    Ian Hunter - S/T

    Former Mott The Hoople front man. Once Bitten Twice Shy is the only song that sticks in my mind from it.

    Maybe too easy, but I like the artwork from this 180 g reissue.

    It's a Hipgnosis morning! What am I doing up this early....

    The Cranberries / Bury the Hatchet

    Pitchfork Media said this of the album cover...."Storm Thorgerson's artwork fluctuates between the iconic and the inane. This one falls into the latter category." Aubrey Powell was the other first half of Hypgnosis. They did some iconic album covers before the digital age.

    Good to hear from you! Hope all's well.

    I don't own it but you don't have to own something to know it. I grew up in that age, was 24 when Moon released that album. There are books of album art, just a couple I have. It's hobby of mine. I also follow band members around and read record sleeves.

    books%20450x800.jpg

    I'm a member of the Rockford Audio Society. We took turns hosting all day music meets with the host designating categories to bring music for. 8 people, 5 to 8 categories per meet, 40 to 64 possible new artists you can be exposed to. These meets were documented on laptops with printouts of who brought what.

    I keep a spreadsheet with a friend in Rockford of undocumented Hypgnosis covers (the book does not contain ALL their covers).

    I like banned cover art. Like the banned Golden Earring Moontan Album, available in both gatefold and single, Moon's single album also had a less offensive to some cover.

    This is as far as I'll go saying I know what I know, except where do I find the stated option in IE 11?

    It might only be an option in Google Chrome? Although I could have used this at any point, I'd rather get it correct on my own merit. Which hasn't happened yet. I literally haven't known a single album cover since I first posted in here.

    I use Chrome and I haven't cheated. I swear on a pumpkin pie I haven't. I've known a few but ''Percewood's Onagram ‎– Tropical Brainforest'' was one that I had no idea.

    Try this one from my LP's. Sorry about the camera flash. Also I'm sorry I didn't post one after guessing correctly. I spent the day with my 89 year old dad. There is a lot of driving invovled as we don't live near each other and I was tired when I got home last evening.
