Here are some of my favorites:
You Ain’t Me (one of my all-time favorite Frank cover art)
I Don’t Want To Hurt You (Live EP) & Single
All My Ghosts & I Gotta Move
Headache I & II
Nadine US & UK
Men In Black I & II
I don't care much for the Black Letter Days cover art, too damn depressing

Thanks.

Yeah Man, my pleasure. I should have some time later this week.
I sneeked a peak at the cover art you already have in the song db. Very nice.
Really adds to the overall experience here at fb.net!!!

Actually, there are a LOT of covers here missing from the db. If those of you with collections much more extensive than my own could either scan or, like I just asked Oldman, take a straight-down shot with no flash (and if needed/really close, macro focus) and either email it to me or post it here, that'd be REALLY helpful. We've made the SongDB all graphical now:

The "Headache" CDs and 45 are the very best. "Speedy Marie" is good- I always like seeing different shots from the same photo session.
I've only got "FB" on tape, but the CD booklet has some cool pictures and design.
Other than that the only good ones are the sleeves for the "FB" singlesm, the "Cult of Ray" cover, and "SMYT"/"Nadine". (and ,of course, "Oddballs". |

My favourite are the All My Ghosts and I Gotta Move singles, those rule.
Also hWolsky where did you get that image, did you scan it yourself? I am always on the lookout for quality covers for my mp3 library. I would love a quality oddballs cover since all the ones online are really low res, if I had a scanner I would do it myself. |

Hi jason, wlecome to the forum! I remember Kerrang! magazine used that picture of Frank on the Oddballs cover in a Frank interview!
 "Join the Honeycult!"

I'va always liked the cover of Oddballs:
Gotta love that mad glee :D
I also gotta second the mention of Dog In The Sand. |

Not only the best Catholics album, but also the best cover. Sorry, I have good taste.

Not nearly as bad as Pistolero, ohhh, people are going to hate me for saying that!  As a graphic designer I totally agree with you and it really pains me to see type treated in such a way  .

Thanks for those photos OMIACC.
I have never seen those before. Very cool!
I would have to say I like the yellow/orange, cult of ray and Honeycomb covers the best.
As far as singles go I would have to say I Burn Today.
As far as the cutest one (ok I know cute is anti FB)... SMYT. |

Everything by Vaughan Oliver! Everthing else looks bargin bin qaulity which is a shame as the cd cases contain some of the greatest music ever! Oh and more great work from Carl!

I love it when bands apear on the cover
especially when they look cool like on the Robert Onion single
pretty weird that David Phillips is missing though
he didn't play on SSMVGD right? That's only Gilbert-Feldman-Boutier-McCafrey-Black right?
because I believe this pictures were taken in the time of making that record

alright sorry to get off-topic but I had to post these beauties:
Led Zeppelin, IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR
Talk about trippin out, way back in the day, late 70’s, me and friends were hanging listening to the new Zeppelin LP IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR, someone set their Pepsi or 7-up down on the black and white album color and the moisture from the glass revealed a glimpse of an incredibly colorful watercolor of the entire cover. So we all sat around and dipped our fingers in water and unveiled the painting. Incredible shit, I’m telling you, THEY JUST DON’T MAKE 'EM LIKE THAT ANYMORE!.
Rick Derringer, ALL AMERICAN BOY
This little sun bitch rocked
Rolling Stones, STICKY FINGERS
My girlfriend (1975) loved this one, you know it was a big LP, with a life-size blue jeans with a big bulge, with a real zipper that could be unzipped to reveal…oh yeah, something else we had in common, we both dress right, ha!
Led Zeppelin, HOUSES OF THE HOLY
Contact buzz off this shit
King Crimson, COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING
One of my favorites

I think the white text is saying who plays what instruments. You can just make out some words. |

I would have to say, and it in no way reflects the album, SMYT is my personal least favorite FB cover.
I was alone...in my BIG BED
-bRIAN
That's weird, SMYT is my favorite. My least favorite would probably be FB&C, it just looks like crappy stock artwork.

it's tipping it down outside,
so I thought i'd bring my smoke in here where it's dry.
another favourite.
cool b-sides.
Oldman, i've never seen that 'You Ain't Me' cover before.
What does the white and red text say? |

I did almost the same stoned thing. I was staring at my new Pistolero's cover art for about an hour before realizing the bullets held the Catholic's images. Certain I had unlocked some great vision capability in myself- I had to go back and look at every single cd cover I owned to make sure I wasn't missing anything. I forget the outcome.
