Ugliest covers of otherwise great albums

^^ There was a topic on it in Get the Word Out by the supplier or label or something, which is how I found ot about it. While I love some tribute albums (tributes to Tim Smith of Cardiacs, to Magma, to Robert Wyatt) what I have heard of this KC tribute does sound pretty terrible to me.

EDIT: As an album tribute, I'll stick with Singin' to God. I only mention, again, for those who like Sing to God.

See https://cleopatrarecords.bandcamp.com/album/reimagining-the-court-of-the-crimson-king As for comparing that IQ album cover with the ELP, just sharing that it is reminds me of it, not saying it should you or anything like that. I am terrible at chit-chat.

^ It was enough to make me associate it with that cover, anyway. But different people associate differently.

Much nicer. :)

Actually, I kind of like the From Beyond-ness of the In the Court "deformative" art (but looks badly digitally rendered to me).

^ A revolting riff on In the Court of the Crimson King.

^ It's reminiscent to me of ELP's cover for Brain Salad Surgery.
