Your Favorite Album Covers of All Time
I’ve always had a thing for Carole King’s Tapestry cover and the dreamy, mellow hippie vibe that gives it such a great sense of time and place.

Hands down, Horses, by Patti Smith with the photograph by Robert Mapplethorpe before anyone knew who he was. It was daring to do black and white cover at that point in time, but it became an iconic classic image that defines her until today.

Devo - Are We Not Men?
From wikipedia:
[quote] The cover was illustrated by Joe Heiner. According to an essay by Devo co-founder and bass guitarist Gerald Casale included on the Complete Truth About De-evolution DVD, the cover of their debut album is based on an image of the famous professional golfer Juan "Chi-Chi" Rodríguez that they had found on a golf strap. According to Casale, David Berman, Senior Vice President of business affairs at their recording company Warner Bros., decided that the image could not be used because "he was a golf fan and felt we were making fun of Chi Chi." The band offered to contact Rodriguez personally but had time constraints, due to the forthcoming production of their album. The manager of the company's art department, Rick Serini, recommended an artist who could airbrush and alter the face of the picture, while lead singer Mark Mothersbaugh offered a picture he'd procured from a local newspaper that morphed the faces of U.S. presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. These ideas were later morphed with the original "Chi Chi" Rodriguez image to create the cover art of the album.
I see some Kennedy, Nixon, and Ford. Maybe the ears are Johnson?

What would a thread on album covers be without the adorable Andy Gibb?
His first album - Flowing Rivers. My 45 vinyl single of I Just Want To Be Your Everything came in the exact sleeve.
