My favorite so far is your Thin Lizzy jacket.. and Joni's watercolor on her album ! Nice vid, Dale😊 Rob is a good man. and always starts good threads, indeed !
Nice response Dale..Love Never For Ever, interesting to see that Tom Waits and the homage to In The Wee Small Hours, wasn't aware of that. Some lovely illustrated sleeves there. Was just thinking this morning, its' been a while since i've done a thread video, so may jump on board.
Excellent response Dale. Just love those Clay Pipe album covers (though don't own anything on the label (as yet)). Always loved that Jim Fitzpatrick cover for Thin Lizzy. Cheers... Pete
Thanks Pete, I listened to a podcast that Frances Castle did recently and discovered all of the artwork is 'digitally' painted - I now know why no original painting have come-up for sale...
Hi John - I only stumbled upon the connection after selecting the albums and then trying to find something about some of the artists I didn't know. I think he only ever did two covers - Axis and The Who Sell Out...
When I saw this thread, I thought to myself Dale will have some great album covers from your lesser known labels. You showed some excellent ones Dale. The Yardbirds album has always tickled me because I use to play with a Bass player for years whose name was Roger and he was indeed an Engineer by profession. It doesn’t take much to amuse me 😂 I didn’t know the Hendrix/ spitting Image connection. El Goodo looks and sounds interesting. Mike
Nice selection Dale I think I might do this thread, it’s a good one from Rob. Matt Berry is sickeningly talented isn’t he? What we do in the shadows might be my favourite tv show. I have a few of his albums (but not the one you showed) including his TV Themes album, which is a real trip down memory lane for people our sort of age isn’t it. Take care cheers
Just watched your response of nice blues covers...Yes Matt Berry is too talented, TV Themes is really enjoyable. I've dabbled with What we do in the Shadows and enjoyed what I saw - I really should watch more...cheers Dale
Hey! I'd never noticed the similarity between the covers of Waits' The Heart of Saturday Night and Sinatra's In The Wee Small Hours. I must be blind! My Mum had an illustrated story book called Ratsmagic, which had freaky odd artwork by an artist called Wayne Anderson. Years later when I saw the cover to Kate Bush's Never For Ever, I assumed it was by the same artist, as its style was so similar. But no, it's not the same artist. Ratsmagic was first published in 1976. I'd be surprised if Nick Price hadn't seen the book. Cheers - Hedley
Hi Hedley - not aware of Wayne Anderson but will do a search as love the artwork on the album...although my beloved Kate wouldn't get involved in anything underhand...
@@gatefold33 Sorry, I didn't mean to besmirch the saintly Bush. I certainly don't want to anger her crowd, they're even more rabidly cuckoo than the average Prog Rock lunatic.
I need to try that Matt Berry one because out of sympathy because I'm not the insomniac rather my other half is. Also I'm looking for a nice copy of spitting image spit in your ear album i used to have it and know most of it off by heart. Hilarious (if totally dated) not so fussed about that Jimi Hendrix bloke one. All that repetitive hare hare nonsense.
I'm not sure the Matt Berry record does exactly what it says on the tin but it is quite mellow. I think he recorded or wrote it when he was suffering from insomnia...

Thanks JT, that Thin Lizzy cover is great and the start of several strong albums he worked-on for the band...
Nice showing of the Jimi LP and Tom Waits cover..

Hi Dale - Love the cover with the fox, but these are all ready great. I am so used to that Kate Bush cover, I kind of forgot how great it really is.
Thanks Brian - waiting to see your response now you have the contests covered...
Great response dale , you always go the extra mile . My favourite was the fox on the wall.. cheers dale 👍
I like to make things difficult...👍
Interesting angle to take on this thread. I’ve always liked Joni Mitchell’s cover designs.
Never knew that Spitting Image / Hendrix connection.

Hi Mike - I'm sure Roger loved the joke too...😊 El Good is worth a listen...cheers Dale
