Music thread: your favourite album cover

[Buzzer]

I'll start:

 

[WATFORD zero]

 

[house your seagull]

was at a talk with peter hook, and designer peter saville was so mongoed from a heavy night he could not take that picture down to london to the printers, so tony wilson got peter hook to do it, took it on the train in a paper bag.

turned out to be one of th best i suppose, musically and from a graphic design point of view.

 

[house your seagull]

and SPLHCB cover by the great peter blake, was made up of lots of boards with the celebrities bodies on, i was lucky enough to see the board of brighton's very own max miller at an exhibition at my university a few years back ....

 

[Nibble]

Not amazingly exciting but I really like it.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Best EVER.

 

[house your seagull]

doesn't do it justice on a computer screen ...

*wonders which post-punk band has been in the media lately...*

 

[tedebear]

Hmm difficult - is it my favourite album cover or the cover of my favourite album?

Heres one to start with anyhow:

 

[7:18]

 

[crodonilson]

This is a beast...

i don't think this is as much about JD as it is about Peter Saville who is a genius and probably the most recognizable name when talking graphics in music.

see his work for suede in the mid nineties and the classic new order stuff, also - sh!t band but great design - gay dad who had some great sleeve work.

Don't get me wrong, i'm not denying Savilles quality at all.

i have lots of time for this-

for instance, ableit a single.

I just wonder if we'd be so aware of, and impressed by, their (JDs) artwork if it wasn't very their recent (re)new found fame.

Joy Division have been one of my favourite bands for YEARS. Not sure how much of their fame is 'new' as you put it...

 

[Grendel]

 

[Johnny Byrne superstar]

Peter Saville's early work for Factory was the high point of his career. Closer and Unknown pleasures are great.
I love the way Blue Monday (the biggest selling vinyl single) actually lost money on every copy because the floppy disc sleeve cost too much to produce....

I like this...
