Greatest album cover… of all time!

Santana - Abraxas ( Annunciation by Matti Klarwein 1961)
Live-Evil by Mati Klarwein, Oil on Canvas 1972. Used as cover art on the Miles Davis album Live-Evil. ( ''...I hooked up with Miles the way I hooked up with everything else in life: through the women I've known. Be they friends or lovers, they are all mothers with excellent taste. Without them I'd be a dead spermatozoid in a dry puddle, and Miles saw that in my paintings. The only time he discussed subject matter was for Live-Evil. He asked me to paint a toad for the 'Evil' side. So I painted J Edgar Hoover as a toad in drag - which turned out to be another one of my prophetic insights.''
One of the best albums ever made but I always thought the cover was weak, especially in the swinging psychedelic times it was released in.
