What issue is that? And what is "dama viajera" - "Lady Ace"?

A few that come to mind:

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"??

[Levgan]

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.

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.

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:

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.

[Jymbot]

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.

[zombywoof]

^ Don't forget the number of times that From Genesis to Revelation has been reissued with alternate cover art and title!!

[Jymbot]

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?

[Jymbot]

Im NOT speaking of the "Heavy Traffic" compilation '75 boxset .

Nice "Amoeni Recivivi" Immediate UK ? Beautiful Dean-like coverart with a white-haired, caped, demon-eyed keyboardist . Think it was a sampler of first two lps.

Daffodil Immediate series were all silver foil covers, all different coverarts. All had this Aubrey Beardsley -type art nouveau art.

Nice "same" lp and "Ars Longa Vita Brevis" were released on this foil series. Both have a woman reclining on a lounge , but not the identical picture.

[Jymbot]

This is the Daffodil Immediate series one I'm needing:

Oh God, those alternate Charly Gong covers are some of the most hideous ones imaginable. The Flying Teapot one is not bad (because it slightly resembles the original cover) but the rest...yuck! Especially that second You cover, which looks like it came from a kindergarten art class!

Incidentally, my original vinyl copy of Shamal looked like this:

Gong's US release of Gazeuse got a new cover (which I like better) AND a new title: Expresso:

I had the US version of Expresso (Gazeuse), then bought Gazeuse thinking it was a new Gong album. So there you go marketing worked on me. And the Genesis cover I believe that was the double album that came with a cool poster. Our local record store had that one up behind the checkout counter.

I have to go out now, but I am thinking Chicago Billingsgate label or Cosmos (Peters Int.???) label (Secret Oyster,Gary Moore Band,Ossana,Orme,Sahara) must have had some alternates.
Maybe someone could look those up?



Two rare ones that I had in the collection but foolishly got rid of ,never to find again, were Canadian (coffin) press of Pretty Things "SF Sorrow" and Bomb Label of first ...oh shit. Forget the band now. Was German prog.

I didn’t bother, as the Gold Rock series basically used the same stock cover with different band pictures stuck in the curved hole in the fabric.

Speaking of Emergency, though, their second album Entrance had two different covers, both pretty provocative (and I don’t know which was the original):

Here is the cover for the very rare "Beyond Leng" Le Orme compilation on Cosmos label.

A fine thing to have in the collection is Deep Purple "Scandinavian Nights" 2lp set with the COLOUR Bosch coverart.

I can't seem to find a piccy anywhere on the net.

I much prefer the U.S. In the Plain cover to the plain monochrome European cover.

The UK/US Mental Notes is actually Second Thoughts.

One I saw at the record store recently: Genesis’ In the Beginning (actually a reissue of FGTR):

That sucks - them using basically Reichmann "Wunderbar" cover for the Streetmark.
I suppose they did this rerelease, because Wolfgang Riechmann had died, before the release of his solo-album. They changed the order of the songs and left out one song.
When I heard Wunderbar for the first time, I thought Wolfgang Riechmann knew he would be dead soon. I did know he was dead, but I didn't know what had caused it. Much later I learned he was beaten to death.

This is one of the ugliest things ever. Now it’s a collector’s item. I have to admit, the fact that it unfolds into a giant, round poster is kind of cool, it’s just that the image on it is some of the most hideous “psychedelic” kitsch ever. Did Bowie even have any input into this monstrosity?

I had that version "Schwanenkonig". Got rid.

It’s the version I have. Bought it in Toronto from a store that was liquidating all of their vinyl for close-out prices back in 1993 (hindsight is 20/20, eh?).

Why you post the origional cover for "Svitane"?

Good response to this thread.

Too bad only one man is doing all the work.

And you call yourself a prog forum.

Shame.

Wow. Never heard of that Japanese "Weisse's".

Maybe if I figure how to post all at once to photobucket then send as a single post....don't count on it. (i'm on dial-up and for the Poor and Trampled-Upon photobucketting takes forever)

The Pythagoras cover is the original one, which is also used for the CD. A former friend of mine did the alternative cover with the bird, which also came in two versions. The first was a black drawing on a white background, but by a printing mistake, the next batch was a white drawing on a black background. I have both this, and the original cover. Alas I can't find the alternative cover on internet.
The cover had to be replaced, because the artist who did the original drawing, used for the cover, wouldn't give his permission. Things seems to have changed, since the CD comes in the original cover.
The group decided to use the drawing, without asking the artist for his permission, because they thought he wouldn't see it. Alas, the artist who did the drawing, used for the original cover, came to live in The Hague and saw his drawing in the window of the recordstore, the drummer owned.

Interesting to know.
So then my personal copy is the "common" black drawing on white back.

Any variation on "After the Silence" lp?

Rainbow band recorded this album twice with this cover - the difference was mainly the singer, but also a few tunes:

Then there was a lawsuit by a canadian band about the name, and they changed name to Midnight sun and released this album again - with this cover:

Colosseum: Valentyne Suite
http://www.discogs.com/Colosseum-Valentyne-Suite/master/37488

Released in the USA as The Grass is Always Greener, not 100% the same tunes, and a few tunes was from a different take. The cover was basicly the same except from the title. But they put a green filter on so text and photo got 'greenified'.
http://www.discogs.com/Colosseum-The-Grass-Is-Greener/release/1271392

On the cd version with both albums, they changed the original pink'ish letters to white'ish.

Thanks for the postings in this thread. It's been interesting to check in on it every couple days to see the lp covers and alternates. Won't be posting in the thread myself, but wanted you to know your efforts have been appreciated.

Thanks Don. Means a lot to me.

About Rainbow Band - I was meaning to bring this one up. Racking my brains, to no avail. Memory is going. Not a fine state of affairs for a prog masterman.
