[studio150]

With people drooling over the Country Life album cover on another thread, what's your favourite album cover.

I'll offer three for differing reasons



This just captures the feel of the album



Probably the most icon album cover



Just a fun cover



Yours?

I always loved this cover, a gatefold sleeve , the inside was excellent as well

Remember buying this on vinyl and being amazed at the detail that Derek Riggs gets into the cover with lots of little gags buried in the hieroglyphics.

Is the correct answer.

 

[Superphil]

Probably has to be this

 

[Nitram]

Early Gatefold Aladdin Sane
Or Screamadelica, and Space Ritual. Can’t really decide.

Love the cover and the robot handshake image on the record

 

[Badger]

Always liked this one from Pet Shop Boys too

I also like this cover of Animals by Pink Floyd.
I don't own this album, but when I was a kid I went past Battersea Power Station on the train when the inflatable pig was tied to the chimneys.
I didn't know this was used on a Pink Floyd cover until years later when I was passing the power station again on a train with a school friend. I told my friend about the pig and he told me about the album cover and showed me the sleeve in a record shop when we got to Victoria.

The LP Version of Space Ritual as it folds out to 12 different (and of course for Hawkwind bizarre) covers. Quality and quantity, thank you Barney Bubbles.
