Interesting Things You Might Not Know About Rock Album Cover
The Banana You Could Peel
The Velvet Underground & Nico's 1967 debut album featured Andy Warhol's banana design with an actual peel-able sticker, though this added 25 cents to production costs and caused distribution delays of several months.
Most Expensive Album Cover
Dire Straits' 'Brothers in Arms' (1985) became the first album to sell over one million copies on CD, largely due to its sophisticated cover design that showcased the new format's visual potential.
The Censored Baby
Nirvana's 'Nevermind' cover photographer Kirk Weddle was paid just $200 for the iconic underwater baby shot in 1991, while the album went on to sell over 30 million copies worldwide.
Designed by Storm Thorgerson
Legendary designer Storm Thorgerson and his Hipgnosis studio created over 350 album covers between 1968-1983, including Pink Floyd's entire catalog, and never used computer graphics until the late 1990s.
The Abbey Road Conspiracy
The Beatles' 'Abbey Road' cover was shot in just 10 minutes with only six photographs taken, yet it became so iconic that the zebra crossing location receives over 500,000 visitors annually.
Hidden Faces Everywhere
The Rolling Stones' 'Their Satanic Majesties Request' (1967) was rock's first 3D lenticular album cover, costing four times the normal production budget and featuring hidden faces of all four Beatles members.
Rejected 30 Times
The Sex Pistols' 'Never Mind the Bollocks' cover with its bold yellow and pink ransom-note lettering was deemed so offensive that several UK record stores were prosecuted in 1977 for displaying it.
Paint Splatter Mathematics
Jackson Pollock's abstract expressionism directly influenced over 200 rock album covers in the 1980s-90s, with bands like The Stone Roses creating their debut cover using just £50 worth of paint and a single afternoon.
The $75,000 Lawsuit
Pink Floyd's 'Animals' (1977) cover shoot at Battersea Power Station used a 40-foot inflatable pig that broke free and flew into Heathrow's flight path, forcing police helicopters to track it across the countryside.
Photography Revolution
The Clash's 'London Calling' cover, designed by Ray Lowry in 1979, deliberately mimicked Elvis Presley's debut album layout but swapped guitar-worship for destruction, becoming Rolling Stone's best album cover of all time in 1991.
The Crowd of Celebrities
The Beatles' 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' cover featured 57 photographs and 9 wax figures, took three months to plan, and cost £2,868 in 1967—equivalent to roughly £60,000 today.
Album Art Architects
Led Zeppelin IV's cover featured no text whatsoever—the first major rock album to do so—and its mysterious symbols were hand-drawn by guitarist Jimmy Page, contributing to over 37 million copies sold despite initial retailer resistance.
