Coolest Album Cover Art Ever


Recommended Posts

Hi! There's a lot of cool album cover arts out there. Which one would you send to the cover arts "hall of fame"?

My vote goes to "No rest for the wicked", Ozzy Osbourn. I must confess...I had plenty of others on my mind :)

I think my all time favourite has to be The Beatles 'Revolver' - simply because I stared at it for many, many hours over a period of years as a kid.  I had an old Bush record player with a lid and I played that LP over and over and over.  I can still remember the intricacy of the artwork, the feel of the cover, the inside sleeve and the vinyl and how much I loved 'Revolver' (and still do).  :heartpump:

 

Sadly, I no longer possess the original vinyl copy.

Umm,,, the embarrassing album covers are more amusing to me,  However most are not suitable for public consumption, so I'll spare any links.

The Rolling Stone Magazine rates Sargent Pepper as best ever album cover.

 

 

This one is number 4.    The original had a real zipper on the jeans and real cotton on the underwear if the fly was left open:

I find these retro style covers appealing.

The 1st is actually old. The other just retro styled.

Hey Mary, indeed Ozzy's 80's music and album covers are all awesome. I think my favourite album cover is Starcastle's 1976 self-titled debut. Fantastic music, too.

Pink Floyd - Wish you Were Here

I mean, come on! A man, on fire mind you, just coolly shaking hands with some guy like there's nothing else going on. It's just badass.

Always liked this one. It's a reproduction of "A Basket of Roses" by Henri-Fantin Latour but it's so elegant, so dreamy.

Simultaneously intense and laid back.

Hi all!

Thanks for sharing!

 

White Soul Black Heart: Pink Floyd - Wish you Were Here. Dig that one too!

Green Bat: I had to "Spotify" Starcastle. Nice music!

I just want the 12" album cover to come back.  First it got squashed into that hideous plastic case.  Then, it disappeared altogether.
