Agalloch - Marrow of the Spirit. Painted by Mark Thompson.

Maybe some day I will be able to afford one of his paintings. You can check his art here.

 

Buy one...get two free.

 

Type O Negative - Origin of the Feces (original cover) :P

I'd rather not post the picture, I don't know if it fits the rules but anyone can search for it. ;)

 

All of Roger Dean's covers in were very creative. I loved them in my youth.

 

I could pretty much cite all covers by Roger Dean and Hipgnosis inclusively.

 

Ah, but THIS is my favorite. Kids, it really was a complete newspaper, hilarious!

 

These are some favorite records, that happen to have covers I liked. Hopefully we have no Tipper Gore around these parts to be offended by any artwork.

For those of you that are too young - that sleeve is from Derek & The Dominos (1970) - I can still remember getting that album a few days before its release in the HMV record shop in Oxford Street and the smell (yes the smell !!) of the sleeve while I was travelling home on the open-top bus. Those were the days....

Exactly what I thought when I saw your post with the sleeve of Fragile by Yes.

And since Hipgnosis seem to be underrepresented so far...
