I found this: After becoming known for the unique album cover designs he created for bands such as Osibisa and Gun in the 1970's, Roger Dean was contracted to produce a cover for the YES album " Close to the Edge". Since then his work has become synonymous with the band, producing YES'S classic logo and several of their record covers. on this website: http://www.giggallery.com/page/past.html - http://www.giggallery.com/page/past.html and I think this is the cover that is referred to:
I just downloaded this album. The song 'Race With The Devil' is on it, which became a hit for Girlschool, the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal band. |

OOPS, I just read that Martyn Dean, Roger's brother (I didn't know he had one!  ) painted that cover!

Now THIS is what you're looking for, Tauhd Zaļa, I found this on the All Music Guide pages: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=UIDSUB040403070819241862&sql=R16908#APPEAR - http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=UIDSUB04040 3070819241862&sql=R16908#APPEAR It's a list of ALL the covers Roger Dean made and he's even credited as a musician with some bands. I didn't know he also was a musician! It's a very impressive list! |
