One of my favourites has always been "For Girls Who Grow Plump In The Night" by Caravan. (Incidentally also one of my favourites album titles!). A beautiful,classic 70's cover. They really knew how to make them in those days! Another couple of favourites from the 70's: "Deceptive Bends" and "Bloody Tourists!" by 10cc.

As remarked about in the Robert Wyatt biography Wrong Moves by Mike King - yet another idea LZ lifted, this time from Soft Machine's first LP cover! Personally I think you have to go a long way to beat the original LP cover of Man's Be Good To Yourself At Least Once A Day. with its 24" square fold away cartoon map of Wales being barge-poled away from England |

Some of my favourites, not in any particular order, are: ELP - "Brain Salad Surgery" ELP - "Tarkus" GREENSLADE - "Greenslade" YES - "Tales From Topographic Oceans" YES - "Yessongs" YES - "Fragile" BUDGIE - "Squawk" BUDGIE - "In For The Kill" PINK FLOYD - "Dark Side Of The Moon" TRIUMVIRAT - "Illusions On A Double Dimple" TRIUMVIRAT - "Spartacus" VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR - "Still Life" LED ZEPPELIN - "IV" All have to be seen on LPs to be properly appreciated. CD-size covers just don't cut the mustard. |

1) Glastonbury Fayre - opens out into a giant poster, and comes with all manner of intriguing inserts, including a D-I-Y pyramid instruction kit. 2) Their Satanic Majesties' Request - the Rolling Stones - had a 3d image of the Stones on a psychedelic backround. When you opened out the gatefold, there was a maze and stuff inside. 3) Metal Box - P/I/L and From the Makers of... - Status Quo - round metal tins. 4) Ogden's Nut Gone Flake - Small Faces - Opens out into 6 roundels. 5) No Remorse - Motorhead - leather sleeve. The cassette came in a leather cigarette packet. 6) In Search of Space - Hawkwind - had a kind of zigzag opening with a closing tab. 7) Look at yourself - Uriah Heep and The Mirror - Spooky Tooth (both had mirrors) 8) Led Zeppelin III (the wheel) 9) Warrior at the Edge of Time - Hawkwind - opens out into a shield 10) Roger Waters - The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking (they don't all have to open out or have spinning things attached...) Also the Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers, which had a real zipper and a picture of some guy in his pants behind it (nice
