Clarke's novel Childhood's End. The cover is a collage of several photographs which were taken at the Giant's Causeway, Northern Ireland, by Aubrey Powell of Hipgnosis. This location was chosen ahead of an alternative one in Peru which was being considered. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe two children who modelled for the cover were siblings Stefan and Samantha Gates. The photoshoot was a frustrating affair over the course of ten days. Shooting was done first thing in the morning and at sunset in order to capture the light at dawn and dusk, but the desired effect was never achieved due to constant rain and clouds. The photos of the two children were taken in black and white and were multi-printed to create the effect of 11 individuals that can be seen on the album cover. The results of the shoot were less than satisfactory, but some accidental tinting effects in post-production created an unexpectedly striking album cover. The inner sleeve photograph was taken at Dunluce Castle near to the Causeway. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLike Led Zeppelin's fourth album, neither the band's name nor the album title was printed on the sleeve. However, manager Peter Grant did allow Atlantic Records to add a wrap-around paper title band to US and UK copies of the sleeve that had to be broken or slid off to access the record. This hid the children's buttocks from general display, but still the album was either banned or unavailable in some parts of the Southern United States for several years. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn 1974, the album was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of best album package. The cover was rated 6 on VH1's 50 Greatest Album Covers in 2003. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePage has stated that the album cover was the second version submitted by Hipgnosis. The first, by artist Storm Thorgerson, featured an electric green tennis court with a tennis racquet on it. Furious that Thorgerson was implying their music sounded like a \"racket\", the band fired him and hired Powell in his place. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe album art was referenced towards the end of the movie Bill \u0026amp; Ted's Excellent Adventure as the title characters used the album as a reference for the types of places they had visited during their travels in the story: \"We visited many places that looked like the cover of the album \"Houses of the Holy\". \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shuga Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":27410463111,"sku":"B17-048","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1377\/6983\/products\/f30d6ec4e5045db633115fa67a7fe2683afded3e.jpg?v=1471024608","url":"https:\/\/www.shugarecords.com\/products\/b17-48","provider":"Shuga Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
