great piano music album covers

[49410enrique]

hopefully this will get lots of replies as there are a lot of great cd/lp images out there, thought it'd be fun to post great 'album' art, doesn't have to be classical art music or even just solo (casting a wide net) just that it be a music album and feature at least one solo or collaborative piano work (i.e. chamber musisc, orchestra plus piano, jazz group, or even a band that heavily relies on keybaord instruments).

i'll start with a few of my favorties (that i know off right now, i'll dig more up later)

Isn't that nasty...

Well, the first of these does it for me in one sense, although seeing it on a cover remains questionable; never having been a fan of upright pianos (most of which, for me, fall into a category for which my personal sobriquet is "downright pianos"), the conflagrante pictured seems to me eminently delicto (with no disrespect intended towards the pianist Carlo Grante, of course).

I'll refrain from comment on the second one...

Best,

Another use for an old upright. 

Practice tuning/how does it work
Charity catapults
One time "on fire" performance
Artwork/furniture

Except, yes, it's an upright.  I don't think I'd want to be associated with that for a real CD or to have an offbrand upright.  But there's no point burning a decent piano.
and now.. album cover art

Probably you've been stunned by her beauty....just kidding.

Anyway, another one:

lol i think we could also add burrito salsa bar...

[49410enrique]

a little 'risque' for some, but c'mon folks this is art, our history and boobies are forever intertwined



(*seriously no offense intended if it really is 'too much' for the site it will be taken down, but the album cover is fantastic, actually most of the scriabin piano ones are...)

Did anyone else notice that right away?  It really caught my attention.  That's a Yamaha piano in one of those pictures.

[pianoplayjl]

And the rather attractive women too who is attracted to the piano rather than the pianist in my opinion. This is like brand advertising just like when Coke inserts it's products in movies!

I wonder if the more outrageous the album art, the lesser the known the performer.  Some of those 60s and 70s ones... I've never of heard of them.  I'm only recognizing a few names.

Interesting thread.

[pianoplayjl]

I so love that one....
