Inside the Gatefold: Search the Album Art in There

Don't think I'll try to upload the image but the inside pic on Black Man's Burdon had me listening to that record quite a few times at Bill Baer's in Orlando back in the day :)

Can't find a decent image of the Space Ritual cover in its six panel glory.

(And Right-click + "View Image" can be your best friend on this thread.)

Hawkwind's Space Ritual pwnz lock thread

also every Funkadelic Pedro Bell sleeve

I can't believe I've never seen the inside of the Hotel California sleeve. That is actually kind of cool.

Yeah, I don't think I'd seen that one til a few months ago. The inner sleeve has some clip art bellboys on it as well.

The one for The Long Run is kinda funny in that "only one of us is ready for the 80s" way.

^^^holy shit what album is that?

Ohio Players something or other.

I can't find it online, but the inside cover of For Your Pleasure where they're all playing guitars.

It was the first time I ever saw a picture of glam-era Eno, and I was like, Daaammmn, so that's who produced The Joshua Tree?

all the Ohio Players sleeves are like that. That one is Honey, I believe.

Yeah that's Honey.

what a sticky mess!

You know you're old when the ZZ Top cover is still more appealing.

For real...my eyes just move past the honey-drenched naked woman and focus on the delicious-looking TexMex.

haha yeah, pp. plus, ai lien likes to rib me about all the records i get with "dirty" covers. i'm all "it's funk, babe. that's how you know it's gonna be funky as shit."

Surely it has to be that maze-puzzle thing from TSMR

"Houses Of The Holy". Led Zep held up the record's release by a full YEAR, until they got the colour separation just right. That's integrity.

hatfield and the north:

Wish I could find an image of Grand Funk's Mark, Don & Mel gatefold - it consists of nothing but reproductions of the many bad reviews they'd received during their 3-year history.

Tres Hombres still owns this thread

That Zoso's pretty fucking cool

I wouldn't mind hanging out in the seedy strip club/bordello promoted by Pulp's This is Hardcore..

I was going to suggest that 10cc one, but somebody beat me to it. So instead:

^^^I recognise that. T Dream?

I can't find a picture of the inside of the vinyl version of the Beasties Boys To the 5 Boroughs, it's not as good as the CD version but it's still really nice, sadly it costs a lot of money now.

Oh, it was the Impulse pressing of Sun Ra's The Magic City.

The one that wk re-posted is Frank Sidebottom, who was sort of a novelty act from the north of England.

In fact, the source of the Hawkwind was hardformat which has a nice selection of Barney Bubbles' album art.

ah, thanks. I take it not worth listening to?

xpost Gawd. Beautiful simplicity. Then when you put the record on...FIRE!

Not really my sort of thing and I'm doubtful that his humour travels well, but who knows?

I've referenced the War album that ellaguru noted upthread many times here at ILM. I rank the Tres Hombres as tops, but Black Man's Burdon certainly needs to be visually represented in this thread.

http://pics.livejournal.com/ban4a/pic/002bh28a

This is the outside of that ABBA one. The usual version has the park bench image on the outside and a vertical shot of them on the inside. The Swedish edition looks like this:

Man I LOVE that cover all around. Bought it for my ex because she's into that kind of ridiculousness, wish I had kept it.

xgau's classic review of that Burdon & War lp, which needs to be in this thread for obvs. reasons:

The Black Man's Burdon [MGM, 1971]
On the front cover of this album is a black man in silhouette. On the back cover Eric, looking paunchy, rests his head in the crotch of a black woman straddled above him. He also holds her ankles. Inside the jacket seven men, presumably the band, occupy the background of a full-length photo of a grassy field. Six of the men are black; five are bare-chested. In the foreground recline two naked blondes who obviously belong in a centerfold. The left hand of one is thrown back to reveal a clean-shaven and possibly airbrushed underarm, so that her right does not quite conceal her pubic hair. Her companion hides her sex with both hands. The only man who is standing appears to be walking toward the women. He has removed the belt from his pants. D+

I've always viewed the "Burdon" spread as allegory - the music says it's so. But be damned, white-man, reparations are-a-coming!

there's an mc5 lp (back in the usa, I think ) with a really awesome b&w shirtless group photo on the inner gatefold.

oh I see it's already been posted! Great thread
