This Day In Music December 1, 1976. The first day of the photo shoot for the forthcoming Pink Floyd Animals album cover took place at Battersea Power Station in London, England with a giant inflatable pig lashed between two of the structures tall towers. A trained marksman was hired ready to fire if the pig balloon escaped, but was not needed on this, the first day. Unfortunately the following day the marksman hadnt been rebooked, so when the swine broke free from its moorings, it was able to float away, eventually landing in Kent where it was recovered by a local farmer, reportedly furious that it had frightened his cows.
