Band albums that only have one of the group on the cover

Phish Billy Breathes

 

That is Phil Alvin, lead singer for the Blasters.

 

Until 1999, no member of Big Country appeared on a studio album cover. All 4 appear on 1999's "Driving to Damascus", though.

1994's live "Without the Aid of a Safety Net" only featured Stuart Adamson, though:

 

In the US ELO's On The Third Day has a band shot, but The UK version only had Jeff

 

Herman's Hermits. "There's a Kind of Hush All Over The World" album only had Peter Noone, the lead singer.

 

Gary Lewis & The Playboys "Everybody Loves a Clown". Gary Lewis, the lead singer.

 

Most of the albums by Texas only have Sharleen Spiteri on the front

 

Associates

perhaps

 

Looks a lot like the makeup his dad would go on to wear in the most infamous unreleased movie of all time, The Day The Clown Cried.

 

Eurythmics:

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)


Touch


Be Yourself Tonight


Savage

 

One thing confirmed by this thread: if the band has an androgynous lead singer (Boy George, Annie Lennox, Adam Ant, Pete Burns, Robert Smith) chances are he or she will appear solo on the album covers.

 

Black Flag Damaged

 

I don't think the waiter is a member of Lindisfarne , also not sure about the Colosseum cover - which Colosseum member do you think it is ?

 

No, it doesn’t. Bowie was a solo artist except for his time with Tin Machine.

 

The Human League : Dare

 

This POPOL VUH “best of” CD.

(Florian Fricke)

 

It's Alan Hull on the Lindisfarne cover and Jon Hiseman on the Colosseum cover.

 

What albums can you think of with only one member of the band pictured on the sleeve?

Kinks - Sleepwalker

 

Haven't we just done this?
