Poor Van is often poorly served by his album covers. See for example “His Band And Street Choir” or “Veedon Fleece”. Rule is generally the better the album, the worse the sleeve. This gridded beauty is the chief exception to that rule.

My last Blue Note post for this month’s challenge. I like the subtlety of the italicised name. Astonishing that this great album was recorded just 2 days after Go.

Alongside Blue Note, my favourite record company has always been Island. Island covers were often thin stuff though. This was something of an exception.

A contrast to yesterday’s Blue Note cover where the artist is the focus - Gabriel’s early album covers tend to hide him away. This is the best cover of the four PG albums, imho.

Back to Blue Note. The best known Joe Henderson BN cover is probably “In ‘N’ Out” - but I like this one better. An uncoloured tricolour flag of a sleeve.

Back to Blue Note for another classic. We’re tricked into thinking it’s a piano but that’s not what they look like. Is it a depressed trumpet key? I think so.

Sleeves with gadgets is a whole other music challenge. Often they’re too clever by half and serve to detract from the content. Not this one, which is cool as you like and beautifully designed. Wish I had a copy that hinged open.
