Gosh how I loved this cover-art - great colours (blue/green/red) but whilst I enjoy their albums around it, I could not get into this one. I got rid of it in the 90's. Just the opening track resonated with me on any level. Love the debut and Happy Children especially, Heads and Osibirock not as much - and W(yaya just gave me the sh*ts..........go figure

^ Looks fantastic opened up like that. But of course, the shading of the LP printing is lighter overall (it is on my version, Vertigo swirl copy) I recall seeing Topographic (Yes) vinyl versions with *really* dark tones. Can't recall which pressing though.

Nice design on all of them. The Green Slade one has a spectacular use of color, so I voted for that one

Paladin's cover reminds me of the sleeve art for a good sci-fi novel. The easiest for me to access conceptually among the lot. Never heard the album though. Any good?
I'm also curious. Is it a good album?
Decent hard rock with a proggy edge....

I'll give my vote to Octopus. I always felt it was the perfect cover because of the octopus' smug and elitist expression; it's probably how most non-prog fans see Gentle Giant fans.

Just be patient! There are still plenty of polls in the weeks to come, so stay tuned. And like someone_else said, that cover doesn't fit in any of the themes I've posted so far.

Yep - GREENSLADE. I used to have the Paladin LP (on the 'Bronze' imprint) - had too few moments I liked so I ditched it. I think Pete Solley was the keyboardist.
