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

(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

The Armagideon Times above puts me in mind of Lennon's Some Time in New York City

not sure if this one has been mentioned yet since so many broken links upthread:

The album's outside cover consists of the words 'King Crimson' spelled out in ornate medieval lettering, the word 'King' on the back cover and the word 'Crimson' on the front cover, with each letter incorporating one or two discrete images. These images in turn represent Sinfield's lyrics from the album – the images in the word 'King' representing the lyrics of the various sections and subsections of track 5, "Lizard"; while the images in the word 'Crimson' represent the lyrics of tracks 1–4. Whereas the images representing "Lizard" are medieval in content – depicting Prince Rupert, his environs (including a peacock), and the Battle of Glass Tears – the images representing the other four tracks juxtapose medieval and contemporary scenes. The image around the letter 'i' in 'Crimson', for example, depicts the Beatles, corresponding with their pseudonymous appearance in the lyrics to "Happy Family". Around the "n" on the front cover, there is a depiction of Rupert the Bear piloting a yellow aeroplane.

This seems to have disappeared to link rot upthread, so here it is again, sorry.

Genesis, A Trick of the Tail.
I'm not sure if all the songs are illustrated here, but all the illustrations are certainly taken from the lyrics on the album... the satyr from the title track, the old woman in the mirror from Ripples, the huntsman from Squonk, etc.

(wonder why "Amazing Grace" didn't get an illustration)

great selections, all

"Amazing Grace" is not listed on the label on most editions

The booklet for Taylor Swift’s Fearless: Platinum Edition features some amusingly cheesy (and, as they say, “yawnsomely literal”) photo tableaus illustrating many of the songs.

On the flip side, all of the song titles on Mike Watt's "hyphenated-man" are based on illustrations, specifically the creatures in Heironymous Bosch paintings, like "Arrow-Pierced-Egg-Man" and "Head-And-Feet-Only-Man."

Saint Etienne - Tales From Turnpike House
Booklet has little illustrations for each song

http://www.saintetiennedisco.com/full/tfth/b2cd/b2cd.html

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!
