I don't mind. It's kind of on topic but is there anything else to say?

Not that I'm against your perception, but I read it on the official Pink Floyd facebook page recently. However, I would rather like if it was sunlight, but yeah, it's a man.

It was released on EMI/Columbia when Floyd were signed to EMI/Harvest and consists of Syd Barrett era stuff - I don't think Floyd had any control over Syd era material at that time.
The really horrible bit (aside from the dayglo t-shirts and sub-Warhole colourisation) is the awful superimposing of Syd's face on David's body:

Hey matey, cow's butts are what the Welsh economy is run on
Seriously, I regard that cover as absolutely iconic. Don't ask me why, though.

Pink Floyd are just about undefeatable on the album covers front. So many great covers.
Favourite: Atom Heart Mother
Least: The Division Bell
And that Masters of Rock one is cringeworthy.
