“What I love about vinyl is the artwork is the poor man’s art collection,” declares Noel Gallagher in the trailer before mentioning how Hipgnosis “represents the golden age of the music business”.
Squaring the Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis) opens in New York cinemas on June 7 with later plans for expansion.
