great yeah but it is the back cover.. scariest looking band around... to say nothing of the crew..





Micky, you know the story why the ABB is hilarious on that shot??

Just a few seconds before, they were in execrable moods, because they'd been waiting for the man (dealer) for hours, and he was nowhere to be seen.

As they were getting ready for the picture, the man crossed the picture path and dropped on Duane's lap a big bag of dope and disappeared out of the field. All that Duane could do was to conceal "da dope" evidence between his crotch and cover it with his hands, therefore creating general hilarity

I'd always heard this story as the band being pissed off that the photographer dragged them out to get the picture taken at sunrise. They were all tired and told him that it wouldn't make any difference what time of day the picture was taken. So they were being all pouting until they recognized a dealer walking by and Duane ran over and grabbed some "product", hiding it between his legs and creating the shot we have today. Still a great story behind the album cover!

Hi,

For sheer originality and content ... just get "The Album Cover Book". It also has a history section.

Hipgnosis is my choice here, for its creativity and what I consider intelligence and literate artistic style.

After that the covers for AD2's Yeti, Dance of the Lemmings, Carnival in Babylon and Wolf City.

There are only 2 other albums that I kept/bought for the covers ... the original "Space Ritual" by Hawkwind with is incredible fold out, and "Be Good to Yourself ... " by Man.
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 concur with that assessment Simon. Great art work - somewhat unengaging music...at least to these ears.

I enjoy prog cover art almost as much as music. Some examples that haven't been mentioned yet:

Harmonium

Love the Harmonium and Jon Anderson ones! The vinyl LP covers are incredible, especially for the Harmonium one, which has a great inner gatefold, too.
