Not the most inspired day at the office of Hipgnosis, but thankfully "someone" had a ploughman's lunch at hand.
Love the back cover photo too.
Cover has the logo. With inbuilt title. Strange days. Most peculiar mama.Last edited by Gilly Goodness; 12-17-2021, 10:42 PM.Comment

I love the juxtaposition of the suit and the hippy dippy water divining. The monochromatic photo overlaid with the bright red of the tomato is a nice touch too.
The clincher for me is the inner sleeve with its mystical astronomical/topographical themes, all OS and von Daniken.Comment

Tormato got my vote too and currently leads the poll (yay!)

Must confess thought it was a banker holding drumsticks for a few years.

Talk is by far the classiest of the rest, but I understand why Peter Max doesn't float the boat of many.
Never that keen on Tormato - it's just a very dull affair from Hipgnosis. GftO is much, much better and I think suffers in its reception around the prudery issue. My bet is that it would be a lot more popular if it were a naked woman - which is a bit juvenile. Magnification is a fantastic album with decent artwork.
The rest are IMO [as an artist and designer] rather pedestrian and really very dated.Comment
