I am a massive fan of beautiful and interesting album covers. Here are some of my favourites:
Pala by Friendly Fires
Pull the Pin by Stereophonics
Palookaville by Fatboy Slim
And a classic, Screamadelica by Primal Scream
I’d love to hear about some of your favourite covers, old or new

without any doubt. What happy memories. Now you know what generation I belong to.
I also once had a copy of Deep Purple in concert with the London Symphony Orchestra and as I recall that had a great cover too.
What about the one from Pink Floyd with a black and white cow? The music wasn't great though.
And the cover on Rubber Soul, or the Stones "Sticky Fingers" - rather risqué at the time!

Anyone who can help me upload a photo (only showing off slightly, please) contact me (spent about an hour on it)! Also, it's "Maltesers", of course.

Go 2 by XTC and Atom Heart Mother by Pink Floyd (the one with a cow) have been created by the British Hipgnosis art design group. They specialised in creating cover art for rock albums and you can see their works on the covers of such acts as T. Rex, The Pretty Things, UFO, 10cc, Bad Company, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Scorpions, Yes, The Alan Parsons Project, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, ELO and many others.

Here you are:
I would like to notice that it's called not Hot Chocolate's Hottest Hits but 20 Hottest Hits.

Here we "chuck a uey" (make a u-turn) if we have forgotten to bring "snags" (sausages) for the "barbie" (barbecue). The Australian version of the record only has 16 tracks. I'm surprised you didn't know that, Nikita

Oh, yes, Robin, I've forgotten that Aussies live on the other side of the globe and thus go heels over head...

| How relevant is cover art nowadays? | Sep 27, 2012 |
In the days of the (vinyl) albums - LPs -, covers were an important marketing tool. I think it was much less so when CDs were introduced. And now, now we download music, and cover art doesn't seem to matter anymore. True or false? And will book covers go the same way? I'm not exactly a Luddite, but…
Cheers,
Hans
