I just finished listening to the audiobook — it’s great! Now I’m doing a re-listen to every album in order.

On the tenth-anniversary release of The White Stripe’s fourth album, “Elephant,” Meg White’s dress has been switched from white to black—literally no longer a white stripe on the album cover.

Not yet, what’s it called?

Yep! I think they actually canned the first attempt because of the weather and then they had to come back a couple weeks later and set it all back up again! Event! 😄

Oh yes, Blue Note *will* be covered!

Just a quick introduction:
I’m Patrick. I’m a design educator who loves vinyl records. I started this account to share the stories behind album cover design—highlighting the artists, designers, photographers, etc. who contributed to the greatest covers in music history. #vinylsky #vinylrecords

Artist David Gambale, aka World B. Omes, created the airplane illustration for the cover of The Beastie Boys’ debut album, “Licensed To Ill” with water-soluble crayons. Interestingly, the plane’s tail number (“3MTA3”) reads “EATME” when looked at in reverse.

The cover of The National’s fifth studio album, “High Violet” (2010), is a photograph of a sculpture entitled “Untitled (Binding Force),” made by American installation artist Mark Fox (who is also Matt Berninger’s second cousin).

But part of the charm of Storm’s company, Hipgnosis, is that they made all these fantastic images IRL. Granted, they didn’t have Photoshop back then, but even if they did, they still had the desire to actually make it.

Did you know that Storm Thorgerson placed 700 real cast iron hospital beds on a beach for Pink Floyd’s “A Momentary Lapse of Reason” cover shoot? Now you do!

Album cover for The Rolling Stones album, “Let It Bleed”.

In 1969, Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger first asked artist M.C. Escher to design a cover for the album "Let It Bleed," but Escher declined, so Keith Richards hired Robert Brownjohn, a close friend, to design the cover.

For the cover of Oasis' debut, "Definitely Maybe," Noel Gallagher drew inspiration from the back cover of the 60s Beatles compilation, “A Collection of Beatles Oldies”, where the Fab Four are hanging around a Japanese hotel room.

The Strokes' sixth album, "The New Abnormal" (2020), features a cropped version of the 1981 Jean-Michel Basquiat painting, "Bird on Money" for the cover art. The album's title was inspired by a quote from former CA governor Jerry Brown amid the 2018 wildfires.
