This is one of my favourite album covers:

Woolworths refused to stock it, so they replaced it temporarily with this:

The Beautiful South had a penchant for great covers:

Which of course HMV hated, so they replaced it with this:

I really like this. In isolation it looks a bit shit, but in the context of the band is perfect.

Here are ten off the top of my noodle:

The psychedelic sounds of the Thirteenth Floor Elevators
The Beatles: Sgt Pepper
The Beatles: Yesterday and Today (Butcher Babies cover)
Serge Gainsbourg: Historie De Melody Nelson
Dan Sartain – vs The Serpientes. (Spooky coincidence time. I was reviewing this album, and it was on my desk, face up, the day I got a call that someone very close had hanged themselves.)
The Cramps: Off The Bone (3D)
Funkadelic: Maggot Brain
Joy Division: Closer
Pere Ubu: Modern Dance
Ramones: first album
