➤ Simple Guidelines

➧1. Include the original album name, author and year of release. If you do not know some of the required information, state that in either the title or top-level comment e.g. [Author/s - Album Name (Unknown Year)]. The reason we ask for this information is that you can only search on the content of post titles, not comments.

➧2. No low-effort/low-quality posts. Posts made to c/albumartporn are expected to be of high quality and have serious effort put behind them. The album cover should be clean, not have any urls/website watermarks in them.

➧3. Be Original

➧4. Be respectful. Harassment, abuse, name calling, and/or threats of any kind is not tolerated here. Any content, whether an image or a comment, that includes any kind of bigoted language or hate speech will be met with a permanent ban.

➧5. No off-topic Content Never post anything that is off-topic (i.e. not album art) or that contains gory material.

➧6. No spam or reposts. Do not submit more than one of the same post/comment on this community or across multiple communities. In addition, please wait at least 3 months before reposting an image that has already been posted to c/albumartporn, and do not repost from the top of all time.

➧7. No advertisement or self-promotion. Do not use this community to advertise or self-promote. This includes (but is not limited to) websites, articles, blog posts, and brands.

➧8. No memes, gifs, videos, audios. Just album covers

➧9. Tag NSFW Posts · Nudity: Obvious, implied or strategically covered · Content that is “sexually explicit”. Gore, both human and non-human is not allowed.

➠Feel free to report any content that does not respect these rules.

One of the Albums Drawfee did in their "expanded album art" episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANrQiFG0rkU

Some "fun" facts:

  • The face is the self portrait of Barry Godber (1945–1970), he died from a heart attack some months after release. This is him with the album:

  • The face continues on the other side:

And this was the inner side:

Thanks for the information!

Sadly I only own a CD release of the album. Compared to CD, vinyl record releases have such higher potential for beautiful packaging, especially gatefolds.

I have it on a old cassette somewhere :) It wasn't easy to get western music on the other side of the iron curtain. I'm not that old, inherited from my father.

Rule 6 states that the cutoff for reposts is 3 months, so you are safe

This album is a treat. For anyone interested in prog rock or anything with a 70s vibe, full send this

And if you like it, give In The Wake Of Poseidon a listen, it was recorded by (mostly) the same lineup the following year, and keeps (mostly) the same vibe.

The gateway album. It's all a dark rabbithole from here
