'Abbey Road', yet it strikes me as funny that it became such an iconic cover. I wonder if would've been the same if the album was one of their worst.
Interesting point ... and I wonder if it helps to make the album 'great' ?
My favorites were the American releasd capitol lable lps...The Beatles 2nd album(1964) and the Beatles IV(1965) they were just too Kool.
Abbey Rd cover goes well with the music, it looks and sounds like summer !
Funny, I've always thought 'Abbey Road' to be their least "sunny" record. 'Here Comes The Sun' is the obvious exception, but other than that, not much happiness or optimism there.
A cover I really like but almost forgot is the With the Beatles/ Meet the Beatles black and white cover photo. Very artsy and moody. Not bad for 1963.
they completely ruined it by printing reviewers quotes all over the front
