(What's the Story) Morning Glory? is the second studio album by English Rock band Oasis, released in October 1995. The record propelled the band from an Indie act to a worldwide Britpop phenomenon. Reportedly, one of the most significant records in the timeline of British Indie music.
The famous cover of (What's The Story) Morning Glory? is a picture of two men passing each other on Berwick Street in London, Soho. The two men are DJ Sean Rowley and album sleeve designer Brian Cannon (back to the camera). The producer of the album, Owen Morris, can also be seen in the background, on the left footpath, as he is holding the album's master tape in front of his face. The location was chosen because the street was and still is a popular location for record stores.
Step onto the street and try to take a picture from the same scenery as seen on the cover.
