I have been looking for some album covers that I like the look of to put on my wall. Now I am not going down the Dark side of the Moon and Sargeant Peppers route but just things that I like the look of. some examples I have gone for are Keanes Under the Iron Sea, OMD's Dazzle Ships and Cryptograms, Deerhunter. So does anyone have any nice Album covers in mind I can add to my collage. The music on the record doesnt really matter, its the covers I'm interested in!
Who or what is Sargeant Peppers? Suggest more research needed!
What will be the size of a single cover on your wall? How will the wall look like? Are you thinking about a collage like a bigger picture out of many small ones? Are you going to print each cover and than glueing them to the wall?
Some lables like ECM have a nice corporate design ...

I vote for the Hermit (Gatefold cover in Led Leppelin IV).
Vinyl records, cassettes, open reel, valve amplifiers and film photography.
Nice choice Soren
When I was young and had no taste (as opposed to now, when I am old and have not taste) this was one of my favourite album covers
(I think I was "sixteen going on seventeen" as the time, and because of Government censorship my LP had a a black bikini printed over the top of the picture!)
((I also particularly liked the cover song))
BeoNut since '75
Elephant: you would like my Roger Waters "Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking" cover.
I did this exact project before I got married: 2 rows of 3 album covers in a 36" x 24" "poster frame." I used:
Sex Pistols "Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols"
Rolling Stones "Black and Blue"
The Clash "London Calling"
U2 "War"
J. Geils Band "Love Stinks"
Public Image Limited "Album"
The Beatles "Revolver," Pink Floyd's "Animals" and "Wish You Were Here," Rolling Stones "Tattoo You," "Undercover," "Some Girls," "Let It Bleed," Cream's "Disraeli Gears," the list could be endless.

know what you mean
perhaps we should start a thread about hitchhiking adventures
sadly (or safely, thank goodness) I had no adventures ... just nice people who helped me out

Tut, tut - ye of little taste! Not only did this have better music, but -
Ban boring signatures!

For some strange reason I am thinking of the English saying about birds and bushes

Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland
(but I suppose there was another, quite bland version for the more innocent markets.)

There ALWAYS is a wikipedia article on everything and anything

Puncher: good one. I don't have that one, but I do have the Jerry Hall as mermaid "Siren." That's a good cover, too, with very low WAF.
Anything by the Nolans or Val Doonican.
you could always make your own art using album covers

Emerson, Lake and Palmer: Brain Salad Surgery. Album cover by H.R.Giger, and decidedly odd.
Return to Forever: Romantic Warrior, also a great cover.

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus.
