Great album cover, great album. FNM seem to be a forgotten band these days but they're definitely one of the best in the past 20 years IMHO.

My all time favorite.

Dead Kennedys - Frankenchrist

And while we're on album covers, how the hell did Blind Faith ever get away with the front of their self-titled release?

 

[The Dice Man]

Goes with.....

 

[Leaping Lindner]

My all time favorite.

Dead Kennedys - Frankenchrist

And while we're on album covers, how the hell did Blind Faith ever get away with the front of their self-titled release?

They didn't in this country. It was released in a plain beige coloured jacket with a picture of the band in the centre and the band name above. How they got away with it overseas?? Good question.

Spinal Tap's 'Smell the Glove'.

Completely agree. This thread should be favourite Iron Maiden album covers... The rest just dont really stack up.

The "No Prayer..." cover was changed in 1998 for any subsequent reprints. The gravedigger was removed, and inscription placed on the plaque in the bottom left corner. I think the predominant blue in the cover might also have been a shade darker.

I also reckon some of the Iron Maiden albums are worth getting on vinyl JUST for the artwork. The detail and intricacy on some of them (Somewhere In Time, Powerslave, Brave New World) can't be done justice on a CD cover.

Pearl Jam- No Code

Here's one from one of the old album cover threads.

Funki Porcini - Fast Asleep

Defies belief. Was Ginger Baker's daughter.

Ah, but you should have seen what they wanted to put on the cover. It wasn't a glove she was smelling.

Yeah, Leapster. I couldn't even bring myself to include a photo of it on this thread.

Maybe it was more suited to a Glitter Band album cover? Or Pete Townsend (for research purposes, of course)?

Loved Sgt Pepper's cover as a kid. Used to pour over Big sis's copy

Loved Schools Out by Alice Cooper as a bigger kid.
