"please do not understand me too quickly"-andre gide
How did you get that humongous FZ on here?
no tunes, no dynamics, no nosebone
KC - Lizard - the music goes perfectly with the cover. Its like another world.
Anthony Phillips - The Geese & The Ghost - also the music goes with the cover
Yes - Tales - love the pictures, that (while reading the lyrics) come up during instrumental passages.
rotters club also matches the music well, as does per un amico.
I know theres more. Flower Kings have some great packaging for instance.
For packaging, I thought King Crimson's Epitath was brilliant and compact considering how much it held.
Faust So Far

Banco del Mutuo Soccorso: Io sono nato libero (original fold-out LP artwork, which I sadly do not own)
Gentle Giant: In a Glass House
Osanna: Palepoli
Premiata Forneria Marconi: Storia di un minuto
Todd Rundgren: A Wizard/A True Star
Semiramis: Dedicato a Frazz (what is it with Italian bands and these incredible cover artwork/packages?)
