Day 15 – A song off an album that has brilliant cover art
Roger Dean and 70s Prog rock - a match made in heaven! Concept albums, gatefold sleeves, triple gatefold sleeves even. Brilliant! Probably my favourite cover art is from Fragile by Yes. The music on the album was a bit of a mixed bag but I love the cover art:
Here is a really interesting acoustic version (Jane: that is, an "unplugged" version!) of Roundabout from that album:Two backup choices would be Genesis - Selling England By The Pound
(where the cover art is the painting that inspired my favourite Genesis song) and Rush - 2112
(with the first appearance of the iconic red star logo).Glad the topic was "album art" because CDs are too small! Give me a 70s Prog gatefold sleeve any day.
