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?
@johnnybwood - That's Blodwyn Pig's "A Head Rings Out".... Great album! |
https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/2766198 Larsman yes I tried posting pictures of both but I guess I need the URL code. I tried copy and paste. It showed when I initially pasted them but disappeared when clicked post your response. |
@stuartk: Yep, I have Woodstock Vision, both the original 1994 edition by Continuum Publishing, and the 1996 edition that Landy published himself (LandyVision, Inc.). Both are 128 page paperbacks, with front covers different from each other and from the expanded hardcover edition you cite. I don’t need that version, as I have no interest in the Woodstock Festival.
I have two other Landy books I like much more:
- The Band Photographs, 1968-1969 (published by Backbeat Books in 2015). It is a 12-1/4" x 12-1/4" hardbound book containing 160 pages of B & W photos taken of The Band in and around the Big Pink house, as well as some color photos from the 1969 U.S.A. tour. Elliot provides copious details on the taking of the photos. Amazing! And essential. - Dylan Woodstock (published by Genesis Publications Limited in 2000). This is a deluxe hardbound book (with leather trim) in a slipcase. 144 pages of Dylan and The Band, he in and around his home in Woodstock, they around the Big Pink house in nearby West Saugerties. Both B & W and color photos, all with detailed notes by Landy. Beautiful!
I also have some large prints of photos Elliot took of The Band, suitable for framing. I got them from Elliot himself.

@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/
