I Posted something about Dave Hill (Guitarist with Slade) a while back and any album cover he appers on just looks a bit funny, i think it's the fringe that does it, have you got any others??

Can't beat prog rock. Although I was never much of a fan of Roger Dean's work for "Yes", they soon proved they were worse off without him.

Check out the cover sleeve for "Going for the One":


Great tracks, but a total arse of an arty cover. In my day, this album was universally known as "Going for the Bum"

EDIT: If the host site shafts the pic. You'll have to click on this link:

Odd Confused . No problems here, although it's probably stored in my temp. I'll come out and back in, see if that makes a diff. 'Tis a funny cover, for sure.

Here's another site-link:
