In classical music I just found the original cover for an album I have on CD.

I wonder if anyone bought it expecting psychedelic trippiness like this?

Each is groovy in it’s own way, I enjoy them both.

Pretty evocative. Notice the tangled wool on the chair and ball on floor.

That is a great cover indeed. Visually calm* and kinetic** at the same time! Text font is simple and functional, althou works well only for LP as some ot the text is too small for CD cover.

* Calm color scheme (green/blue, white and black) + shallow depth of field makes this happen.
** The composition where the bird struggles to fit into the cover square is a stroke of genius hinting the movement and difficulty to get the bird into the "shot."

The Mahler is appropriately fantastic but I don't think much of the Schutz

That's OK. it isn't great art. But definitely well made...I grew up with that "style" - Polish art posters & Milton Glaser - and still love the craft: ink, pen, water colours, colour pencils.

Indeed, very evocative.

To me, gives me a mixed sensation of quiet serenity, solitude and disturbance.

I looked up "Fall River legend" ... and was in for quite a surprise: Lizzie Borden!

So, we'd rather expect bloody axes and hatchets in splitted skulls....on that LP cover. The shadow of the noose is puzzling, as is the wool on the rocking chair..... !

I see what you mean. I can only think the noose and tangled wool are symbolic. The cover design is by George Maas, I cannot find any information on him.

Except too bad about the telephone pole.

I can hardly believe that this is the Alhambra or some building in Cordoba!! If so, it still looks like some dark and cold building on the Rhine or the Danube... Vampires come to mind and creepy donjons.
Where are the perfumed flowers, the palm trees, cypresses, marble fountains & decorations?.
