    Sandy Denny´s The Northstar Grassman and The Ravens (UK Island Sept. 1971)

    Owned it and loved it and played it for decades, looking at the cover--and always feeling a special affinity for this record and cover--my fave Sandy Denny Lp.

    Then one day I noted the time on the clock: 5:37. The EXACT time I was born!

    I was told about this but I don’t own the album now so I don’t know if it’s an internet hoax.

    I did own it for a while and never noticed

    The front cover fold out with the symmetrical cliffs/suns/warriors actually forms a helmeted face. I must have been too busy looking at the shield on the reverse!

    Hidden, though I still don’t know what it is: What does Joni Mitchell have in her mouth on the cover of Blue?

    Removing the tittle from the top of the "i" makes it look like the "f" word.

    Speaking of The Beatles ( and aren't we always ? ).....
    When Badfinger's ' No Dice ' album was released there was a big ad for it in Rolling Stone which was the full album cover picture of the woman.
    On her thighs were the faces of the four Beatles.
    This wasn't a case of imagination or seeing something that wasn't there. The faces were clearly visible.

    I can see that removing the i dot turns the "ri" into an u , but the T still remains a T , not an F, or ???

    I never saw the ear on the cover of Meddle after owning the record for decades. However, after looking at my original copy again, its easy to see why I never noticed it - its not visible at all.

    And just for reference, the more recent remaster cover:
