New York is my favourite American city and I do love vinyl, so this Supertramp LP cover is simply wonderful. It won best album packaging in 1980.
I have to agree with whomever first noticed it, if you look at the cover in reserve above the Twin Towers the U and P would look like 9/11.
I always believed 'Brokeback Mountain' should have won Best Picture in 2006. Did it lose because it was a film about a gay couple?
Imagine my surprise when I bought a Gary Copper film called 'Fighting Caravans'. Cooper's character is raised by two men and when he wishes to marry, his two 'companions' (as the credits list them) bicker if the young lady is good enough for their boy. It was made in 1931 which was pre Hays Code.
I remember when black people were mocked for having full lips. Now women spend thousands attempting to have them. This album cover captures the true beauty of our full red lips X three.
Another one of my favourite album covers.
I think vinyl LP / album covers were works of art. This is one of my favourites.
