How about these?

agreed, I do love the cover for his polygon window record surfing on sine waves though. also on a beach tip add on the beach by neil young. james brown in the jungle groove (no beach involved here), end hits by fugazi (not a great record at all but a truly beautiful cover I'm sure you'll all agree), outkast stankonia, bitches brew is obvs' amazing and all those kitschy easy listening covers from oxfam. virtually every jazz record ever has an amazing cover and makes most rock iconography look silly and dully unimaginative (although i do love the uk cover of the first strokes album), seripop are really great though and must be the exceptions that prove the rule.
I can't face trying to dredge up examples to post here, sorry.

oh my god someone just posted the polygon window cover up as i was writing my post!!! oooohhhweee (am i the only one that thinks that spooky?)

It's not an album cover but the sleeve for their 'Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now', single. Still absolutely brilliant though.

He he, I was reading your mind. The art inside the albums was also good, really liked the early Warp covers by the Designers Republic.

This has to be one of my favourite album covers of all time as well as one of my favourite albums of all time. Swish.



Another LP I'm proud to have in my collection. Beautiful photo. It can't really be appreciated fully at this size, and the colours are a bit off on this scan. Oh well.



Mmm-mmm.

That's a great cover!

It's a guy in a hood

It's Paul Simon in a hood, and you'd do well to listen to that album.

yeah, powerful photograph
