Best looking CD/LP artwork

[Todd]

I have no interest in the disc, but I find the cover striking.

Well, misleading, if the music has to do with trumpet, piano and string concertos.
I find it weird, anyway.

I think it says "this album cover sponsored by the Royal Society for the Promotion of Anorexia" but hard to make out the small print

[Sergeant Rock]

That is a gorgeous cover.

This is not one of the best looking covers I've seen, but it is much further from being one of the worst looking covers.  I suppose it's one of the more eye-catching, and it made me stop to look and consider the disc.  I'll probably pass, but it grabbed almost a solid minute of viewing time.

The LP issue of Mehta's recording of Also Sprach Zarathustra was very striking. I don't have the LP any more but here is a link -

I was told many years ago that the cover won an award (no idea what) and it was the first time it had gone to a classical cover.

Bordering on gaudy, but someone put a lot of time and effort into this, unlike so many...

[geralmar]

It would be more atmospheric without the telephone pole.

[JBS]

How about duelling DeLarrochas?

Ekmeles: A Howl, That Was Also a Prayer (New Focus Recordings)

A stunning image for an equally stunning debut by this brilliant 6-member vocal group.

[Mapman]

I just got this CD, and I think it belongs here.

Can't say it's great, but the juxtaposition of fairly tasteful abstract art and off-color title (the German part; the band's name also stretches the bounds of good taste) is funny.

Well, the band's name is quite at odds with the album title: the former suggests outrageousness, the latter bourgeois complacency.
