Burial - Burial (2006)

Burial’s tunes are ghostly, foggy, late night South London dance music. The beats are hazy and buried underneath layers of rain and pirate radio crackle, the melodies mournful yet hopeful, and vocal fragments echo into the distance. This is music for listening to at night, on a night bus or late walk home on the street.
The shot of foggy, late night South London not only evokes that feeling you’ll get when hearing the music, but the far-away distance of the shot itself hints at the distant melodies and vocal fragments contained within. Even the text has a foggy glow, like a street light glowing in the rainy night.

New Order - Blue Monday 12''



The artwork is designed to resemble a floppy disk. The sleeve does not display either the group name nor song title in plain English anywhere; the only text on the sleeve is “FAC SEVENTY THREE” on the spine. Instead the legend “FAC 73 BLUE MONDAY AND THE BEACH NEW ORDER” is represented in code by a series of coloured blocks. The key enabling this to be deciphered was printed on the back sleeve of the album, Power, Corruption & Lies. “Blue Monday” and Power, Corruption & Lies are two of four Factory releases from this time period to employ the colour code, the others being "Confusion" by New Order and From the Hip by Section 25.
The single’s original sleeve, created by Factory designer Peter Saville and Brett Wickens, was die-cut with a silver inner sleeve. It cost so much to produce that Factory Records actually lost money on each copy sold. Matthew Robertson’s Factory Records: The Complete Graphic Album notes that “[d]ue to the use of die-cutting and specified colours, the production cost of this sleeve was so high that the single sold at a loss.” Tony Wilson noted that it lost 5p per sleeve “due to our strange accounting system”; Saville noted that nobody expected “Blue Monday" to be a commercially successful record at all, so nobody expected the cost to be an issue. In fact, in Shadowplayers: The Rise and Fall of Factory Records, Saville states “I am so bored with this story. We didn’t even know how many of these expensive covers were ever made anyway.”
Robertson also noted that “[l]ater reissues had subtle changes to limit the cost” (the diecut areas being replaced with printed silver ink)

Syd Barret - The Madcap Laughs (1969)

For the album cover, Barrett painted the floor of his bedroom in Wetherby Mansions orange and purple.
The nude woman appearing on the back of the record sleeve was an acquaintance of his known as "Iggy the Eskimo".
Photographer Mick Rock says, "When I arrived for 'The Madcap Laughs' photo session, Syd was still in his underpants .. His lady friend of two weeks, 'Iggy the Eskimo', was naked in the kitchen .."Iggy met Barrett in the summer of 1966, through Barrett's then-girlfriend, Jenny Spires. A year after Barrett had moved into Wetherby Mansions, Iggy moved in after Spires suggested. Iggy didn't know who Barrett was, that he was previously was in Pink Floyd. Barrett had played to Iggy several songs that would later appear on the album, one being "Terrapin", which she called "quite catchy".
In October 2010 she was interviewed, revealing that her name was Evelyn.
The album was designed by Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey Powell of Hipgnosis.

DJ Shadow - Endtroducing..... (1996)

The album's front cover depicts Solesides members Chief Xcel (left) and Lyrics Born (right) in Records, a record store at 710 K Street in Sacramento, California. The K Street location of Records closed in December 2006, and has since relocated to the former Tower Video location at the corner of Broadway and South Land Park Drive. The back cover features Beni B (owner of ABB records) and a blind cat belonging to the shop owner.

Beck - Odelay (1996)

The title is a phonetic English rendering of the Mexican slang interjection "órale," which translates roughly to "listen up" or "what's up?" The phrase "odelay" is repeated in the lyrics during the outro of the song "Lord Only Knows". However, according to Stephen Malkmus, the title is actually a play of words on Oh Delay, since the album took very long to record.
The album's unusual cover is a real photo of a Komondor, a rare Hungarian breed of dog with thick matted hair. The image was chosen at the last minute after Beck failed to decide on an album cover. The image was presented to him by his girlfriend and was chosen almost out of desperation. The typeface was chosen by a record company worker.

Nouvelle Vague - Nouvelle Vague (2004)

Postmodernism alert! The thought of a band that covers early-1980s new wave and post-punk music like Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart in a Bossa Nova style might make you a little queasy, but fortunately Paris-based Nouvelle Vague apply lashings of the noirish cool.
The band's covers feature sultry 1960s figures, the work of fashion designer Giles Deacon, with a self-consciously lo-fi feel. "We were very anti-computer," explains art director Dylan Kendle. "Each letter of the band's name was cut out by hand, but done so in a deliberately rigid manner, as a kind of whimsical nod to modernism."

Pixies - Doolittle (1989)

Doolittle was the first album where Simon Larbalestier, the Pixies' cover photographer, and Vaughan Oliver, the band's cover artist, had access to the lyrics. According to Larbalestier, this "made a fundamental difference." The availability of the lyrics allowed the art and photographs to be more closely tied to the content of the album; the cover references the themes in "Monkey Gone to Heaven", and depicts a stuffed monkey, with a halo and the numbers five, six and seven around it.

Alice Cooper - School's Out (1972)

Created to look like an old school desk, complete with band member’s initials carved into the wood, the inside of the sleeve was built to look like the inside of the desk (containing some of the indispensable items necessary for a proper education, like a switchblade and a comic book).

Also on the inside of the sleeve was a paper facsimile of a pair of girl’s panties, designed to keep the vinyl from dropping out of the cover.
