Yes, another thread on album covers. Been looking at some blue note albums, it's amazing how consistenly great the covers were. I mean when I look at a cover like Herbie's Maiden Voyage, when I first looked at it, it looked like a man sitting at a grand piano, then recently I discovered another image....a man sitting on a sail boat. Trippy! Anyone else see it or is it just me? Anyway the cover just takes me to a whole other place if you know what I mean, as if i'm going on a voyage...a maiden voyage. OK OK 2 much info HAHA. BTW, was it Alfred Lion who took these pics and/or drew them or someone else?

    Have to admit, never saw a piano on the Maiden Voyage cover -
    always just looked like a sailboat to me...


    Do you have the BN cover book? Definitely worth copping,
    nice oversize prints of many of the best covers. Can generally
    be found for cheap, I got mine at a remainder spot for $6.

    This has always been and will always be a sail boat. Not tripy. Just a sail boat.

    Dude, I wonder what you see in one of those crazy ass psych records covers.

    Oh, I always thought it was Herbie sitting at a Fender Rhodes

    No person could have time to actually enjoy something at that level. Plus, once you get past Blue Note related shit, audiophiles have notoriously godawful taste.
