Live Album Covers

This is most certainly "Here we again time".

Man: Be Good To Yourself Twice A Day - best ever fold out LP cover and a delight to my Welsh neighbours

Heaven: Heaven (anglo-welsh brass rockers of the early 70's) album cover folds out to a 5 foot high picture of a totem pole. (An Isaac Hayes album cover folded out into a 4 foot high cross)

The first edition of the first Led Zeppelin LP cover's had its printed words in turquoise rather than the familiar orange -  included here more for its rarity value.

Saturnalia's transparent LP sleeve revealed the first full 3d effects LP disc.  (Curved Air had done it before but only with the album label). Rolling Stones Satanic Majesties had a 3d effects picture glued onto its sleeve

Pink Fairies' Never Never Land in a transparent printed PVC sleeve

Small Faces' Ogden Nut Gone Flake LP sleeve was round. The limited CD version was in a tin box (predating John Lyden album - Box? - in the same type of container).

Edgar Broughton Band LP (3 or 4th album) did some trickery depending on which way you folded the sleeve.

Jefferson Airplane's Bark came in brown paper supermarket bag

First Soft Machine album having 'cogs' which turned - an idea stolen (not unusually)  for the later 3rd? Led Zeppelin album.

Prog  -  YESSHOWS

Non Prog  -  ON YOUR FEET OR ON YOUR KNEES, Blue Oyster Cult

Space Dimentia wrote: Erm for me its Tarkus, Brain salad surgery, 6 wives of Henry VIII, King Arthur, Journey to and return to the centre of the earth, no earthly connection, all of Dream Theater's albums, all of Coheed and Cambria's albums, free: live,Led Zep I II III, the song remains the same, War of the worlds, Master of Puppets, Tubular bells, all of Pink Floyds especially Dark Side of the Moon beacuse its simple and a clasic

Most of which are not live albums!!!

Yessongs is Hors Concours... and was that an ever -expensive artwork to produce.

But live albums should have concert photos IMHO and in that category

Seconds Out wins hands down

Snow Dog, your insights into prog are limitless.

@Chopper, I meant thr front covrt, the bit you can see, not the packaging which is a differnt matter.

And the Gazza ladra cover sucks

and whover mentioned "DVD" by |Zep...it doesnt count!
