Coolest Album Cover?

Sign in to disble this ad
My vote goes to T Rex's Electric Warrior:



Just saw it a couple of weeks ago, totally brought me back to being a little kid--my eyes bulged out of my head and all I could think was "Ooooh, that's cool."

So what's your pick for coolest album cover(s)?

of course no way to share the multi layer transparencies that combine to form the image here...

Yeah, but that's not the cover, either.

A triple album with booklets and everything!

Roger Dean actually lives in my home town and my Brother-in Law who is a printer has done some work for him - I have signed copies!!

He has a great signature!!

One of my all-time favorites. I have one hanging in my music room. Mine doesn't have the autographs though.

Always liked this cover because of the look on the guys face. IMHO, he *knows* he's screwed, but he's going to give it a go anyway.
