore. I highly recommend it.

It tells the story of the famous company behind some of the most iconic album covers of the 20th Century, including album covers from Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, 10CC, Wishbone Ash and Peter Gabriel.

I suspect some of these images will be highly recognisable to many of you:

The documentary is a fascinating insight into the formation of the company and the personalities involved, and a lot of the culture of the time. It includes stories and interviews with some of their clients including Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, Paul McCartney, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and Noel Gallagher.

Not just recognisable. I have all these apart from the Zeppelin album.
