Why isn't that Marianne Faithfull album called Horses and High Heels and Seaside and Abundant Flowers?

Also, why does it say "Horses" when there clearly only one single horse? I mean, everything else is on the nose obvious, so that seems like a major fuck up.

You don't see the other horse drowning in the sea?
― Tuomas, Monday, 31 January 2011 07:30 (thirteen years ago) link
I think those are rocks. But I did just notice one in the vegetation.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 31 January 2011 07:38 (thirteen years ago) link
Several horses in the vegetation (well, two, possibly more) and one in the sea foam.

Sneaky damn horses.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 31 January 2011 08:31 (thirteen years ago) link
(Is the big cluster of pink/purple flowers on the right-hand side an upside horse?)
Is the album cover better or worse now that's been discovered to be a game of "find the horses"?
― Hipster Thermador (Paul in Santa Cruz), Monday, 31 January 2011 08:33 (thirteen years ago) link
Cloud horse!
― Hipster Thermador (Paul in Santa Cruz), Monday, 31 January 2011 08:34 (thirteen years ago) link
Ha, my previous post was meant to be joke, I hadn't noticed there actually are hidden horses in the pic.
― Tuomas, Monday, 31 January 2011 08:34 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, that kind of resembles yet ANOTHER horse.
Playing "find the horses" at least makes it remarkable, but I still don't know that it's very good.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 31 January 2011 08:35 (thirteen years ago) link
I really like that cover picture. Reminds me of young adult fiction books for horse fan girls. And I love how there's a horse for each element in the pic: plant horse, water horse, air horse... Though it should have a sand horse too to make it complete. (Unless the real horse walking in the sand counts as "sand horse"?)

SOme of that artist's other work is pretty O_O, don't want to sully this thread with it though. Apparently he did some cover art for Prince too, but I can't quite figure out what.

Well, at least we now know the name of that piece is "Seven Horses," so we just have to find them all.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 31 January 2011 09:34 (thirteen years ago) link
I've only got five, so I'm assuming that the last two were drowned.

I checked and the Prince thing turns out to be this:

^ original cover art for Around The World In A Day btw
Oh wow, I'm not sure if that's actually better or horribly worse than the picture they ended up using for ATWIAD.
― Tuomas, Monday, 31 January 2011 09:57 (thirteen years ago) link
Also, the actual album cover has pretty much all the same elements as Warren's version (which makes sense, since they images are based on the song titles and lyrics), but the bearded man hugging a tiger is missing. I wonder what happened with that?
― Tuomas, Monday, 31 January 2011 10:01 (thirteen years ago) link
any great artwork prince ever had was by accident, wasn't it?
― sammy bagels (a hoy hoy), Monday, 31 January 2011 10:04 (thirteen years ago) link
Is the tiger hugglez from one of the songs on the album?
― seminal fuiud (NickB), Monday, 31 January 2011 10:07 (thirteen years ago) link
my old roommate had the last trail of dead album & the artwork was really cool -- singer drew it by hand & it flowed all the way throughout the booklet iirc
the new one is weezer style trolling of course

Yeah I wasn't too impressed w/ that album overall but I think that's one of their, uh, better covers.

Love the Tim Hecker sleeve, really draws me in. Someone's put up a video montagey thing for 'The Piano Drop' on the YouTube which utilises similar (same source?) imagery.

Here's the real Panda Bear cover.

That cover is pretty great - I didn't know who it was at first but knew that they had to be from Michigan.

Not all that different from the Trail of Dead cover, actually.

Unlike that Trail of Dead cover, though, that's something I would probably at least pick up and look at if I browsing through old records in the store.
