Apparently, Roxy Music or Brian Ferry at least asked two German fans to pose for the album cover above. This album cover was not allowed to be sold in USA and was sold showing just the foliage with no girls on it!
You beat me there only once.Yeah...I know three times lol
Never understood that cover as it is not a full house.

I had considered this distinction after viewing some rather bland album covers in this post. I have come to the conclusion that album cover art and the music contained within are for ever linked together, inseparable. When I think of Abby Road, I both hear the music and see the album cover art in my mind.But this thread is about album covers not the band or music right?
I think the introduction of cds killed some of the art. LPs were, by and large, designed to draw the audience in. The advert to pick it up. That, and something to roll a joint on back in the day. CDs were less visually appealing.I had considered this distinction after viewing some rather bland album covers in this post.

I can't image a more bland album cover than The Beatles (White Album) and I do have a difficult time thinking of it as art. But it is a matter of perception, can you focus your hearing on the spaces between the notes or ignore the leaves and see through the tree?
Great LP cover for your profile pic btw!I had considered this distinction after viewing some rather bland album covers in this post.
