God damn I love the internet, especially when you stumble across websites where it’s obvious the people that curate them obviously have a lot of spare time on their hands to well and truly ‘get their nerd on’ and deliver something super cool.
Pop Spots NYC is definitely one of these kind of sites and is my current online obsession. This site is put together by Bob Egan, who by day is a commercial real estate agent but on nights and weekends he dedicates most of his spare time to searching out the locations where iconic record covers were shot and documents the whole process as if he’s some kind of pop culture detective.
The focus is mainly on Bob’s hometown of New York City but in a recent post he solved some UK album location mysteries too.
Check out some of his handy work in the pics below and be sure to head over to the website for the full story behind each album cover he locates. Amazing stuff.
And if you can get past the annoying presenter, the below vid sums it up pretty well.
