OGTEleven Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) Do you have a favorite album cover? It doesn't have to be from an album or group you like, it's all about the cover. Mine is below. I like the album itself too. A cool thing about it is Winwood played every bit of music on it and pieced them all together. It's the definition of a studio album. There isn't a single backup musician. I believe he wrote all the songs as well. Edited April 23, 2021 by OGTEleven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinceThe70s Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I'm not one for favorites when there are so many to choose from but this one popped into my mind first 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I always thought this was a cool piece of graphic design (still do!), but especially back when my 6 year old brain first saw it! I remember being mesmerized by this and just staring at it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4_kidd_4 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I just recently learned some of the cover to Rush’s ‘A Farewell To Kings’ was shot in Buffalo. But I also knew their cover to “Exit Stage Left” the crowd is from The Aud. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 This one's a classic. Simple, beautiful. The words spell out American Beauty (the album's name), but also spell out American Reality. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacka Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) The Poco album (Legend) with the line drawing of the horse and Americaa's Greatest Hits (also a drawing) were done by the late Phil Hartman. He was a graphic designer before trying comedy. Edited April 24, 2021 by Wacka 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although she wouldn't be a member until the next album, Christine McVie did the artwork for this cover: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
