Album Artwork...again?

<< < (4/4)

Fortnight:
I was at Amoeba rooting around the three buck CDs and bought an album by a band called The Konks just because I was so taken with the album cover. I thought the band itself would most likely turn out to be so-so, but actually I like it so much I'm going to re-purchase a real copy.

Don't ignore the music that yells out "Take A Chance On Me!"

Inlander:
What confuses me is when an album has different cover art in different countries.  For instance, I'm led to believe that a certain well-known indie album looks like this in most countries:



But in Australia it looks like this:



PUZZLING!

Kai:
I saw the second cover of it when I was looking through CDs earlier today and was kind of perplexed for half a second. I couldn't remember why it perplexed me until now.

*Sights*:
I have the second version of those. I thought the first cover was supposed to be more common, but i can't find it anywhere. Also weird: i just bought Bee Hives, but i can't, for the love of god, find Feel Good Lost in this forsaken land.

Thrillho:

--- Quote from: KharBevNor ---Actually, that's a point I can't believe I didn't make. The album art for stuff on Vinyl is always approximately 200,000 times better than it is for the stuff on CD.

My dad owns all of the classic Yes and Pink Floyd albums bar one or two. No matter your opinion on prog rock, you cannot argue that they are fucking artistic masterstrokes. I'm sure you wouldn't have to walk very far in here to find someone who considers Gerald Scarfes album art to be far, far better than the actual contents of The Wall.

Both Gerry Scarfe and Hipgnosis (sp?) are visionaries when it comes to album art. Almost all of the Floyd albums have great artwork.
