Joe Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 A Reid Miles/Esmond Edwards classic cover... Same building, yes? Who do you think Joe's looking at? That lady, of course. Maybe they should have called Joe's debut WANDERING EYE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dolan Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Horrid album, but pretty cool cover, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 I've always liked this Paul Bacon design -- simple, sort of punning, and yet almost elegiac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dolan Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 (edited) I've gotta emphatically disagree with you, Scott. That one is horrible! Guy That's cool, Guy. I just think it's really freaky (and not in a good way). And that's why I like it. It seems a total antithesis to what Coltrane would have wanted. And for some bizarre reason, that makes it really interesting to me. Not to mention how it is almost completely unrelated, stylistically, to the music within. It looks more like something you'd find on a 80's Speed/Death metal album cover, not on a cover of a musician who was more about peace and enlightenment. And that completely fucked up juxtaposition will always win over a demented mind like mine. Either way, you can't argue against the overall artistic beauty of the drawing. Or, maybe you can............ Edited June 8, 2007 by Scott Dolan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTMX Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 That's the first album my father ever gave me! The second one was by the Ventures (Going to the Ventures' Dance Party!). Unfortunately, I was about 5 years old and spent as much time playing the records as I did rolling them down the driveway to see how far they could get before falling over.
