Album Covers created by famous artists!

[Late]

How about all the Marte Röling covers for Fontana. Or the covers that "Harvey" did for Savoy? Bill Hardman's Saying Something should have been titled "Coffee."

[B. Goren.]

Robert Crumb (who later created Fritz the Cat ).

[Cyril]

More Warhol

Karn Evil 9 rocks dude.

It rocks.

LOL. My problem wasn't with Karn 9 Evil...my problem was with any past member of Mr. Big which I think was one of the WORST bands in the history of the world.

More Giger.

I never heard Mr. Big. To me...Gilbert is a MIT guy (the Hollywood guitar school) who wrote an article for Guitar Player.

I think by the time Mr. Big happened, I wasn't listening to guitar rock any more.

Is Roger Dean famous for anything other than album covers?

If not......does he "count"?

I don't think Roger Dean counts...

The aforementioned Warhol Daphis et Chloe (Warhol did the booklet illustrations):

Gary Larsen

I was thinking of this one, too. The story I heard is that apparently Larsen is an amateur jazz guitarist and a a big Jim Hall fan. When the record company approached Larsen to do the cover, he said, "OK, my fee is one million dollars...OR...a private lesson with Jim Hall." Apparently calls were immediately made to Hall to find a time for the lesson.

"Made popular through the medium of album covers and posters his work, including posters, cards, books and album covers etc., has sold in excess of sixty million copies world-wide."

Nope.......he's OUT.

I don't have it at hand, but Larsen did one for a Herb Ellis / Red Mitchell duo album. Again: apt, accurate and funny...

Personally I think album cover art is just as "significant" as any other type of visual medium. Whether it's on canvas or a CD cover matters not to me.

Gary Larsen

This appears to be a Gary Larsen cover too...

[Chas]

Everyone is familiar with S. Neil Fujita's covers for Brubeck's Time Out and Mingus' Ah Um , but here are a couple more less famous covers of his in the same style :

Yup! That's the one I was referring to in post #75... (Gotta love the hanging sign outside! )

Larsen must be a jazz fan!
