Tonight’s mystery artist were offered the inverted swimmer that became a classic album cover for Def Leppard’s High ‘n’ Dry but said no thank you. The band rejected it for option #2.  Think you know who they are or what they opted for instead??

The cover they opted for was a cow named Lullabelle III which also became a classic cover for Pink Floyd.  As NME tells the story, Hipgnosis, the team behind most of Pink Floyd’s album covers, actually presented the band with the inverted swimmer that would eventually become the cover of Def Leppard’s iconic ‘High ‘n’ Dry’ album, for ‘Atom Heart Mother’. The band rejected it and opted for the cow instead.
