3fates we defenetily have not the same taste for record covers.Starless and bible black is one of my favourite. I love Tom Phillips. One of the artists who integrated in a very nice way music, paintings and words.Check out the other stuff he did.

You might like Tom Phillips for artwork... but that KC album cover was horrible.  It has a name like "Starless and Bible Black"... and it looks like a logo that would of been stamped on the side of a cardboard box...  That title is great.. and so much more could of been done with it!

Also that Trilogy album is a great cover.  The inside of that is just perfect....

I dislike the cover of Beat by King Crimson. It is just too 80s for me. The music is horrible also.

Gentle Giant have the talent of making absolutely horrible album covers.
Just check out Giant for a Day or Acquiring the Taste

Nobody mentioned Close to the Edge?

 

Does anybody know the album cover to Energetic Disassembly by Watchtower? I can't show the picture from the archives here but it's on there. For some reason, I really love that simple cheap futuristic look - same for the Magma logo - it's just so cool!

The CTTE cover is perfect!! It is like you are on the edge looking into a deep dark canyon.

Even 'Love Beach' is better than this load of old cak!

At least Love Beach keeps us amused
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Or... it's just green?

Fair enough if you like it, I just don't see anything good in it.
