What are your favorite album covers? (Art Talk Post)
Gotta chime in here.

Here's a cover that may be largely responsible for a 40-year career (it helps that the music was and has stayed great too):

Roger Dean was a great match for the music of Yes--really seemed to complete them. His most elaborate work for the band:

Led Zeppelin also produced a couple of fun covers, with cutouts and moving bits so you could customize them, kinda. Zeppelin III had cutouts with a rotating inner layer of different pictures that showed through. Physical Graffiti had a bunch of windows cut out, with different scenes for each one on the various inner sleeves of the double album. You can't get that with a CD, and the Internet images I found weren't very helpful either.

There are a couple of CDs with fun covers, though. Tool, also mentioned above, had a 3D cover for Ænima and another kind of 3D booklet and glasses for 10,000 Days; Lateralus featured a booklet printed on clear plastic, so you could peel away the image like in some anatomy books you may have seen. Also Beck's "The Information" was basically blank and came with lots of stickers so you could make your own version.

andy warhol interview
Note how he shares a sly smile with the guy standing next to him near the end. I suspect they made a deal just before going on that he would answer only yes/no to all questions (possibly at random) and finally started to crack up about how it was going.

Confession: me too!

His 3 albums are some of the most valued treasures of my 90s CD collection, so I couldn't help jumping back on the old 900-foot bandwagon by posting another of his videos. Didn't know he used to have long hair!

P.S. Your avatar is the first album I ever owned! (yes, on vinyl)
