Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover)
As a follow up to my discussion about your favorite cover album since some posters asked or posted about the artwork or picture on the cover of the album.
Mine is the cover art on the Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson. The stuff of nightmares.
What is your favorite album cover?
The most unique album cover I’ve seen is the original Sticky Fingers with a real functioning zipper on the front. Andy Warhol (a friend of Jagger) took the cover photo. Roger Dean’s artwork on Yes LPs was great, especially when accompanied with hallucinogens of the day while listening to the music. For pure cheese, Raspberries released an LP with a "Scratch & Sniff" sticker that smelled like...wait for it.... Raspberries!

@bassbuyer - In my college dorm back in 1970, some art students painted the inside of the elevator doors so that when the doors closed, you got the entire cover of the first King Crimson album looking at you!! Especially fun for the psychedelicized students, of which there were many of us. It was still there when I left in 1973.... |
