Clares posting of a cool album cover by a band called Iconoclast made me start thinking. One of the things we all appreciate is cover art (well I do at least Wink )...
So... post some of your favourite album covers...(or inserts)...

I'll start with
The Future Sound Of London - Lifeforms (2CD)
and the single...

The Future Sound Of London - Lifeforms (single)

Tried but failed to insert picture. Any advice on how to do so would be appreciated. Thanks.

What's all this right click malarkey then? (fish like Apple.)


One of my favourite covers in the Tusk LP by Fleetwood Mac. Beautiful inner sleeves within inner sleeves, printed on high quality stock.

Re: Album art... Cool covers, and suchlike.

When I win the lottery and have an enormous house, I'd like a retro room, whose furnishings would include a wall of the most kitsch album covers in my collection. Oddly enough, most of them seem to be Nancy Sinatra examples such as this:

 Movin with Nancy

 

Nancy Sinatra You GoGo Girl 

But also Dusty Springfield:

Where Am I Going

And of course possibly the most psychedelic album cover ever,  from Cream (who i've been playing rather loud today...)

Cream Disraeli gears

Brilliance.






More brilliance.





And as my other past-time is photography, this is just orgasmic in artistic terms...





And the thing I found most scary as a kid and still do:

You could do that now. You don't need millions for that! What's stopping you to create your dream room?

To me in terms of beauty and importance, nothing can beat the work of Peter Saville.
