Sounds like insider knowledge to me!
Is it something to do with cerebral dominace where traditionally one hemisphere has been linked to artistic/creative traits, the other to practical/analytical skills - it’s considerably more complex than this in reality of course!
Possibly. After all, what says artistic/creative more than a naked geezer doing his best Nureyev pose?
Here at stately Bhoyo Manor, we’re big fans of the Aussie prince of darkness. I love the album, and have tried to like the cover. But, to me, it still looks more My Little Pony than Stagger Lee.
Ha! I’m a big softie – unless I’m sitting at my keyboard.
This definitely counts as an awful cover. At the time I bought it I really didn’t like it, having loved his previous two albums. Beautiful Way is just playing on RP so perhaps I need to give it another go.
Bob Dylan. Empire burlesque. Actually contains some great tracks including one of my favourites “Trust yourself “ but at the time it was difficult to get past that pose and wide lapel fashion.
I need this album!
Agreed. See post #79
Hi Igahman,
sorry missed you post #79.

Good album. But really. Nothing to do with the music, what were they thinking?? Utter bollocks imho.
an avant-garde wonder. Gimme that old time religion any day
A great album, with an equally great cover. However, this would have been the cover had Roger Waters not overridden Storm Thorgerson:
yes, it would have been a tad unfortunate wouldn’t it
Storm’s original idea for the cover of Meddle was going to be a photo of a baboon’s anus, but strangely, the band didn’t think this was a good idea.
so it ended up looking like a fart in the bath
