    It looks to me like this was put together from separate photo sessions (Lindsey at one location and Christine at another). And then Photoshopped.

    It's hopelessly derivative of Exile On Main Street, but I think this is a pretty good cover.
     
  5. and yesterday was 1997 or so.

    Absolutely. I was reading something I’d written in 1998 the other day and it’s impossible to believe it was 20 years ago.

    Travolta's "hair" looks like the buzz cut on the original GI Joe doll.

    OK, this one really is modern (2015).

    Attempted look "Bowie on mid 70s album cover"
    Achieved look "Kenneth Williams posing in leather jacket"

    Gaz what were you thinking of?

    Arrgh. There just HAVE to have been outtakes that were better than that.
     
  10. I can see it now, didn't think of it before.
    I was thinking I guess about the albums with polaroids, which this isn't but it's close...

    Three Chords Good is another terrible cover. I wonder if he has some family member design them on computer or something.

    His 1870's Confederate veteran as junkie photo doesn't really mesh with the outerspace background.

    I really want to defend Gamma Ray "Blast From the Past" artwork, because when I first bought it I thought it was cool, but looking at it here, it really is awful. I would like to see Derek Riggs give it a try with his paints or whatever he normally works with.

    The music is top notch, though!

    That looks like someone trying to do a 50's or 60's style jazz album cover and failing.

    My first thought was that guy who overacted so in Gimme Gimme Gimme!

    And of course, he did resemble Kenneth Williams a bit.
