Noteworthy album covers of all time

So, we've had thread of noteworthy album covers since 2011 but we don't have anything previous to those I think. So, here's a thread for sharing your favorite album covers of all time. (if this takes off I'm assuming we'll need to do a Pt. 2 if it gets too saturated by images).

Please post the title of the album and not only the image in case it gets taken down.

I made a pinterest board (I know, I know) to avoid clogging the thread so early with all the artwork from past years that I've loved. Been looking for some of these in vinyl for years now, would look beautiful in a wall, or just on display in the vinyl storage. Anyhoo:

I've used this phrase to describe this album cover before, but to me it's an entire movie in a single frame.

Cyndi Lauper - She's So Unusual

Literal trainspotting: The train featured on the opening track on the Mister D's Machine LP above was sampled almost in its entirety for the ending of "Caroline, No" on Pet Sounds

雁兒歸 by 尤雅

(I guess this is in the same category as that Lauper cover above, I've always loved it.)

Though I've never quite figured out what those... giant sticks she's holding are supposed to be?

(Nina Simone - Baltimore)

I guess there's nothing particularly striking about this cover, but I like the font, and she just looks so unique and gorgeous in the photo.

haha yes me too

or me neither rather

In a completely different aesthetic category, I think the covers of Tetsu Inoue's first three solo albums all look hella cool and illustrate the music perfectly:

ooooohhhhh look at me with my stripper heels and my Illuminati minidress and my giant fiberglass chopsticks. I'm such a free spirit aren't I?

By most accounts she really was/is, and the music on the album certainly is pretty wild, so I don't get your point?

Shorty Rogers - Shorty Rogers Courts the Count

just joking, xpost. I don't know much about her, to be honest (apart from the Miles Davis connection)

one of the first proper album covers (this was a book of 78s)

I've never seen that Shorty Rogers lp, but that art is by Jim Flora. Love him.

The JIM O ROURKE album covers by MIMIYO TOMOZAWA are favorites of mine.

Also all of Shackleton's album covers... too many to mention but they're consistent as they appear to be made by the same artist.
