I have a sense of humour that delights in the ridiculous so the album covers I like best are, well, ........weird. And somehow it has nothing to do with photography!

Time Further Out

Time Further Out

Not strictly a "photo", but a very favorite album cover if mine is Dave Brubeck's "Time Further Out" with that painting by Miro.

 

[Photo_Smith]

Not really a photo, but I like the Led Zeppelin III (rotator). I had the pleasure to know the artist Zacron, and did a few portrait sittings of him. Here is one where you can see the drawings of the cover in the B/g with the artist himself in the foreground.

Other than that I like some of the Blue note covers particularly 'Blue Train' by John Coltrane

"London Calling" The Clash

Keith Jarrett - The Köln Concert
Wolfgang Frankenstein – photography

 

[Retro-Grouch]

Led Zep: Houses of the Holy. I thought this cover was the coolest thing ever done when it came out. Of course, I was a stupid teenager (is that redundant?), but it still holds a certain fascination.

 

[boojum]

Always for me, Cheap Thrills with Big Brother and the Holding Company featuring Janice Joplin with that crazy R. Crumb cover. It spoke to the period, brash, loud, out there, great music, stoned, fun, scary and if you remember it you were not there. ;o)

Four years ago I started wood carving. To this day I still wrestle between the wood carving and photography, so here are the two hobbies combined 😁 I'm sure most folk on here will recognise it immediately.

^^ King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King

Huge fan in the past (still have all the vinyl). But now, I mellowed out and listen to soft-rock to calm my nerves in my old age 😀🤣

Horses by Patti Smith

Photo by Robert Mapplethorpe

 

[Dogman]

Photo by Steve Horn and Norman Griner. One of the best if not the best album cover of all time. I have a T-shirt with this photo on it.

So many. Blue Note in the 50s and 60s. Sixties: December’s Children, anyone? How about A Hard Day’s Night? Then there’s the Hipgnosis stuff in the Seventies. I could go on but won’t.
