I've looked at that album cover a THOUSAND times and never noticed...

I never noticed how different Eddie looks on Powerslave.

 

Nope...it was there when Lennon bought the house.

 

Ah ok just coincidence I guess, just like the LZ on the stairway thing

 

Rick Griffin was brilliant. Met him shortly before his death.

 

I can't really see "We ate the acid" - I can see the American beauty/reality ok but not this one

 

Not sure if this is true, but the guitar pictured on Nashville Skyline was supposedly given to him by George Harrison. Some folks even say that Bob, by tipping his hat, is saying "thanks" to George.

 

Yeah, I think you have to really want to see that.

 

Never noticed this one.

 

Man. How did THAT get beyond quality control?

 

Along with the recent Bernie Memes album cover thread this is another enjoyable jaunt through album covers and I've learned a lot of what I missed and never knew. Thanks to all the contributors.

 

I didn't own this album until about 15 years after its release. Saw it a million times in stores at the time -- and never once did I realize that the people on the cover are not Fleetwood Mac.

 

I had to learn that here, in one of @Parachute Woman s great FM album threads.

 

I did some searching, and way, way back in the day, I had actually done some Fleetwood Mac album threads as well -- apparently it was 2008 before I realized that about the cover photo!

FLEETWOOD MAC Album-By-Album Thread III (Buckingham, Nicks & beyond)

 

The negative space between Bob's right arm and his add looks like a "play" symbol (particularly if you look at a thumbshot of the cover). It means it was designed with portable digital players and streaming services in mind in 1969!

 

I have owned this album in various formats since the day it was released but never noticed the dog until quite recently!?

 

Twink, Think Pink. Oh, it's a bunch of trees, how nice.


Look again. He's in there but just really, really tiny.

 

This thread is music geekery at its best.

Love it.

 

Dont see the WE in there. A bit of a stretch.

edit.....Actually now i do. The lower part of the GR is a lower case W. And a lower case E is above and can be scene in the top part of the R.

 

Jeremy and the Satyrs - The more you look, the more you see. (But it's a cartoon, so artistic.)

 

10cc 'Original Soundtrack' had the upside down images of the 4 band members hidden to me for years...

 

A great story that graphic designer, Dean Torrence (he, of Jan & Dean fame) told me once, about the artwork he produced alongside Harry Nilsson ...
"Our most famous round of ‘tweaking’ was when we would subtly arrange the company logo. You have all probably seen the cute little black dog, Nipper, listening to an old Edison Gramophone. Well , one of our versions had the Gramophone over the top of Nipper’s head.The legal department didn’t catch the altered logo unit the second pressing of the record. Another version had Nipper’s paws over his ears. They caught that one. So the next version we just added a small puddle of pee under Nipper. They missed that one. The next one we used on ‘The Point’ album and the final logo tweaking was on ‘Nilsson Schmilsson’. We tried to sneak a dope smoking Nipper by them but they caught that one, but they wouldn’t tolerate it any longer and the company issued a memo that addressed the problem of ‘Logo Bastardisation”. It was to cease. They were so pleased that they had intercepted and stopped the little teeny dope smoking Nipper logo, so you can imagine how they felt when someone pointed out to them that in the picture of Harry on the front cover he is holding a hash pipe. Stop the presses! Oh ****, the record has already gone gold...”

 

No that's not it. The L is opposite the Z

 

Funny, I always found "UP" to be such a boring cover, but noticed the "hidden" a few weeks ago, but only after really reading the credits and the title of the original artwork cover image was given something like "the observer ...." I don't have it with me now and can't exactly remember, but that clued me in to watch the LP cover and ....Voila!!
