Over the years, a big part of UFO has been their album covers. They had famed cover company Hipgnosis make their covers from the mid 70's to the early 80's. These are probably the most famous album covers by the band, because they include Force It and Strangers In The Night. These early album covers had a very smart sense of humor. They also had great artwork that featured intriguing detail. Even with the most recent cover Seven Deadly; the album cover is still so detailed and in a way humorous, and it was made by a different artist than the old ones. My favorite album cover from the band would have to be Strangers In The Night because it just has such an insane feel with the people screaming on the front, and all of the different colors give their cover an interesting feel to it.
My favourite is Phenomenon , very clever with the 'after' photo on the back of the album. In my teenage years I painted this cover on my bedroom wall, took me ages :)
ReplyDeletePhenomenon is very neat. It is clever. That is very neat that you painted it on your wall. I bet that took forever. Thanks for commenting. It has been great to hear your opinions. And you were right about Mystery Train. I switched that to my favorite cover by the band.
DeleteI love the Misdemeanor cover !!
ReplyDeleteObsession is classic .
Can't say that any one is my favorite - they're all cool !
I happen to like those too. The band has so many classic album covers that it is very hard to say. Thanks for commenting Liz.

ReplyDeleteThat is a good one. Reminds me of dirty deeds done dirt cheap by ACDC
