sonic youth

It just occurred to me that this album's title is probably in homage to Nick Drake's "Five Leaves Left". Or maybe they just got a roadie to upload a case of Rizla onto their tour bus.

SONIC YOUTH: SUNDAY from "A Thousand Leaves Left" CD (Polydor) 1998 (US)

BUY IT

Just a FYI.
the image you have posted for the Sonic Youth album cover isn't correct. I am about 2 years late in commenting on this I see. But bizarrely this is my photograph! Where did you find it?

Hi, Lesley.

You are absolutely correct. I stumbled on your photograph at the time of this post, and thought it encapsulated the essence of "A Thousand Leaves Left" perfectly. More so than the cover image. I included a link - as it was then - to your public page, and accredited you as photographer....

I hope this does not in any way offend you. As an artist myself, I publish my own work here under a Creative Commons Attribution License. The site itself is not financially driven.

If you have any objection to the inclusion of your photograph please let me know, and I will, of course, respect your wishes.

No, no objection at all! I was just very surprised to see it and simply thought you had mistaken it some how as the album cover.

Some really lovely photos on your website! I will be continuing to visit!

Lesley
