Favourite Album Artwork

[Dmoney]

I want to see cover art you really like, if the artwork and layout inside an LP or CD or whatever all fits or whatever.
not just classic covers... some hidden jems please!

Great idea for a thread!

I have many favourite album covers, but the one that really moved me when I was a young'in, and still does today, is the cover painting for Rush's Caress Of Steel:

Anything that isn't Iron Maiden's Dance of Death. Christ, that was terrible.

Having said that, this is absolutely godly:

[Fourth Feline]

This may be on the edge of the remit, as it probably includes / represents material from an abstracted photographic base, but by definition it is art(full) work . So I just had to submit these three :

Favourites for me (vinyl lp - covers, inner sleeve, labels and all) were:

Queen - Night at the Opera
- generally beautiful

Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
- intriguing and clever

Rory Gallagher - Top Priority

This last one was my MOST favourite, all red and white, with black and white photos. One side of the inner sleeve was a close up of a his hand with a slide on on the fretboard. The package just did the whole thing for me (plus the music in the grooves). His brother Donal has kinda spoiled it for me on the remastered CD - not a dash of red in the artwork, period incorrect photos, and remixed the fecking thing!!

I liked Stage Struck too... where's the bluddy artwork gone on the CD on that one as well??

Couldn't find any pics of the inner sleeves (and I can't be @rsed to get mine out and photograph them...)

Looking through the eyes of tomorrow

[Madiac]

I really tend to like death metal, extreme thrash metal covers, even though i like other music better.
HOWEVER, i LOVE Cirith Ungols covers (love the music too!)







Also, Death has some nice ones...
Oh god, there are so many nice ones, but i usually find the ones i like among the more unusual metal bands.



Heres also a good site http://www.truemetal.org/metalwallpaper/ for finding cd covers.

I love the hippy style artwork & posters that '70's produced, but I love this
