i feel like i see another one that i hadn't seen before every other day! so many! they didn't want anyone to think that they had ever owned a copy of Tapestry or had learned macrame in the past. i understand. i don't know where the line is between "going for it in a big way" and "desperation". but most people will do anything for money.

listened to the Dusty album today, it's pretty incredible. practically every song feels like a different producer's audition for what her 80s sound could be - new wave! electro! a Pirates deep cut! her voice is a great unifier for all this tbh.
got halfway through the Grace Slick one, which is a lot more sonically consistent... the lyrics are often kind of headache-inducing though. i tried to look up the ones for "All the Machines," but the Internet lyrics sites have all just filled it in with the lyrics to an entirely different song by Three Days Grace. this is exactly the kind of thing Grace was trying to warn us about!

I think this move was absolutely necessary in that era. As a kid in the 80s every now and then I would check out the bargain albums at K-Mart and find 70s albums by acts like Hall & Oates or Rod Stewart etc. and the covers seemed grotesquely dated.

i was just listening to bob welch's 1980 album which also has a pretty 80s cover as does his album from 1981 but this is probably his best 80s record cover.
for the record, i like pretty much everything bob welch ever did. i like his fleetwood mac stuff, the paris albums, and all his solo albums. he was in soul bands before all that and i would probably like them too. i've never had a copy of the Head West album he did in 1970. i have to go to canada and see if i can find one. it never came out here.

Heart are not a typical case. they were sooooo 70s in the 70s. ren faire led zep folk rock riffs and then in the 80s they put out two awkward albums that nobody listened to and that nobody really listens to now and then they just blew the 80s UP with two albums that were beyond massive and that helped define 80s AOR/Pop/Rock/MTV.
when i think of other people who did that - who seemed on the ropes in the early 80s and then just ended up on the radio forever with their later 80s work - i think of...steve winwood? though his early 80s records had some hits. i mean i guess clapton too. behind the sun was the first real *eighties* clapton record that people actually listened to and wanted to hear.
i was a big fan of heart's 80s pop glam turn. steve and clapton i will curse till death for their beer bloat rock blockers.

This has already been posted but it really needs the back cover too for the full horrendous effect

Aww, I once had that album in my collection and still fondly remember that back cover. Stylist clearly wasn't fazed by monobrows.

I mentioned Renaissance on that Dino Wavo thread a long time ago. They seemed like one of the unlikeliest bands to try this.

Wow this sends me waaay back. I reviewed records throughout the decade in question, handled many of these as promo copies, wrote about a significant number. My professional life (such as it was) flashes before my eyes. Thanks for the memories!

not to mention their follow-up, in which Camp looks like Dennis Reynolds!
I really love this band, I've seen a hundred photos of them, if I flipped through this or the back cover of Camera I'd have no clue who it was

This thread is grrrreat! And it's sent me looking for some stuff I've never heard - and don't expect to have much replay value lol.
"Banks Statement" wtf?
That Ian Anderson album way upthread is phenomenal and sounds just like the sleeve.

its like a robert palmer album except way weirder
I like this whole subcategory of "cover photos where the musician is looking at themselves on TV"

The Frampton is an inner sleeve... the actual cover is posted upthread.

Why did Peter Frampton put a picture of Stewart Copeland on the back cover?

Just by the look of it, I always assumed this was an 80s album but in fact predates the decade by a couple of years.
― jvc, Thursday, 16 January 2025 22:41 (six months ago)
...well, I guess Hillage's 80s began already in 1977!

Leo Sayer – Living In A Fantasy
― Kim Kimberly, Wednesday, 30 July 2025 20:16 (three days ago)
lol, it's like they attempted cover shoots with seven other concepts and then a collage artist appeared with a big idea to help Sayer update his image for a new generation.
