The original of the above, predating LZ3 be a number of years, also had a rotating wheel
 
The original of the above (here, a version sadly mucked about with too much) found in the gatefold LP sleeve of Be Good To Yourself was special.

I just find it funny that two different immediately identifiable Storm Thorgerson covers are considered some of his werdrer ones. I think it's obviously Storm, and neither one is particularly strange if you consider his oeuvre.

most early Amon Düül 2 covers are pretty weird. my favorite one is of the British Amon Düül though, for the album "Hawk Meets Penguin". why do a hawk and a penguin meet on a nocturnal cemetery. and why are there mines with burning fuses below the penguin and where the hawk is about to land? very strange indeed

LOL!

Is it true that ELP had to take legal action against a company that used that image in an Ad for some Gay Sex Chat Line?

well here is my weird thoughts:
KRAFTWERK "The Man-Machine (Die Mensch-Maschine)- dont know why, they look like 4 durks, but still...


MUSEO ROSENBACH "Zarathustra"- ???

ROBERT WYATT "Ruth is Stranger Than Richard"- cute little humen-animels...

Dun-"Eros"

and more and more...

Osanna - Palepoli.
 
I didn't buy it at first because the cover and the inside of the booklet confused the hell out of me.

I wonder why so many think that this is an imitation Giger, when it's in fact the Real Thing.

It's even listed on Giger's site.

I wonder what that structure in the background is supposed to be?

Makes me think of a Launch Pad or a cockpit of a Bomber

^I have a copy of Weasels Ripped My Flesh on vinyl, and it's really weird indeed, even outright scary if you ask me! Something about the guy's facial expression and the sheer size and colour of his face, and the fact that he's saying "RZZZZZ!"...
