Album Covers featuring Yawnsomely Literal Cover Art in regards to said album's title.

There's a lot of overlap - yawnsome literalness reflects the same basic impulses that lay behind the current thread's canonical entries.

That one still floors me with how cheap it looks... the lighting, the lettering... this is a solo debut from one of the leads of a mega-selling act and looks like Donnie Iris running out his contract.

That was kind of the point, Frey was supposed to be relaunching his career as the one Eagle ready for the 80s (see: The Long Run gatefold), and that's how they thought to present him.
I've mentioned this before, but one of the more interesting tales in Marc Eliot's Eagles book regards the unique problem Asylum faced when launching Henley's solo career: Here they had the voice behind several of the biggest hits of the seventies whose own name and face wasn't that familiar to the listenership because of the way the band didn't court the press in their heyday. Suddenly they were faced with this huge charisma-vacuum of a drummer turned leading man whom they were gonna have to sell to MTV.
They made him take dancing lessons.

Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce the release of a newly re-mastered edition of “Can I Have My Money Back?”, the classic debut solo album by the legendary singer-songwriter GERRY RAFFERTY. Recorded in 1971 for Transatlantic Records, the album followed Rafferty’s two albums as a member of The Humblebums with Billy Connolly.

And that makes total sense re: Frey and Henley. IMHO Frey looks like a complete lame-o trying to be the clean-cut Man of the Coming Decade (the iron-pumping probably didn't help matters) but I guess it worked out for him, and as a general rule I would have much preferred it if most of these artists continued having their own albums to do, long hair and all, than try to get hip to the sleek new styles.

obvious pun I missed:

The part of the pun I didn't get until last week was "two sides" = sides of a record.

listening to Clear Air Turbulence by Ian Gillan Band right now, lord the 70s really were a time, just like this goes between like hard rock and metal and AOR and jazz fusion at will, there's no other time an album like this could be made (and only by a self-indulgent rock star who was already established)
pretty good stuff

The cover of Two Sides of The Moon has a hole cut out where the car window is. The inner sleeve can be reversed to show two different images through the hole. The other side has his naked butt sticking out.
