We all have our favourite Album Covers imprinted on our brains, but it seems a lot of the ones burned into my mind are by the same designers.
Which is Hipgnosis!
Blimey, looking through their catalogue, it's a wonder anyone else got a look in during that period.
They really produced some memorable stuff.
A few of my faves are:
Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel (The Car)
Sabbath - Technical Ecstasy
Scorpions - Lovedrive
Most of them are pure class to be honest.
One of my other favourite Album Covers is not by Hipgnosis, which is the album art to XTC - Drums and Wires, there are many more faves of mine that are unknown to me too.
Let's have a massive knowledge outpouring of Album Artwork designers, what/who were the other prolific designers, any era. It must be a pet subject to many of you.
PS: Derek Riggs goes without saying.
:-D
