The worst album cover I have ever seen, although the music is fantastic.

Oh My God!! That dreadful Gong album cover has to be the worst album cover ever!
 I just hope the godawful Gong album cover was Saved by the Music.

Just goes to show that our imaginations sometimes take over and lead us to either like something or not. It's hardly the worst album cover out there. An album like Close To The Edge deserves a better album cover for instance. In fact it would look much better with the Kansas album cover for Point Of Know Return!

I've been in the middle of a Gong marathon over the last two weeks, so there's this one. I think it could do with a better background and the title in a different font.

Hi, Careful ... you might be told you don't listen! (It's a close up on an ear under water ... a take on a line about not listening according to the Hipgnosis book! You can see it better on the English LP setting as it is clean ... the American version is badly reproduced and the cover is more difficult to figure out.)

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I'm not keen on Birth Control's "Hoodoo Man" cover although it does fit the title track.

I just feel very inadequate looking at that. I suppose the theme is 'oh sh*t punk is happening and we aren't going to get away with another Roger Dean cover'

First three Yes album covers and also 90125 and Big Generator. YMMV.

 What makes this a bad album cover to me is his petulant stance. |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I do like the Spring album cover. It's nice and creepy.

Soft Machine's. Truly uninspired. By the way, I like that one by Spring which shows either a dead or sleeping bobby wrapped in what appears to be the Union Jack.

No, better:  I prefer this one, and also Zep's Houses of the Holy, over the ones aforementioned.
