Hall of Fame - Best Album Covers

Best Album Covers

Here is a selection (in chronological order of original release) of the most elaborate album covers of all time. Unfortunately not all of them have been released on mini LP (not yet anyway).

You could argue that some of these are actually "the most annoying album covers of all time" given that it can sometimes be quite difficult to get the final product (the vinyl or CD discs) out without potentially dropping and thereby scratching them.

Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers - early Japanese Mini LP version (made in USA) Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers 1971.04 Conceived by Andy Warhol, executed by Craig Braun (who also created School's Out (Alice Cooper), Big Bambu (Cheech and Chong) and the box for the 1972 orchestral version of Tommy (The Who))
Curved Air - UK Rainbow Cover Curved Air Second Album (UK) 1971.09 A simple but effective die-cut cover, the rainbow on the front cover is made from layered die cut folds.
St Cleve Chronicle - aka Jethro Tull Thick as a Brick Jethro Tull Thick as a Brick 1972.03 A series of loosely related articles presented as a local rag. The lyrics are well disguished as just another mindless article.
Brain Salad Surgery - Designed Emerson, Lake & Palmer Brain Salad Surgery 1973.11 Welcome to the machine... Designed with little regard for the protection of the disc and maximum gimmick effect.
Santana Lotus front cover with obi strip Santana Lotus 1974.05 Open the gatefold, open the left side out and out and out and out, ditto the right side.
