Led Zeppelin album Houses of the Holy, photoes of kids crawling on the Giant's Causeway and Dunluce Castle, N. Ireland which are close to where I grew up. At 16 it was a shock to realise the god's (or their photographer) had walked on my boring little corner of the universe.
Ive always liked Dark thrones Earlier covers - just because they are so different to anyoneone elses and perfectly capture the atmosphere of the music.
Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson (left a very impressionable effect).
The reason Floyd did well, was that they were one of ther first to realise that covers sold the record inside, as all their fans were tooo spaced out to open the sleeve.
Beck - Odelay Crazy Penis - A Nice Hot Bath With... Leftfield - Rhythm & Stealth Massive Attack - Mezzanine Primus - Sailing The Seas Of Cheese The Clash - London Calling
"It's like black leather". "How much more Black could this be?...None, none more black" ------------------------------ IAN: ...uh, we feel, I mean, we feel and it seems to be facts that, uh...the company is rather down on the cover. Is that the case?
BOBBI: Yes.
IAN: You can give it to me straight, you know.
BOBBI: Listen umm... they don't like the cover, they don't like the cover.
IAN: Uh huh, well that is certainly straight.
BOBBI: They find it very offensive and very sexist.
IAN: Well what exactly...do you find offensive, I mean, what's offensive?
BOBBI: IAN, you put a greased naked woman...
IAN: Yes...
BOBBI: ..on all fours...
IAN: Yes.
BOBBI: ...with a dog collar around her neck...
IAN: ...with a dog collar...
BOBBI: ...and a leash...
IAN: ...and a leash...
BOBBI: ...and a man's arm extended out up to here holding on to the leash and pushing a black glove in her face to sniff it. You don't find that offensive, you don't find that sexist?
IAN: No I don't, this is 1982, BOBBI, come on.
BOBBI: That's right it's 1982 get out of the 60's we don't have this mentality any more.
IAN: Well you shoulda seen the cover they wanted to do. It wasn't a glove believe me.
