ALbum, nads, ALbum........

 

[the record spot]

Hawkwind - Warrior On The Edge of Time (the original folded out into a shield IIRC)

Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (stark b&w imagery to the front, lengthy story in the middle, abstract inner sleeves)

Motorhead - Motorhead (iconic)

New Order - Blue Monday (12" floppy disk - every copy they sold lost them money)

Rush - Permanent Waves (different representations of waves on the album cover, oo there's clever!)

Cover wise, it's got to be Animals by Pink Floyd, but I love the inside of The Wall with its fantastic cartoons!

Clare Newsome:

Ah yes, a tasteful release and quite the classic cover I think...!

My favourite is King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King. Still scares me.
