Hi.

I found the original photo that Stylorouge used on Leisure's front cover with the female swimmer.

http://www.gettyimages.es/detail/foto/swimming-hats-fotograf%C3%ADa-de-stock/127999099

It seems to be taken in late 50s.

Holy hell! Now that I'm used to seeing it on Leisure, it looks photoshopped...

Beautiful photo. I wonder where she is now?

She may has nearly 80 years.

Ah yeah good point. She looks like she's early 20's in the photo so maybe she's still alive. It'd definitely be interesting to find out and discover if she knows she's on an album cover.

Imagine how creepy it would of been if they'd chosen the other lady.

I've seen that image before, very possibly it was posted here before, but oh well.

I always thought she was a clown.

i've always liked the album cover . i always thought the leaf was one of those lines at the bottom of the swimming pool

Agree on the leaf always looked like a line at the bottom of the pool.

For what it's worth, here's the Blur cover shot. Pretty much no manipulation that I can see other than upping the saturation a bit for the album cover maybe. Can't find PL or TGE, though they must have been stock shots.

P.S Hello everyone, new round these parts.

^Hi there

I've already seen this picture somewhere, but i don't remember where... I also thought the leaf was a line at the bottom of the pool. But I've never realised that the s/t cover is an image of a paramedic rushing a victim into emergency room, though now it seems obvious :lol:
