Cheers. Good call on the Tunnel vision and transmission sleeves - both great. ACR for definite should have taken advice on the first few records - think 'To Each...' is possibly one of the worst album sleeves I've ever seen. The johnson/ panas sleeves for 'Life's a scream' and 'Brazilia' are pretty good.
For me, 'Always now' is too rich a sleeve, clash of two styles,overcomplicated though in a weird way interesting....can't decide on it - think the marble inner design would have looked better in brown.

"To Each..." is indeed dreadful. The aeroplane-y ones are better, I agree.
Interesting about "Always Now", I like the fact that you can't see the marbling until you open the package up. There's some kind of odd insert too, I seem to remember. Talking of which, I should probably have added "Another Setting" with its (supposedly perfumed) die-cut insert.

Cheers Keith, CDs are generally a poor second cousin when it comes to artwork. 'Very' is one of the more imaginative uses of the CD case. There's also a two-CD version - Very/Relentless - in a see-through rubbery lego-esque outer.

This is such a super long thread that I'm going to skip to the end and just list some instead of reading all of it to see if some of mine have already been listed. Lazy? Yes.
Sonic Boom - Spectrum (twirly whirly fun)
Rolling Stones - Exile On Main Street (many an hour spent checking all the pics)
Funkadelic - Funkadelic (love the circle of trippy faces)
Pixies - Surfer Rose (wonderful boobs)
Sonic Youth - Goo (it's just dead cool) - Sister and Evol too
Stooges - Raw Power (iconic pic)
Miles Davis - Dark Magus (jagged, electric, distorted)
......bum, my mind is shutting down, there's too many.........
