Can someone also show the Xenakis Orchestral Works Vol.4 (Timpani), where it looks like his hair's on fire?


Also, how bout them thar Segerstam pics? Anyone?



Personally, being vain, I gotta dig some of those classic covers that are floating through my head right now. How bout Lenny trying to look suave with that closeup of his craterous, pock marked face,... looking like a bad Richard Burton (haha, that's a... oh, what do you call it?).


Was that Babbitt cover shown yet? 'The One'? :o :o The Bridge label has a cache of some of the worst covers ever.

"Jeffrey! What the hell did you eat for lunch?"  :'(

The above reminded me of this cover with Uchida:



"Pierre!  I think they're looking at us!"

"Oui!  They want to see me!  Get out of the way!"

Ask and ye shall receive!



Actually, I think his hair is on fire..and since he is Xenakis,  he likes it that way!

since I succeded with the Eleanor Rigby reference in another thread, this is more like the Stones' Spider to the Fly; "step right ahead and you're dead".

Looks like a rejected cover shot for a Hee Haw album!

Looks more like he's underwater, as if some angry traditionalist threw him in the Aegean.
