FACT 25. This Peter Saville-designed cover for Joy Division’s second album was created before Ian Curtis’ suicide. The image is by photographer Beranrd Pierre Wolff (1930-1985) and is a 1978 photo of the Appiani family tomb in the Cimitero monumentale di Staglieno, an amazing cemetary outside Genoa.
FAC 23. Another '78 Wolff, also from the Cimitero monumentale di Staglieno; this time the tomb belongs to the Ribaudo family.

Closer…beautiful image and cover.
Stunning album too.
The first JD I bought and I’ll always love it.
Is it a nose or an ear ?
I always interpreted it as an artistic visual of our good old friend Narcissus.
He spent so long intoxicated by his own reflection that he couldn’t tell the difference between his ears or his nose.
Probably couldn’t careless so long as it had something reflected from himself.
This is of course schoolboy stuff and nothing what so ever to do with Sid.

No idea what it is!
Wondered the same. Nothing hopefully, deep inhalation could be far worse for his instrument!

For this 1993 New Order LP (their first after the demise of Factory), Peter Saville used stock photos from libraries and mail order campaigns Photoshopped together.
Not the cover but the composed photo inside for Beggar’s Banquet would get my vote.

I was listening to this a couple of days ago. I noticed how great the cover was and it was actually relevant to the whole album, quite often a rarity.

The horror! The horror! As terrifying as Picasso’s “Guernica”, Goya’s “Saturn Devouring His Children” or Gericault’s “Heads Severed”. An added bonus is that the cover fully conveys the horrific musical content within.

Interesting cover:
The cover art for Zeit depicts the members of Rammstein walking down a staircase connected to the Trudelturm, a monument dedicated to aerial research, located at Aerodynamic Park in Adlershof, Berlin. The photograph used for the cover art was taken by Canadian musician Bryan Adams.
