Paul Cole (American tourist) : I was on a holiday in London with my wife and I said to her, 'I've seen enough museums. You just go ahead, take your time, and I'll see you later.
I noticed this police car and went over to talk with the officer about the area and then these four guys walked across the street like a line of ducks. I thought they were a bunch of kooks the way they were dressed. They had long hair and one of them was even barefoot. And I had no idea anybody was taking their picture.
When I saw it (the album cover) I recognized myself right away. I had on a new sports jacket and I'd just bought new glasses. I said to my children, 'Get a magnifying glass out and you'll see me in this picture.' This was just an instance of being in the right place at the right time.
