favourite album covers

[thegrumpybiker]

Going back to conversations I had with XmisterIS and Tdr1nka the other day on band connections thread, I was into the music of Eat Static and Ozric Tentacles. Their cover art was suitably trippy too.
I'll see if I can work out how to post it up, I may have to just do links though.

OK, I don't have it, it makes me laugh.

I like the cover of a little-known surf-punk album, Hang 11. My bro' was in one of the bands.

 

[thegrumpybiker]

Arse!
I just tested out those links I added for Ozrics/Eat Static and it refuses to show the images.
Copyright problems?
Gonna go for a sulk now.

Sulk no more, they work fine for me.

Thelonius Monk - Monk. (Columbia)

John Coltrane - Blue Train (Blue Note)

Eddie Hubbard (Blue Note)

And of course, Canonball Adderly and co. with Somethin Else (also on Blue Note) - the perfect typographic album cover

 

[Fnaar]

The blue note ones are generally fab....

Ozric who? They're just whipper snappers : not even album but CD covers! You need a solid gatefold to skin up on!

Come round mine then! I've got a few Ozrics and Eat Static double vinyl gatefolds you can Camberwell carrot up on.

I like the way 'live' is in inverted commas.

Music sounds much deeper and profound when one is under the influence of mind expanding chemicals! I recall enjoying OMD's Architecture and Morality whilst tripping out on mushrooms, high up in a South London tower block circa 1982. Bloody good album cover too, not gatefold though, but some fancy inner sleeve designs.

^ Another Peter Saville IIRC

Your memory is going User3094, well according to Wiki. Mainly Joy Division & new order. He did Gay Dad's debut album http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leisure_Noise what a great little band that imploded under the weight of its own hype. Saw them at the ICA doing a web cast - cracking good gig. Good cover too!

Oh don't make me reach for the Google stick...... Oh you had to didnt you.....
