Enemy Within Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Regardless of the photo, the recording of Cygnus X-1 must have caused quite a disturbance in the quiet English countryside. Frightened wild animals, killed fish in the nearby lake, etc. Not as much of a disturbance as The Sex Pistols caused with God Save The Queen that year... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil1972 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I got a reply:Hi Tony, I didn't do that one as I was working with Aerosmith and unable to go to England at the time. I recommended Roger Stowell who shot the band at Clearwell Castle in Wiltshire where they rehearsed before going to Wales to Record. I came over at the mixing and shot the PR picture used for the promotion.Regards, finSo Clearwell Castle.Would this be the same location seen in the opening to the A Farewell to Kings video? It would make sense. Haven't watched the video in awhile so not sure if it is or not.The opening sequence for the AFTK video was shot at Bodiam Castle in East Sussex.https://en.wikipedia...i/Bodiam_Castlehttp://www.roffsmithphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Bodiam-Castle-1.jpg The summer of 77 must have been such a trip for them... Ah ok cool thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
