Beautiful yet lesser known Prog Rock album covers/gatefolds

I've noticed that prog has had some of the most creative and beautiful album covers I've ever seen especially in 70's. I love the artwork which is usually inspired by fantasy / space themes, seen tons of them especially on the Vertigo label.

I'd love to see some of your favourite prog album covers apart from the obvious ones like Yes, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Genesis etc.

 

Earth & Fire - Atlantis

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

Steve Hackett - Voyage of The Acolyte (gatefold)

 

Badger - One Live Badger

 

Wow, now that's beautiful.

 

Social Tension - Macbethia

 

Always loved this cover.

 

Ethos - Ardour

 

Man - Be Good To Yourself At Least Once A Day

 

I've listened to this album many times yet never knew that it had such a brilliant trifold sleeve. Definitely need to find a vinyl copy.

 

Espirutu - Crisalida

 

I too immediately thought of that one! The original UK Lp version is so gorgeous... As are so many other ones (prog, but also the progressive folk genre) from that era in the UK, with lots of finesse in the hues and textures.

 

Black Widow Sacrifice (1970)

 

HEaven: Brass Rock 1 (1971)

This is actually from a forum member here, I believe. PIctures of these rarer albums are really hard to come by, so much for everything being on the internet.

 

Man, there are so many! I'm posting them as I remember them.

Quella Vecchia Locanda - s/t
