Fave album cover?

[peckhamasbestos]

i love this

[Jah Lush]

Gotta be the Stones for me and one of their best too.

 

[Keef]

Funnily enough I read a thing about that cover the other day. I it was saying how everyone has always assumed it was Mick Jagger, but that it was actually just some bloke who was doing something around the studio that day.

[Annasfield]

I'm surprised that none of you chaps have posted this one (not my favorite btw)

As a kid, the three albums in my Dad's collection that always caught my eye were:

and....

Not a favourite, but this one by X-Ray Spex I have always liked.

And here's the Girls Aloud version!

 

[Ultraconsultancy]

I'd say anything by 23 envelope for 4ad records between 82 and 88; a classic colaboration that just [but only just ] pips saville at factory. Sean's citation of surfer rosa above an excellent example.

[Keef]

Good work Anna! >:D

[SeanMacGabhann]

of many things UC. *Ahem*

Good shout as well on the 80s design gurus. the first one I became aware of as a wee lad was Malcolm Garret of Assorted iMaGes - he did things like

Rio

 

[Incitatus]

Malcolm Garret of Assorted iMaGes - he did things like

Rio

Sure Garret was the graphic designer but I think the late Patrick Nagel has to take the credit for the Rio cover.

sloppiness on my part - good spot Incitatus

Radiohead OK Computer

Then wait for Piers to resize them all to prevent this thread from exploding people's eyes.

Keef's back >:D

[mockney piers]

I like this one, curiously disturbing for what's actually a pretty fantastic slice of power pop.

Click image through for youtube of "your ex lover is dead". A song about meaningless sex with an ex.

Mockney - I didn't know of anyone else who knew this album. One of my early friends at university did me a copy on tape and it got played and played and lent on and lost ...

[barrymarshall]

now i understand the yolk ...:))

[SeanMacGabhann]

I should have know someone (ie MP) would be on the case. Good cross-thread referencing sir!

[mockney piers]

I have a copy BM; I'll plop it on a USB key for a forum drinks or something. I don't lend CDs for that very reason, I lost dozens when a previous company made a lot of redundancies and people left with my CDs :(

I saw them live at The Venue in New Cross more years ago than I care to think about.

They were absolutely superb, even if the style has dated somewhat, I don't think I've seen a band play almost 2 hours seamlessly and remain so tight throughout!!!

[lozzyloz]

A favourite from my Jazz Funk Days

*got there in the end-thanks MP

[mockney piers]

 

[barrymarshall]

cheers MP - that would be most welcome! (tu)

in a similar vein, and also a dance-funk piece from 1996, another favourite album cover is Fila Brazillia's Maim that Tune:
