Post the best LP or Cassette cover from your collection

Wow, title sounds like my fav Ray Bradbury story: "Boys! Raise Giant Mushrooms in Your Cellar!"

Anyway, just Do It!... I go first:

It helps that I also Love the album. Hate the sticker!

 

Can't go wrong with this one!

 

I don't know if they are my best, but these are some interesting ones i like.

 

you missed one:

 

Ha ha, i only post what is in my collection

 

Good Boy! that was the idea! I have all Aphex Twin tunes, but downloaded "windowlicker" so that I won't have to look at the artwork posted above. Actually, did the same with "Country Life" for the same reason So, when the Teacher, ahem, site admin, kicks us out of here I will cry that you started first!

 

Ha ha, these are tame covers

 

For me, two of the beautiest covers ever




...and one of the ugliest EVER (although, one of the best records ever)

 

Bought this album 30 years ago because I liked the cover. Little did I know that I will play it more often than any Genesis album.
This one, I believe, is my fourth copy!

 

One of my favorites is Pink Floyd's 'Meddle' album from 1972.

 

Latest posting here is a photo of cassette duplication of compact disc to Triad MG-X C60 cassette. Custom j-card prepared. Type IV tape formula with no noise reduction utilized. Note the unique cassette shell design, appropriate for Pink Floyd albums like DSotM and Meddle.

@KJ Bleus Parsons - over the span of 50+ years of my life I had read only 3 (three!) biographies, all of my fav Dudes: of William Faulkner, of Antoine De Saint-Exupery, and of Pink Floyd Dudes... Meddle cover is depicting human ear, under water, with 'sound waves' over it... Since then (according to PF bio) - they realized that album cover should be under their control and they signed with Hypgnosis... and since then it Was Good!!! Meddle is my Fav album, but according to PF they hated the cover... According to the Bio legend, classic Atom Heart Mother album cover they shot on their own...


I really-really like and have quite a few albums from ECM label, and you can tell that it is ECM Label by the album cover, there is some Nordic, B&O-B&W minimalism vibe to them... here is a cover for my favorite album Khmer by my fav artist:


As with Meddle, I am not sure and do not care what is depicted, but the music is sooo out-of-this-world (those who visited my house said that Khmer is the Best from Miles Davis!!!) that cover image gets imprinted into my brain as something Good...

 

Thanks for the personal thoughts, Jorge .....

I agree regarding the PF 'Meddle' cover artwork; Continuously floating around my mind,
and also serves as my desktop screen background for many years.



My interpretation is of the martian landscape we'll see much more of in future explorations.

I will check into the 'Khmer' album, have a listen also.

Merci

Bleus

 

Howdy Jorge,

Thanks so much for mentioning the Khmer album, really quite good music.
I grabbed a used compact disc (Discogs.Com), and spun a nice cassette version.
Excellento !!!

That is an outta sight standing stone .....

Revisiting some of the progressive rock classics from the late 1960s, and particularly the immortal King Crimson album.
