I used to have a t-shirt with that artwork on it. I was a huge fan of the band. The graphic is IIRC computer generated -- no mean feat back in the day.

One of the greatest album covers ever. The zipper was functional. Another reason that CD cover art is, by definition, a pale imitation.

I guess now would be a bad time to mention that I bought albums for the music, not the cover art.

These are albums I bought in the early 70s, just because of the cool cover art. The group, Osibisa, was sort of a African-prog rock-jazz thing. Their obscurity made them even cooler...

This was several years later. Yep, same story. Cool Roger Dean cover, so I took a chance...

Another favorite -- an actual 16 mm film canister embossed with the band's logo. From 1979.

PiL was John Lydon's (aka Johnny Rotten) post-Sex Pistols, post-punk band. The album consisted of three 12" 45 rpm discs. Pretty outrageous.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011
