I happened to be in the studio when one of their LPs was being recorded......
Just don't remember which one. I believe that Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary was the producer of one of the LPs.

You're beginning to scare me ... a little.

I love album art that just *grabs* me. This one never fails:

Boy oh boy...Phil, figuring how old the album is, I guess as a younger teenager it was a tie between this cover and the Sears catalog for smacking off ?????

It isn't quite as old as The Gutenberg Press but I can't tell you why that album cover always stuck in my head but I remember it in stores. Per Google, it was released in October 1969.

Probably the biggest thing I miss about record albums (and it has been about 32-33 years since I last owned a turntable with multiple cartridges, stylus microscope, stylus gauge, cleaner, silver headshell wires, record cleaners, etc., and I never thought I would give them up or physical media - played many of them in my young days on horrible equipment and probably only had about 40 pristine audiophile recordings when I finally gave it up) are the covers. There was just something nice about holding the cover. I remember the 3D cover the Stones' Satanic Majesties Request or the red felt on the Bee Gees Odessa and the MoFi UHQRs.

I always loved this cover

Hey Pumpkin...great to hear from you again...and yes, Pearl;s before Swine is one of my favorites...of course, as covers are concerned, not a huge fan of Hyronimus Bosch...
Phil....absolutely correct...for most of us vinyl heads, holding the covers is a biggie....and for me it is awesome art.....anybody who is interested...go to 1/2 price books, and many times they have LP cover art books over there, bought 9 so far. And one of my walls of my listening rooms has all of the LP frames I can fit....37 of them, showing off my idea of art.......(and yup, LP covers are wayyy nicer than Sears catalog's, heheheheheheeee)
-
I always liked these two:

Come on Klaus it's a pretty cool cover
The Garden of Earthly Delights is the modern title given to a triptych painted by the Early Netherlander master Hieronymus Bosch. It has been housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid since 1939. Dating from between 1490 and 1510, when Bosch was between about 40 and 60 years old, it is his best-known and most ambitious complete work.

scorpions, virgin killer, was crazy as hell when it came out! have th original Japanese vinyl version, and the Japan cd version.
always liked the band " Angel" their logo spelled their band name upright or upside down, great stuff.
Venom's welcome to hell as well, plain, but in 1980 when disco was still in full swing, and music was pretty much still friendly, along comes the mighty Venom with Welcome to Hell, and completely changed the world with their style, and unproduced magic sound ! Hail The Legions !
i miss album art, with cd/s one really can't sit back and study the atet these days, too small to see all intended art.
i try to hget the m usic on LP if possible, but with prices hitting 30-40 dollars for a new release on record, and the cd is only 8-10 dollars, its a no brainer. sorry LP, your way too expensive. loved the Kreator Pleasure to Kill LP cover, way bad ass !
-
I was thinking of the Scorpions album as well...Almost all the Iron Maiden covers were awesome. My parents had this album in their collection when I was growing up.

Oops, that should have been Ruth is Stranger Than Richard ... not fiction, though she's probably stranger than fiction as well.

....and then there is the treasure trove of Blue Note/Reid Miles cover art ( which has rightfully been hailed as some of the most iconic/important graphic art of the 20th century ).....

Linda ronstadt, hell fuc*!king yes! She was one of the most beautiful, sexy women women I had ever seen on an album cover. I was much younger. Then some famous names started popping up on album covers, the runaways, doro pesch with Warlock & her solo stuff, what a woman! Joan Jett and those sultry "come bang me eyes", lita ford.
Let's not forget the Sears Roebuck 8 inch catalogue with a 30 page underwear, bra section, yeah baby!! \m/
Mum & dad had this Barbara streisand album with her on the back cover in these very very short shorts, slight ass cheek view, wow, she was also gorgeous, and that body would make venus jealous
And Sabina Classen of holy Moses fame, whoa baby, so beautiful! Yum

For those who want a print of the original art on the album cover Pumpkinman posted, it is titled "Ophelia" by Sir John Everett Millais. You can get it on Amazon and several museum shops. Get the best print possible because the details are exquisite.
-
May not be the best album cover but it's sure the most recognizable ever. And one of the best recordings ever made. I don't even have to name the band.

For me, there was a time when then album art was key to a purchase. I can remember perusing the LPs at the record store looking for non-pop-radio that I thought I might like that. Turned me on to bands like Yes where art led me to the music. Another I remember was Hawkwind. I'm sure there were many more. I guess I kinda liked the ethereal vibe...

Got to agree that this is one of the most visually striking covers... along with Linda Ronstadt standing firmly at attention!

Shoutout to my German days...local bands from Hannover (and I've met and known Rudolf S. and Klaus M. since I was 14 !!! they still live in the neighborhood)....Jane is my single most favorite German band.

And people are remembering that Hypergallery is now working with noted album art artists to reproduce their art on art print paper and using the highest quality inks. All the Hipgnosis work is there, not inexpensive, but it's there.

Yeah, art's expensive, and the cost reflects a limited run, a signed print and the high quality of the reproduction. These ain't dorm room wall posters.
There's a Pentangle Sweet Child reproduction there, a silk-screen done in 10 colors, by the original artistt at a cost of about $1600 American. The album is one of my all time favorites but that's too rich for me.

The Gun was a late 1960s British rock guitar trio who had a single British Top Ten hit, "Race with the Devil" and recorded two albums before disbanding.
Their debut album's cover is noteworthy as it was the first by Roger Dean.

One of the "classic rock" bands that never re-united and probably never will (considering they are all deceased except for Bill Nelson).....it would be cool if Bill would put together another version of the Band for one last U.S. tour....don't see it happening though.
