ITs actually a pig ear underwater, just another thing to make this album full of crazy/experimental ideas.

I don't even know how long ive spent staring at that album cover trying to interpret it. The closest I ever got with interpretting it was, crop circles.

The waves look like crop circles, and the rest of the ear looked like a crop field. I figured taht mabey the title "Meddle" came from the "aliens" "meddling" with Earth.

No, I don't think so... And I think it's a human ear.

Just be thankful the band didn't get their way with this album. If I recall from Nicolas Shaffner's book "A Saucerful Of Secrets: The Pink Floyd Odyssey", the band wanted a closeup shot of a baboon's anus, which was thankfully vetoed by the Powers That Be.

I don't know, the album cover is soo bad, I think a baboon's anus would have looked much better!

Meddle is a mixed bag. Echoes is great and One of These Days..as well as Flaming are very good as well.

Then the rest of it is poo.

Fortunately Echoes is one side length long making it an essential Floyd lp to own.

The cover?....Meh!!

Meddle was their first 'good' album IMO..

There are numerous gems on there, apart from Echoes. I love 'Fearless' & 'A pillow of Winds'

The cover has never made any impression on me at all.

It is a human ear - I once saw an interview where they showed a sequence of pictures of the making of the Meddle sleeve - and you saw the guy whose ear it was.

The picture represents Echoes, to the best of my knowledge - an aural depiction of the ocean.

I must be alone in actually liking "Seamus"... I don't think the album has a single weak point!

Meddle remains my fave Floyd album and I'm so glad they documented that time in the Pompeii Video/DVD. I'm very happy with most of the album but even I acknowledge that 'Seamus' is not er...very good.

I think that most people might regard 'Echoes' as Floyd classic and I'd love to see the guys (in whatever line-up) play that baby again but I'm not holding my breath!

As for album covers, has anybody got any idea what THIS is????

Got me stumped there, sigod! It might be a prog horse...Basically it could be anything you like. I think Waters & Co wanted you to interpret as you see fit..
