[QUOTE 2879200, member: 9609"]I was always fascinated by the strange worlds and creatures that appeared on the "YES" albums, and always utterly disappointed by the crap that lay within the album covers[/quote]

Artist was Roger Dean, immortalised by the wonderful Half Man Half Biscuit, in Dickie Davis Eyes:
"And all those people who you romantically
Like to still believe are alive, are dead
So I’ll wipe my snot on the arm of your chair
As you put another Roger Dean poster on the wall"

Shameles plug for my mates old band Lemonjelly - the CD cover unfolds into the landscape night and day - very cool

(unfolded version of both inner and outer sleeve)

That is one of many albums I've bought purely for the cover. Pity every track is too long and over produced.

I always have been fascinated by this cover, one of hipgnosis' many classic cover pics.
