Way cool inside gatefolds

Many a seed has rolled off of this one.

 

I remember looking through this and the accompanying booklet when I was a kid and figuring out that none of their guitars were plugged in. The whole thing was staged for a photo shoot! That was the day my innocence died.

 

the tri-fold of Woodstock is impressive...........

 

Wings Over America

 

The gatefold of the Damned's "Anything" also had a popup section.

I first saw this gatefold when I was 11/12. It knocked me out. Thinking how seeing a band in concert, on stage like that. Would be cooler than kool aid. But I look at it now & think it is all one big mock up.

 

Class.

 

I don't care, that's still one of the most amazing gatefolds ever!

 

The gatefold of Blue Cheer's InsideOutside is pretty cool. The band on stage with the Marshall stacks behind them.

 

Well, yeh. It is an amazing picture. You are right. I didnt mean to say it was trash. Only that it looked like a mock up.

 

Class.

 

The Beach Boys - 20/20:

 

Of course, there's also...

Great link. I had no idea of the rumor about Honey's model.

 

I love these "stage" inner gatefolds. This one from BOC's On Your Feet or On Your Knees always cracks me up:

I like the inner sleeve to Tales From Topographic Oceans. I think Steve Howe took some of the nature photos that were included.
