soulpope Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) Joel Vandroogenbroeck "Biomechanoid" (Couloursound Library) 1981 capitalising on the success of Ridley Scott’s "Alien" film "Biomechanoid" was released featuring cover art commissioned by swiss Surrealist HR Giger (titled Biomechanoid 75) – whose horrific Necronom IV lithograph served as the basis for the design of "Alien".

A Lark Ascending Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) And many other Gong records! Not sure if this is surreal or just fantasy (or Tolkeinian!): Another from my youth. Very much from the early days of Monty Python: I once leant that to a friend. His dad caught sight of it and immediately demanded he return it! Fortunately, my parents never noticed my record covers. And one from a man who's never been scared to torpedo his career with bad record covers: Edited May 27, 2014 by A Lark Ascending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Not sure if this is surreal. cartoon art or pop art: One of my earliest records. A rock budget record from a time where there were very few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 I believe this was based on a well-regarded French Surrealist book's cover design (ca. 1940s), which I recently saw in a personal library. Looking back now it seems like the Lacy jacket just straightened out the letters' placement. There is definitely something of a Surrealist element in a lot of those early Hat Hut cover designs, which was lost when they went to ECM-style photographs for their CD art.
