    The story goes that when Hipgnosis did the pot shoot all band members jumped in one at a time to acquire the right picture. One of them didn’t tell anyone that he couldn’t swim but jumped anyway. I’m taking it that this is him (Hipgnosis: Walk Away Rene, page 51m 1978)

    I wonder if Nirvana was influenced by this for “Nevermind”? Probably not, but the feel of the underwater photograph reminded me of it.
