I find the USA cover to be better...or at least I like it more. And this comming from a man who has never heard the album!

Yeah.. oddly enough i find my self agreeing with you... Most Prog rockers would find themselve going for the Roger Dean cover by defult, but i think there's something more thoughtprovoking about the US cover. Dean art just doesnt suit GG's sound

It really doesn't suit the music as well as the jar, but it's a much better painting.

Are you kidding me? An Octopus in a jar is a hell of a lot more intriguing than an Octopus in the sea. How many Octopus's are there in jars? Think about it.

The Dean cover did not suit the overall mood of the album at all. But I will say it was pretty cool.

I prefer the more cartoonish USA one, for GG's music.

The octopus in the jar. The other one doesn't relate to the music as much ... it would be the perfect match for VdGG's H to He (although that cover is of course also really good).

My copy's got the Dean cover (as it would me being in the UK!) but I like the bizzare look of the US cover.

The Dean cover seems boring compared to the jar drawing.  Most people voting for the Dean cover are probably Yes fanatics, so there's no way they'll vote for the jar cover...

I can´t help to agree with you!

How can you agree with him when you've never heard the album?
