Yes "Close To The Edge" inside the two piece jacket
ZZ Top " Tres Hombres" inside the two piece jacket. I know a lucky dog who got to eat at the restaurant pictured in the photo years ago. That is my dream Mexican restaurant.
Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover)
As a follow up to my discussion about your favorite cover album since some posters asked or posted about the artwork or picture on the cover of the album.
Mine is the cover art on the Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson. The stuff of nightmares.
What is your favorite album cover?
@bassbuyer - When 'Wish You Were Here' first came out, you couldn't even see the cover - there was a dark blue or purple wrapping around it, with a sticker saying what it was on the dark wrapper. |
@jastralfu - Thank you! |
@larsman @bassbuyer there is an icon on the toolbar ribbon above the reply text box that has a picture of a landscape in it, sixth from the left. Find a jpg or other image file on the web and copy the url for the image. Click the icon on the toolbar and paste the url into the url text box. Click ok and this will load the image into your post. |
Hah! Yes you would! I’m a fan of The Band, too, but one not need be to enjoy a fine photograph. In fact, I own a book of Landy’s photographs from that era: "Woodstock Vision". Mine's an older version. It's since been updated, expanded: https://www.elliottlandy.com/product/woodstock-vision-hardcover-book-signed-by-elliott/

@bassbuyer - In my college dorm back in 1970, some art students painted the inside of the elevator doors so that when the doors closed, you got the entire cover of the first King Crimson album looking at you!! Especially fun for the psychedelicized students, of which there were many of us. It was still there when I left in 1973.... |
The most unique album cover I’ve seen is the original Sticky Fingers with a real functioning zipper on the front. Andy Warhol (a friend of Jagger) took the cover photo. Roger Dean’s artwork on Yes LPs was great, especially when accompanied with hallucinogens of the day while listening to the music. For pure cheese, Raspberries released an LP with a "Scratch & Sniff" sticker that smelled like...wait for it.... Raspberries!
