COS Vapour Trails and CA

 

I wish they'd re-release COS with the original design; black and silver!

 

What you mean original design? Black and silver?? Show me a picture!

 

Go to this link they have a pic there.

Originally, the album cover was supposed to be in silver hue to give it a "steel" appearance.

A printing error resulted in a copper color for the album cover.

If you want to know the truth, I think they have the worst album covers I've ever seen.

That's just asking for treeduck to start posting his collection again! :LOL:

I find many of the covers compelling for different reasons, but my perception is also coloured by nostalgia a bit. I remember being awestruck by some of the early covers when I was a little kid who didnt really know much about art. I also think some (very few) of the covers are not at all engaging.

 

Another one of the things I miss about vinyl . . . when I play a record, I almost always sit with the cover sleeve in front of me. I'm drawn to the image, somehow.

Grace Under Pressure

Exit Stage Left

Vapor Trails both of them

 

Honorable mention....Test For Echo, Fly By Night and some reason especially since I don't like the color red....Hold Your Fire....it's just simple while being powerful.

Caress Of Steel

Fly By Night

Moving Pictures

 

Honorable Mentions To: 2112, Snakes & Arrows, Permanent Waves, and Presto

 

Easily the worst: Hold Your Fire (there is something nauseating about an all red album cover, especially for a keyboard laden, overly produced and poppy album with turds like High Water, Tai Shan, and Second Nature)
