BaldFriede:
The cover you posted is too blurred, and I can't read neither the group name nor the album title. Could you post it again or tell the band name? ------------- This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper |

It is "Visions" by Clearlight. It has a naked woman in the Lotos position on the cover, with the chakras shown on her body. ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

The advent of the CD killed album cover art, which is a real pity. However, in the '70s there were some real masterpieces around! Here are some of my favourites: Yes - CTTE, Relayer
KC - ITCOTCK, ITWOP, Lizard, LTIA, Discipline
Genesis - Wind and Wuthering
Gentle Giant - Octopus
ELP - BSS
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
Caravan - In the Land of Grey and Pink
Led Zeppelin - IV, Presence
Pink Floyd - WYWH, Animals

How about Porcupine Tree: Coma Divine? In fact most of theirs are consistently good. And all the Pendragon covers from The World onwards are superbly executed. And Genesis: Nursery Cryme, and A Trick Of The Tail are both wonderful! And the early 'jester' covers for Marillion. And give Steve Hackett's catalogue a good looking over, his wife Kim Poor does most of his, and she is very talented with sand and glass etchings! |

Relayer, Agaetis Byrjun, and Godbluff.
And let's not forget http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e172/8484/Bad%20Music/jimpost.jpg - the most transcendent album cover ever. -------------

Like everyone else I love all these drawn and well known prog art
greats: Nursery Cryme, Relayer, IN the land of Grey and Pink, Warrior
at the Edge of Time, Moonmadness... But these unknown, and well known psychedelic photobased covers are also fantastic:      ------------- Over land and under ashes In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me |
