Nice thread Peter... Always Thought Hawkwind had brilliant album covers. "Space Ritual" folds out about all over the place and this one...
folds out into a "Chaos" shield on one side and a much bigger pic on the other side. Love the "Yes" Roger Dean covers as well.

Definitely "Dark Side of the Moon"....also Eliminator ZZ Top sticks in my head. You've got me thinking now......I have to say I do miss the artwork. A CD cover is just not the same. Nothing like a good Gatefold Sleeve. I also liked the cover of Róisín Dubh ...that was Jim Fitzpatrick wasn't it?
p.s. Good Topic Edited by Esthalon |

Jim Fitzpatrick did a number of Thin Lizzy sleeves such as 2 of my favourite covers Johnny the Fox and the Jailbreak LP. Also for strangeness the Brain Salad Surgery by ELP. Sticky Fingers (original with the zip) - Rolling Stones (bY the way the cake on the cover of Let it Bleed was made by Delia Smith).
Also almost any by Roger Dean. Covers dont have the same impact anymore in CD size. There is very little scope to do much thats different. |

Finno, I have ELP's Brain Salad Surgery too (H.R. Giger?) he also designed the
creatures for the Alien movies & a Deborah Harry album? have to wikipedia that! Loved Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot too. Martin - I remember taking the Wish You Were Here postcard to France and posting it back to a mate. |

Good call CP re Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot. Very odd covers, but excellent!

This is my favourite. Loved the way you could move the letters around when you took out the inside sleeve. Yeah, I know..............didn't take a lot to amuse me in those days. Also liked Presence and In Through the Out Door,with the brown bag cover. Edited by Rolo |
