Inspired by the thread below, what is your favourite album cover?
Now as dandy will remember, being not quite so ancient as I am but getting there, this was always more of an issue in the good old days of vinyl as when one bought an album it really felt like getting something nice to look at.
I think my favourite is The Top, not so great an album but lovely psychadelic art work and groovey writing font.

I definitely remember the days of vinyl, and you're right- the artwork was a big part of the whole feel created by the album!
anyway, tough call- they all fit the music so well. I think I'll have to go with the head on the door, because it's just so strange.

so, today, for the first time, i actually "saw" what is on the faith cover. it is now my favorite. i never noticed, until seeing the image on my computer, that it's like, a church, not some weird face thing. so, i change my vote to faith.

I love both of those covers (faith & 17 seconds), because they set the mood for the music so well...

but i liked the cover of the single "where the birds always sing"

come to think of it, i rather like all the WMS single covers, i just love those little people and things. i think mint car is my fav, although something about the 13th really gets me too. and, i love the galore cover. okay i'll stop now.

I like the new cover, too.
People keep telling me, "That looks like something a kid could draw," yet they don't believe that a bunch of kids actually did draw it all.
Everytime I carry that CD around with me, I get a bunch of comments, lol.

yeah, i dig the new cover (as my pic thingy testifies)
I think my favourite cover would be standing on a beach, it's just a very iconic sleeve... and the effect of the single slleves on the beach inside is very chilly too, I love it!
other favourites are letter to elise (in fact, all the wish singles, but not the album), head on the door and show...
