First of all, congratulations to Sean.

Second of all, Frizzelle’s post clued me in to just how pretty album covers can be— and particularly how pretty they look here on the Slog.

With a shout out to my older brother’s friend Cathy Reeves (my brother stole this album from her in the teenage 70s) here is my favorite album cover of all time:

Now, I love Deep Purple more, but let's get real - the album covers from other bands were cooler. Just think of a certain album with a song "When the Levee breaks, have no place to stay" and you know it's true.

I never thought about the cover too much, but it's sure one of the greatest heavy rock albums of all time (except to wish that it had a live shot of the band, I always liked to see the concert firepower).

Even the kids who play "Smells Like Teen Spirit" badly nowadays in guitar stores frequently still wind up playing "Smoke on the Water" right after...
