Berwick st, Soho UK

I've been extremely slack in updating the blog for a while - so I thought I'd return with probably the most embarassing entry thus far - a re-creation by my brother Andy and I of the Oasis (What's The Story) Morning Glory? album cover.
The photo itself is taken in Berwick street Soho - just outside the old Select-A-Disc (now Sister Ray) record store. This is just one of about half a dozen record stores in Berwick street (mostly secondhand or discount) so I make a regular trip down there most Sunday afternoons. It was only after I'd been going there for a few months that someone pointed out to me it was used for the Oasis cover.

All credit for this one should really go to Kim who took the picture - after a quick check of a thumbnail in Sister Ray, she nailed the framing almost perfectly. Nice work. I imagine most people will want to compare with the original so I've included that for reference.
