Topic: Coolest Album Cover

I WAS THINKING EARLIER TODAY THAT JEFF BECK'S GUITAR SHOP AS ONE OF THE COOLEST COVERS EVER MADE.

WITH THE STRATOCASTER ON THE LIFT IN GARAGE WITH JEFF WORKING ON IT....THIS WAS ALSO A SIGNED LITHOGRAPH.

ANY VOTES OR COMMENTS

And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually.........

Re: Coolest Album Cover

I'll start with this one -  a picture can say, more than words can express - like this one - thanks Kurt.

Re: Coolest Album Cover

Pick one of the many early Moody blues albums. Any one of them would qualify.

Re: Coolest Album Cover

Being a long time Robert Palmer fan, I've always got a kick out of his album covers. I guess I'm attracted to the classy looking bad boys!!

Tough to beat Abraxas in its day. A lot of the early Yes album covers made for interesting mind travels when I was, um...younger.

Re: Coolest Album Cover

I was always partial to the early lenticular 3d Stones cover. TSMR.

Re: Coolest Album Cover

Sticky Fingers by The Stones, especially if you were lucky enough to get an original release with the zipper that was functional. Most of The Grateful Dead's and Journey's covers capture the Bay Area's psychedelic art movement.

I have that album on vinyl and the zip is still in working order smile Also got a CD with the zip which was a limited edition.

Captain Beyond - I mention this, as i've now obtained another copy, a CD this time!
Released in 72, One of the best debut albums, imo

Axe Victim Be Bop Deluxe 1974

When i first saw this in  74  this was a way way cool cover, look it up its a good view, and the track Adventures in a Yorshire landscape the guitar solo is one of the best ,so moving so good.

If you put Capt. Beyond on a horse in some armor with a battle axe, bingo! you'd have a Molly Hatchet album cover.

Re: Coolest Album Cover

Just about anything by Neon Park, but perhaps most of all the covers of Dixie Chicken and Sailin' Shoes.
