What issue is that? And what is "dama viajera" - "Lady Ace"?
A few that come to mind:
Coincidentally, both are IMO better than the more well-known versions.
Wow! Never knew of this German Procol "Home". Any idea what year this is?
(Of course there is the well-known "green" alternate cover for procol harum 'Shine On Brightly")
...
Lev: it is Argentinian Vertigo . tracklist in Spanish. Isnt there a track on that orig. lp called "TRAVELLING Lady"??
I see my second picture does not show. Here is it again, from different source.
Yup, you're right, that must be it. Funny that both Chapter Three records started with a "lady" song.Originally Posted by Jymbot

I have the German press Magical Mystery Tour. Slightly different cover.
Said to be the best-sounding MMT.
I have this one on LP.

I guess this is the origional cover. Ive never seen a copy. My copy of Ugly Custard is the French press on President. It has the better, more psychedelic, distorted green face coverart.

Stolen from Biffyshrew's page.
Dang it, that worked in preview.

↑↑↑That’s the Mirage cover I’m familiar with.
The totally cheesy US cover to Moonmadness:
Speaking of, did Janus Records have some sort of moral objection to using a band’s original cover art? They changed all of Kayak’s album covers, too (even See See the Sun, which was released by Harvest, had a different cover in the US).
My first copy of Amon Düül II’s Phallus Dei looked like this:

N.P.:nothing
What is it with alternate covers, anyway? Why can't everything have just one cover?
Sometimes I think record companies do it on purpose, because they know that it will attract collectors.

Then there are the real tricksters - same lp but different coverart AND LP TITLE. Uriah Heep first " 'eavy n' 'umble" (or summat like that) and the Canadian press "same" with the Vernon nightmare creature purple & silver foc.
I think there is a Schultze one like this - Body Love?
Speaking of Schultze , the first one had three different covers.
^ Don't forget the number of times that From Genesis to Revelation has been reissued with alternate cover art and title!!

Traffic "Mr Fantasy" and the US press "Heaven Is In Your Mind".
There is a very rare Canadian press Traffic - I think its called "Heavy Traffic" with the band on a combine harvester??? Anyone know?
Im NOT speaking of the "Heavy Traffic" compilation '75 boxset .
(WTF - "edit post" feature is not working.)

@Dave - Those Best Band covers are terrible! What was Frank thinking? I know that Does Humor Belong in Music wasn't his, so that's excusable. What isn't is the fact that the 2012 reissues revert to the original covers!
