Album covers (and inserts) with little illustrations based on all the song titles

The inner sleeve and booklet have more, but struggling to find pics. Coincidentally one of the worst records I was ever bought.

Damn, I should have remembered the Dookie illustrations...used to read along to the lyrics in the cassette foldout

A different character for each song (album art differs slightly)

Friends of mine recently released this:

Which reminds me a little of the Drifters album in the OP.

how about song titles based on all the little illustrations included on the inserts:

Dan, your friend's album cover is great!

The 2004 Smile gatefold is one of these; the only image I can find is hueg so just linking it here.

Supposedly this album, "Paranoia Picknick" by Ernst Schultz, fits the bill, though as all the lyrics are in German I couldn't say for sure:

The inner sleeve/lyric sheet of Todd Rundgren's 'A Wizard/A True Star'.

The only site where I can find pics won't allow direct linking to images but you can check them out here:
http://www.45worlds.com/vinyl/album/br2133

It's a huge photo and a bit NSFW, so I'll only link to it, but the booklet for Ghost's Infestissumam seems to fit the bill.

Related: The song titles appear as headlines on the cover of Heartattack and Vine, with the lyrics making up the stories.

Grimes did this for Art Angels:

Fila Brazillia's Power Clown has a basic, wordless but good comic strip for each track in the inlay drawn by one of the duo - doesn't seem to be online tho.

The Raven and La Folie by The Stranglers both have illustrations for each song on the inner sleeve.

Gun Club Fire Of love back sleeve

http://www.tenhomaisdiscosqueamigos.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/The-Rise-and-Fall.jpg

seem the remember that the band dressed as the main character from each song ..

back row from left: Carl = Mr. Speaker (Gets the Word), Mike = That Face, Bedders = Calling Cards, Lee = ???

front row from left: Suggs = New Delhi, Woody = ???, Chris = the Dad from Our House, maybe?

I'm assuming that the photo is taken on Primrose Hill, so that's another song covered

Woody's newspaper says "Sunday" on the front, so I guess he's meant to be Sunday Morning (also the lyric about "glass of fizzy water helps to start the day")?

The Temptations - Greatest Hits II. Kind of a sad example of the form - feels like SOMEONE had faith in the big letters to convey the idea, but someone else insisted on the band/title being repeated at the top with a group photo so small it can't satisfy any fan, in the process shortchanging the main concept.

lol ditto

The booklet for Neko Case’s Fox Confessor... does this.

Siamese Dream (this may be covered by an “etc.” upthread)

(We are counting CD booklets where each song title gets a page/picture of its own, yeah?)

Case by case basis imho - I feel like with a lot of those the images are so abstract or vibe-oriented that they don't quite count as "illustrations" if you catch my meaning. Some pinch of literalism (bordering on the ridiculous) is essential.

At least some of of the ones in Superunknown clearly count for example - "Let Me Drown" shows a pool, "Head Down" is a photo of a fetus with its head towards the bottom of the page, etc.

Been mentioned?

Had seen this cover for years, but it wasn't until this weekend that I actually looked hard at an LP copy and saw that it fits the criteria.

^^The Hollies' Greatest Hits, in case the link breaks.

Smashing Pumpkins must have the greatest batting average for this category wouldn’t they? Just look at the Siamese Dream through Machina run.

I know it isn't precisely what is being asked for, but I always liked all the different photos/images in the Superunknown liner notes for each song's lyrics.

yeah ditto. i think that one probably counts - "let me drown" has, like, a picture of a pool that you could imagine someone drowning in, iirc.

oh wait lol i already posted about that a year ago

Not sure any of it was included in the original album packaging, but Peter Gabriel’s Us album had a set of art pieces inspired by each song that were used on posters etc

https://petergabriel.bandcamp.com/merch/art-from-us-catalogue

The gatefold of Runt: The Ballad of Todd Rundgren has little photos illustrating each song, taken by Ron Mael of Sparks!

Rod Stewart's Foot Loose And Fancy Free came with a big booklet with illustrations for each track. Viewable here

Lou Reed's Berlin also came with a booklet with photos for each song, viewable here

Future Bible Heroes – Memories Of Love booklet has a puzzle for every song.

Great additions. The Elsa Lanchester one is quietly very strange.

The Madness by The Madness #onethread

The album's sleeve was designed by Dave Gibbons and Rian Hughes.[10] On the back-sleeve each song listed was accompanied with a small drawing in similar style to the album's cover – resembling a face.[11]

huh, nobody said "rocket to russia" yet unless it was one of the numerous broken pic links

I did the sleevenotes for the The Madness reissue!

Cool!

niiice. that one's a legend in other threads for the title; had no idea the insides delivered as well. the "It's All Right" one has a hilarious desperation about it.

ELP's Tarkus has this in the gatefold, seven drawings which correspond to the different sections of the title track, although the lyrics don't really match the drawings. though they do match the titles of the section. it's kinda weird, I suspect there's no overarching concept just the band doing two things at once
