Wasn't it their manager that more or less forced Atlantic Records into manufacturing a difficult cover just to stick it to 'em and assert the band's power?The Dragon of M87https://www.blogger.com/profile/13297745815815260283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152115599661261923.post-80309638202222862312007-05-08T20:39:00.000-05:002007-05-08T20:39:00.000-05:00David-I knew I was either going to pick this one o...David-I knew I was either going to pick this one or Zeppelin 3.<BR/><BR/>Rock of ages-Thanks for adding us to your blogroll.<BR/><BR/>Bob-I agree most of their covers are at least interesting.<BR/><BR/><BR/>dpth-We might eventually get around to some viking metal covers.<BR/><BR/>Linda-I think when I was maybe 11 I saw a teenager with a button of this cover and it had me interested as to what it was.<BR/><BR/>Jeff-I like this one and Physical Graffiti about the best for covers.<BR/><BR/>Ray-Somehow it's seems more innocent than disturbing to me.<BR/><BR/>Fred-With three different people doing this, I am sure we will have a good mix of covers.<BR/><BR/>countshokula-If I pick a Scorps cover it sure won't be that one.Metal Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18400759786407810475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152115599661261923.post-41236774259991419702007-05-08T16:24:00.000-05:002007-05-08T16:24:00.000-05:00Let me guess on the next album cover: Scorpions V...Let me guess on the next album cover: Scorpions Virgin Killers!

I know the nudity is supposed to be mildly shocking, but only a random few would find it titillating.<BR/><BR/>I'm excited to see the interest in this blog right out the gate. I'm sure I can speak for my friends that we'll aim to please as well as come off with some off-the-wall stuff or stuff you might've forgotten about or be exposed to for the very first time.Ray Van Horn, Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13614522170335864253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152115599661261923.post-45714645506701401062007-05-07T20:00:00.000-05:002007-05-07T20:00:00.000-05:00I would definitely say that this is probably the s...I would definitely say that this is probably the strongest Zep cover, I also love the cover of "IV" but this one probably tops it.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12351829904831853599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152115599661261923.post-75924731838998477702007-05-07T15:53:00.000-05:002007-05-07T15:53:00.000-05:00I actually saw this album cover for the first time...I actually saw this album cover for the first time when I was a kid.

One of the things I've tried to do is give good space on my blog to the covers as they can make or break an album purchase. <BR/><BR/>This one is a fine cover (although I concur with David's 'slightly disturbing' comment) that was photographed at the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland and was influenced by the Arthur C Clarke book Childhood's End.<BR/><BR/>I recently got a really good copy of this on vinyl and that brings home just how good the artwork is as well as what a bloody good album it is too!<BR/><BR/>Best of luck with the blog guys - I'll add it to my 'blogroll' in the near future.<BR/><BR/>Bill<BR/><BR/>http://rockofages.wordpress.comBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13492995578481011623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152115599661261923.post-80208578240473630882007-05-07T08:14:00.000-05:002007-05-07T08:14:00.000-05:00A great cover to start with--I suspected you'd sta...A great cover to start with--I suspected you'd start with this one or <I>Who's Next</I>. This has always been a slightly disturbing cover that really seems to capture the other-worldly quality of some Zep tunes. It's perfect for this album.<BR/><BR/>Also, in anticipation of the glory that this blog will be, I've already moved it up to me "Blog I Read Consistently" list above my blogroll. I know that's a lot of pressure ... but I have no worries you three will exceed even my high expectations.<BR/><BR/>-- davidDavid Amulethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03758977878243268087noreply@blogger.com
