Good call Acéphale



This is my first contribution; A few words on this perfect offering from Peter Saville, as seen here as a photo this is a very striking image (alas imho widely overused these days).
But the original lp with the textured finish is one of the all time greats.

Again cracking image, but have to mention the design of the whole book..
Sorry! This image is on the slipcase, housed inside is the book. Which is made from a single sheet of cardboard that is folded in a concertina type fashion with images printed on both sides. The book is Avedon's portraits.

Probably the most iconic cover in my mind:

[DRRRK]

Spiritualized - Lazer Guided Melodies


PIL - Metal Box


Turn Pale - Kill The Lights


Ride - Nowhere
