Album Covers Quotes

‘Paranoid’ went straight to number four in the British singles chart and got us on Top of the Pops – alongside Cliff Richard, of all people. The only problem was the album cover, which had been done before the name change and now didn’t make any sense at all. What did four pink blokes holding shields and waving swords have to do with paranoia? They were pink because that was supposed to be the colour of the war pigs. But without ‘War Pigs’ written on the front, they just looked like gay... Ozzy Osbourne
Michael Giles the first drummer of King Crimson, never agreed to the name King Crimson. But then, if you'd knew Michael, you would know he didn't agree to the album cover either. So maybe Michael didn't agree to the point of definition with many things. Robert Fripp
Bruce Dickinson quote: "The mystical poetry of William Blake's artwork also forms the..."
The mystical poetry of William Blake's artwork also forms the basis for the album cover. Bruce Dickinson

Terry Southern quote: "I met The Beatles and Stones at the same time, because Michael..."

Julie London quote: "I think the first album cover was considered most provocative...."
I think the first album cover was considered most provocative. I think that contributed a great deal. Julie London

Bob Dylan's first couple of records in the 60's weren't considered cover records, but he only wrote one or two original songs on each album. John Mellencamp
I was in Tower Records in San Francisco a few weeks ago, buying some cassettes, and a couple of people recognized me and ran up with albums, and I just wanted to cover my face and have a seizure or something. I want people to just go away. Christine McVie
Taylor Swift quote: "I don't think I'd ever make an album of just covers because I..."
I don't think I'd ever make an album of just covers because I love writing my own music. Taylor Swift
If I'd just been interested in record sales, I would have taken one of the deals I was offered after 'Soapstar Superstar,' made a quick covers album and probably had some success for five minutes. I decided that wasn't for me. Richard Fleeshman
I love Sell Out, I think it's great. I love the jingles. The whole thing as an album is a wonderful piece of work. The cover. Everything about it. It's got humor, great songs, irony. Roger Daltrey
The new album is a childhood dream come true. Got to sing with Ronnie Spector, got to cover a bunch of songs that were influential in drawing a line between the punk form and original rock and roll. Jerry Only
I believe that music is another form of news. Music is another form of journalism to me so I have to cover all the areas with my album. Lil Wayne
