Hugemanskost Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 When I was a kid, I was always stoked to see what was inside the sleeve of a new album that I had just purchased. I was always disappointed if it was just a paper or plastic liner. The minimum I wanted to see was a lyric sheet. So... what are your favorite album / CD packages including cover, liner notes, lyric sheets, posters, stickers, ringtones, etc.? My top 2 are: Kiss Alive 2 - Came with a wicked booklet and tattoos... cool gatefold cover. Pink Floyd - The Wall - awesome gatefold cover art and lyric liners. Yours? Link to comment
RUPERTKBD Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Always liked the Molly Hatchet covers done by the guy who did all the Conan-type Sword and Sorcery artwork. Can't think of his name off hand.... Link to comment
wtpasc Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I have to go with Tool aenima. awesome art inside and they all work with the textured motion cover on the CD jewel case. A close second would be Tool's 10000 Days, carboard CD sleeve, with built in 3D goggles and a small built in booklet with 3D photo's and paintings. Link to comment

uber_pwnzor Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Is also a good one. Hell, metal bands used to have so much better album covers than they do now... Link to comment
Slaytanic Wehrmacht Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is without a shadow of a doubt the best album art I have ever seen. Link to comment
RUPERTKBD Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Pretty sure you are talking about Frank Frazetta. lol pretty geeky of me to know that off hand. Link to comment
Sharpshooter Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I'd agree with those that said Tool. I'd also say that from years gone by, no album covers have been better than Iron Maiden's. and soooo many more..... Link to comment
