Not Amsterdam but more than likely Paris in the background. Both the front and back cover are autographed  and priced at 12 German Marks by the Doctor. Not bad value.
Thanks to Chris/Manhattan from BluesBluesBlues who visited Stefan Wirz's "Illustrated Doctor Ross Discography" the puzzle is solved ... photographed in Utrecht, the Netherlands by Jim Simpson. Why didn't I think of visiting Stefan's site?

@ BabyHugZ, to save me uploading please visit the blog "BluesBluesBlues" at https://yousayblues.blogspot.com/2018/10/dr-ross.html#more for more Doctor Ross. If you're missing anymore I might have some lying around.

It seems that it was photographed in Paris, France. Maybe at the "Canal Saint-Martin". There is a Citroen 2CV and a typical parisian réverbère (street lamp) in the background... Just my two cents :))
Best regards.

thank you .. !!

Xyros said...

You could be right Uncle Gil. Though the 2CV was very populair in the Netherlands in the 60's/70's. Can't remember what the street lights looked like in Amsterdam back then.

Recorded at Chalk Farm Studios, London, November 1972
Photography By – Alan Johnson
Don't know who's right about the photo location !! Maybe Paris indeed but not sure (The 2CV Citroën was sold all around Europa !)

Nice post anyway

We MUST solve this !!! :))

With nothing better to do on a rainy morning I dived into Google Maps and looked up Canal Saint-Martin. Uncle Gil is correct about the streetlights so I'll also go with it been Paris. Might spend some time and see if I can find the buildings at the back to confirm it.
