Storm Thorgerson’s image for the cover of Alan Parson's 1996 record ‘On Air’ is one of a series of twenty prints, each in an edition of twenty known as the 2020 Series. Storm describes for us how this image came about . . .

"Alan Parsons was inclined to select ideas around which to weave an album...In this case his On Air album was about the idea of flight or man’s desire to fly. It was, he said, as much about the idea of flight as about flying itself or about the machines that fly us. I took the notion of an idea, the tried and tested notion, namely that of a light bulb above a head and reworked it as a bulb shaped hot air balloon above a head shaped hillock."
