Debunking a Picture

Hello everyone!

Sorry if this is a weird post, first time really making a thread on a forum in a long while, but I'll get right to the chase.

I've been looking through some old BOC photos today because a friend of mine talked about a old Warp France leak and I was interested in looking more into it. Well I don't have anything like that, what I did discover recently was that of a BOC photo presumed to be of their studio. It was originally posted on their MySpace (I'd say circa 08-09?) and then posted again on Facebook on November 27, 2009.

Now the image in question:

So, I was at first a bit skeptical about it being a picture of the studio. I've seen another person here refer it as their studio and a thread on Reddit.
So from a little digging (some reverse image searching etc) I found the original image.

It's not from BOC themselves but from a radio station's website.

Here is the original image.
Image

Well It seems like BOC just flipped it and put a filter over it, which honestly I don't mind one bit. But I'm happy to find where this original image came from. Lot's of photos on their MySpace are probably from similar types of spaces and it would be awesome to hunt down some of the original photos.

I apologize if this was something already discussed or brought up before but I felt like I needed to share it.

Nice find. Ive always been skeptical of that photo mainly due to the old telephone and clock, Always seemed out of place.

Most of the pictures Warp posted on their myspace were old random pictures. The photos on the TCH album art are mostly taken from other sources which personally was a bit of a let down considering most of their other work has original art

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't 95% of BoC's artwork 'borrowed' from other sources?

Ive always assumed everything pre-Headphase is original, Either by them or P.I.C but thinking about it, Thats not true..

Twoism is a movie still but MHTRTC is confirmed as a Sandison family photo, Hi-Scores rear photo as per A Few Old Tunes cover is P.I.C, OTv2 is P.I.C i think. ABPOITC seems to be a mix of photos maybe P.I.C and obviously stills from tv but almost certain Geogaddi artwork is original.. So yeah 50/50 probably
