Album Cover Art

[stevie_r]

From your collection, your most iconic album cover, ones with personnel meaning or just a thing of beauty. Only one pic per post please guys until everyone has had a crack and then we can come out with more. Cue the Iron Maiden guys

For me it's:

 

[Old Skier]

My favourite album as a kid and the first I have a true memory of. The cover opened out and had dance moves. I remember putting it on to play by myself when I was about 8 and dancing around the living room. Parent were raging because it was about 7am. I know his name has been tarnished but doesn't change the fact that this was a brilliant album.

This. Loved it the minute I heard it, still love them today, incredible live too and there are 3 songs on the album which really do relate to times in my life.

Dare I post the Fugazi album cover? No, I dare not.....

Here's a personal favourite..

 

[Pin-seeker]

Absolutely hammered this album in my teen years,not a bad song on it.

 

[Imurg]

First time I heard the Title track this is what happened to my head.....

There's a couple of Whitesnake ones from my teens that seemed to have a bit of an "effect" on me I seem to remember ...

 

[Liverbirdie]

My first thoughts were the "The trooper" by Iron Maiden, the album cover of "American heartbeat" which spawned a love of that type of music (Reo speedwagon, Journey, Toto, Survivor etc), Nirvana's "Nevermind" was another one,as was Johnny Cash's "at San Quentin" but settled with this:-

Legendary.

I can't believe Liverbirdie didn't use a Maiden cover.
Well I'll have to rectify that now.

This group had some pretty spectacular album art. Growing up I used to go through my older brothers vinyl collection and this is a group that he particularly loved.

Anyone recognise it?

Stunning artwork and I think it's a Roger Dean piece for the Yes album, Relayer.

 

[Liverbirdie]

Yes, and yes.

Slightly disappointed, I thought I was going to see photos of a wizard's sleeve.....

 

[Hobbit]

Really wanted to put Electric ladyland up, but this'll do.
Arguably the first ever heavy metal album.

My mate had a request for an album cover from a guy who played in Korn, he came up with this. I like it a lot but it isn't like his normal stuff lol.
