But I do remember the cover
It was a really angry looking guy with a beard in a suit, sitting in a cafe I think stirring coffee staring right down the lens.
It only came out a couple of years ago and I can't for the life of me remember the name of either the album or artist(but I think it may have been John something)
john grant
pale green ghosts
I don't think I've ever seen a beard in a suit before.

So near but so far...

I like this thread, so here's another one:
Shot from above, on a red velvet sheet, is a naked black woman. She's holding a naked white baby.
Who dat den!
That would be Congregation by the Afghan Whigs 😛
Winner!
Yay! Do I get to go next then?
Missed out 🙁
A big crowd of people looking up, might be a crowded beach or something, black and white, cropped from a photo by a very famous American photographer.
One of my very favourites, this one. I think Dez possibly likes it too. 🙂
Ooh, racking the brains... how old is it?
Its not "Holidays in the Sun", is it?
Which was only a single, I've just learned.
Hmm.
Ooh, racking the brains... how old is it?
1990.
(The bit about you liking it may* have been me taking the piss.)
*I reckon anyway.
HINT: West country folk often add a spurious "s" to this singer's surname.
Good god.
George Michael?
Tell me no.....

<the horror>
Never woulda got that!
No? Great cover though. To match the songs. 😀
Your go cody.
Good thread!
So- a bit cheeky, but: a greased, naked woman on all fours with a dog collar around her neck and a leash, and a man's arm extended out...holding on to the leash and pushing a black glove in her face to sniff it.
🙂
Too easy
Smell the glove - spinal tap
You're next!
Ok, one of my favourites
A man stands in a kitchen. He is wearing a dressing gown and has a beard
Tough one.
Clue?
Album is from early 70s and features one of the best known ballads of all time and songs which feature in Goodfellas and Reservoir Dogs
The Eric Clapton one with Layla on it.
Nope
Of course.... 😉
Good one GST!
Someone else want to have a go?
Well done
Bugger, beaten to it!
how about...
Corner of a grey walled room. Parquet floor. One band member stood, on the left. The others sat in kitchen chairs, all facing the camera.
Easy?
Japan?
Edit - nah, it's The Jam isn't it?
Can I go?
White winkle pickers in a shaft of light.
Joe Jackson?
The album?
Look Sharp?
2/2 Gold star.
Whoooooo!
Ok.
A man sits at a piano.
He has a gun slung over his shoulder.
He is in a junk filled outhouse or barn.
An SS Officer sits behind him, tied up.
Yeah, sorry, got distracted. Mine was All Mod Cons, of course.
Sounds like .. a British rock band? 70s?
Not British.
Not Rock.
Not 70's.
🙂
MOAR hints plz.
it's a jazzy album, innit - Dr John ?
Close then!
It's Jaaaaaaaaaazz.
American.
1968 I think.

I've just cheated & googled 😳
bah, outdone by dezzles
🙂
Great album.
Bought it because of the cover.
Well, you would, wouldn't you?
Another one -
In the middle of a yellow flower is a baby's face. The face has those white chocolate 100s & 1000s sweets around it...
(yes, it's a brill cover RS!)
Dez, is it teletubbies 1st album ?
or 3ft high & rising ?
No.
Idea.
At all.
The only thing that I can think of is that lost Brian Wilson album, Smile?
[i]Dez, is it teletubbies 1st album ?[/i]
Looks like that! Clue - one of the biggest indie bands ever
Christ this grew legs 😀
trying out the album by the way, not sure about it though, it'll take a few listens

Pablo Honey?
edit: oh you rotter.
Winner!
Ok. What about a tiny shriveled and malnourished dark skinned hand, held in the hand of a healthy white person, the bands name in pink writing above?
I know the band, not the album title
(or is it the cover of an "obvious" single ?)
Ah bugger it - must be fresh fruit for rotting veg, I suppose ?
Plastic Surgery Disasters?
Well done rusty spanner!

Was listening to that at weekend. 🙂
A pretty well known one:
One band member stands behind the others, who are seated.
All are smeared with blood.
There are several decapitated children's dolls.
Not Travelogue? Nah, that's just feet and dolls.... hmm.
Yesterday and today!
edit: oddly I was looking at some of the other shots from that photoshoot earlier today.
Spot on. 🙂
Got a link to the other shots?
[i]Yesterday and today![/i]
Beatles one is that?
Yeah, here's one of the non-smiley shots

Yeah, pretty infamous US release.
Still quiite an odd image.
No wonder it was withdrawn.
Your turn Sam.
I can't honestly remember why I was looking at them. Essentially it's the same but more meat, less dolls.
My effort -
Background: A high mountain meadow.
Foreground: the name of the album writ with the same thing I'm using right now.
Sophtware Slump?
That's the one!
V odd - I bought a copy of the software slump for £1 at a flea market only yesterday

Reluctant, I'm looking at you......
