With the record cover detective through New York

House numbers on rubbish bins, half-hidden building outlines, unusual patterns and structures – all sorts of things can provide a clue when New Yorker Bob Egan goes in search of the locations of famous record covers and photos of musicians in his city. The list of musicians Egan has successfully tracked down ranges from Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young to the Ramones, New York Dolls and Sonic Youth to Bo Diddley and the original “West Side Story” album.
