    Damn my memory. Thought I looked at every post and didn't see it.

    One of my favorite album covers so I don't mind repeating it if it was.;)

    Rather than a famous work of art, how about an album cover by a famous artist.

    The Live Adventures of Mike Bloomfield & Al Kooper,
    a double set released in 1969.

    Norman Rockwell | The Blues Singers, 1968

    [​IMG]

    Photographed with Norman Rockwell are Mike Bloomfield, a revered blues and rock guitarist, and Bloomfield’s equally legendary musical compadre Al Kooper, the guy who played the organ part on Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone.”

    Kooper says it was his idea. Watching the New York Jets play the Denver Broncos one Sunday afternoon in 1968, a funny notion popped into his head. Yes, he was a long-haired rock musician with naughty proclivities and druggy acquaintances, but here he was, passing his time watching a pro-football game like any other normal American guy. The scene, he thought, was “like a Norman Rockwell painting.” And so it transpired that Kooper and Bloomfield found themselves petitioning CBS Records, their label, to get the 74-year-old artist to paint their portrait for the cover of their live album.

    Erratum: Norman Rockwell Actually Did Rock Well

    Almost bought a painting by him before at auction but lost. Maybe someday soon I'll get one.

    That isn't the proper Innuendo cover (nor Grandville's work). Someone's attempted to draw it.

    Here... This is the real thing...

    Thanks for putting this right - I just happened to come across these pictures and since I'm not a Queen fan I didn't recognize it wasn't the original cover art
