Greatest album cover… of all time!

I'll list Led Zeppelin's In through the out door. For those of you old enough(like me) you might remember the album was released with 6 different covers. It was sold with a brown paper bag covering to conceal which cover you were purchasing. Also, the inside sleeve would turn to colour if it was moistened with water and rubbed. All the different album covers can be seen in the link I have attached.

The butcher cover: the story of The Beatles' most controversial sleeve art
Draped with raw meat, dismembered doll parts and false teeth, this was a more maniacal version of the loveable moptops

Robert Crumb turned down $100,000 to do a Rolling Stones album cover, back when $100,000 was big money. His Cheap Thrills art work was eye catching. I always like the turtle with the cigar and the racing form.
In a similar vein from the same place and era, Shakedown Street was pretty good. And one of the few Grateful Dead songs I actually like.
Grew up at the prime of metal..not dawn..I'd say dawn would be (Sabbath, iggy pop & Dio) prime I would say...This was my band!
