Album covers without the band name or album title on the front cover
 
Surprisingly, there aren't many. Not surprisingly, there are a few. Or something like that.

I could think of these:

John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band
Yoko Ono's Plastic Ono Band
Velvet Underground & Nico
Between the Buttons
Their Satanic Majesties Request
More Songs about Buildings and Food

What are some others?

What about the first Rolling Stones' album? I think it only had the label name on the cover.

the original release of everything went black didn't have black flag's name on it due to legal reasons.

Not mine (maybe because it's the remaster ? :confused:).

In the Wake of Poseidon and Larks' Tongues in Aspic also don't have any mention of the band name or album title on the cover as far as KC goes.

And I'm not sure why I thought of this one right away in particular, but The Flowers of Romance fits the bill too.

There's probably a fuckton more.
