Camel by miles, moonmadness has one of the most beautiful covers ever, and this is the first time i see the american verion cover, man it is horrible! For gentle giant i think although the american cover isnt bad i find the other one better and more suitable with the music in the album.

I too prefer the American cover of Octopus, I think the original version is rather dark and dull. The alternate version is a far more interesting.

I think the original Moonmadness cover is better, but the American version is quite humourous

Moonmadness

Even though the Dean cover change is tasteless, the change of Moonmadness's cover is so horrible and ridiculous I actually chuckled out loud the first time I saw it.

I actually have the US version of Moonmadness.   The cover is very childish, not represenatitive of what the music sounds like at all.  I wonder what Andy Latimer thought of that change?

Erpland, where did you find that photo of Amon Düül 2? I thought I knew all the photos of them that are available in the web.

Another scandalous one is the change of cover for GG's Three Friends
 
 
 
And I prefer the US cover of Octopus

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
