favorite album covers?

[ganpres37]

what are some of your favorite album covers? here's my favorite at the moment, the album is you won't get what you want by daughters. i think it's so pretty to look at, and like, to me, i see it as a visualization of a figure who's either lost their mind or is suicidal.

Understated masterpiece. Bleak. Dark and haunting. Nico and John Cale successfully achieved creating a new world and ambience with this recording.

I have first pressings of her weirdest shit (love, love, love "The Marble Index") And this vinyl was the only version to have a textured sleeve.

The cover is a shot from "La Cicatrice Interieure"(The Inner Scar) directed by Philippe Garrel. Again, another world.

Lorn - Vessel
Orbital - In Sides
Rush - Power Windows
Mitch Murder - Glass Cities (I love many of his other album covers, I'm a sucker for that retro aesthetic)
Röyksopp - Melody A.M.

John Zorn had like a zillion album covers and I love most of them

Also, not a favorite album cover, but rather a ritual I have with a specific album.

Whenever I go to a record store, I locate every copy of this record (there's always at least one):

and I slide it up, so that Lionel Richie's sensual gaze is just peeking out from amidst the records, like

hello..... is it me you're looking for....

I have not heard a single one of those albums, but I really dig the art in the third and fourth ones

To be honest, I have only listened all the way through through one of them

Lil Peep - Come Over When You're Sober Pt1

I used to be a big time vinyl collector, I still have them all. I loved going to record fairs searching out rarities, it was a ritual to go up the town on days off to buy the latest releases. I also used to dodge school and go and hang out at the record shops and spend the day walking around the city centre until it was time to go home.
Led Zeppelin always produced great covers, some had a novelty aspect.
The Stones sticky fingers is an iconic cover with the real zip on it.
Sgt Peppers was ground breaking, like the music within.

 

[thatguyakira123]

Basically Almost Anything From GloryHammer.

 

[Johnnythefox]

I never could find these classic albums.

Every time I see that album cover with the Faith Tones, I'm simply astonished by the left woman's hair. I like to imagine it's just actually just a really thin layer covering the weirdest head shape ever seen in a human.

 

[thatguyakira123]

Basically Almost Anything from Journey. I have some of these records.

That's funny, I was actually thinking about posting Houses of the Holy. Always loved that cover

YES to those Zeppelin covers. I used to have the vinyls of Physical Graffiti & Houses of the Holy, too (wtf happened to them?!). Ugh, the best.
