im not a big fan of beck, but you gotta admin this was a great damn srl-inspired cover, even though i only had the cd not the record if there ever was one

this simple cover i also love. the photo i believe is by robert mapplethorpe?

noisemachine beat me to the VU cover

oh! and this one! of course! it spins!

gmku · 11.15.2006, 12:31 AM

Oh, yeah... Horses. I love that cover, too. Yes, Mapplethorpe.

Cool. I like looking at similarities in covers. It's easy to see themes, similar designs, etc.

I have an old book called the Album Cover Book, published in the mid-70s. I wonder if there's been an update since, or something similar published more recently?

Savage Clone · 11.15.2006, 02:11 PM

There are new versions of that book.

I like this one, for the spinning moiré wheels on the front cover and inner gatefold. Superpsychedelic. One of my favorites in my collection.

"Soul Kiss" by Spectrum also has a great transparent gatefold sleeve with an integrated design that can be seen through the clear vinyl platter. It also was filled with clear and blue gel for the "psychedelic globule" effect. Mine (and everyone else I know who owns it as well) unfortunately sort of dried out over the years, but it still looks really cool. The CD package fared slightly better.

It takes me forever to fold them up the right way, so that the end result actually looks like Marc's face and not sorta-kinda-like-Marc's face.

sun city girl · 11.15.2006, 03:43 PM

i didn't know it was like that... would be supercool to have that vinyl, i have that on cd and it's great.

!@#$%! · 11.15.2006, 04:03 PM

- because Jesse Peretz is a great photographer.

- people falling to their deaths, kinda fits the album somehow.

- it's such a classic photo, she looks like she's really feeling the music.
