    If you do an image search, you should be able to click on one and have an option to "view original image"... just copy the link and then come here, click the picture icon and paste it in there

    Santana Abraxas

    The first Santana album cover is still amazing

    Willie Colon 'Lo Mato' (I'll Kill Him...if you don't buy this LP) was definitely cool at its time and will never had passed today's gunz phobia. Willie Colon in the 70s always had gangster-like themes for his album covers

    ELO: Out of the Blue. Great art by the late Shusei Nagaoka

    Earth Wind & Fire always had great album covers
    [​IMG]

    The Salsoul Orchestra cover raised many eyebrows...and many penis
    [​IMG]

    Charo and The Salsoul Orchestra was equally great
    [​IMG]

    Cher 'Take Me Home' cover seems like a live Frazetta painting. Lots of flesh and great fantasy costume.

  14. Yeah it's a great album....but great cover?
     
  15. Panchy comes to the table with some great covers!

    I think so. It looks like an old photo from the West. And who the hell are those Native American guys? This album came out in 1968. And with it, Dylan officially dropped out of the movement he helped start.

    I love that cover
     
  19. Accepted.
     
  20. All good ones cdogg.
    Ogden's Nut Gone Flake was the predecessor to Metal Box by PIL, but had the same problems: because the packaging was a circular tin, the album would roll off shelves....

    Santana's first album was what popped into my head first, but Panchy already posted it. So he are some others....

    [​IMG]

    The only record I can think of that wasn't in a square cover...

    [​IMG]

    Obviously this makes this list, probably the most iconic cover ever...

    Did it predate Ogden's Nut Gone Flake for 'circular album cover'?

    Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band was the first album to include a) lyrics b) cut-out inserts

    Totally copied the Small Faces

    Should they have made an album cover of a coin in a square?

    I was never a fan of Small Faces, which is funny because Humble Pie was awesome.
