CONCRETE SOUNDS — CORSICA NIGHTS
12-inch photographic record sleeve | £9.99
Part of my Concrete Sounds collection, bringing together two of my greatest passions: London's brutalist architecture and the underground music that emerged from its council estates.
Each sleeve features original photography on both sides and is designed to house a standard 12-inch vinyl record. Equally at home in a record collection or displayed as artwork.
A SIDE — Corsica Nights
B SIDE — Heygate Nights
The name for this design is inspired by the years I spent raving down at Corsica Studios in Elephant & Castle.
The Heygate Estate was also my first major photographic crush around the turn of the millennium, when I was living and studying in Elephant & Castle. The scale of the place blew my mind. There was nothing quite like it in North London, and once I picked up a camera, I didn't stop photographing the estate until it was all gone.
The A-side features Claydon Block, overlooking Corsica Studios and the railway station. The B-side features Ashenden Block, which ran alongside New Kent Road.
RIP the Heygate Estate.
Please note: This is a photographic record sleeve only. No vinyl record is included.
