Many album covers have hidden messages placed there by the band or artist. Have you seen any of these?

This was kinda fun. Didn't know about the Supertramp-9/11 thing (?!) A couple of other things: On the cover of Steve Miller's 1st album, "Children of the Future", there's a line of dis-connected psychedelic "blobs" running across the front and back of the cover...if you open up the gatefold and read between the blobs, (the pink space) it spells out the title. I discovered this by accident. (no drugs involved) Also, not hidden tho, on the Led Zeppelin IV album, scratched into the blank vinyl just next to the label, are the words "Do what thou wilt." A phrase coined by Aleister Crowley, who Jimmy Page was a fan (?) of. A practioner of Black magic, and once called "the most evil man on earth." (paraphrasing).

I remember buying albums purely from how the cover caught my eye and sometimes I would discover a new band this way and would become a fan. Of course there was some stinkers in there too.

Speaking of code, Paul McCartney and Wings' Red Rose Speedway album of 1973 had a Braille Code message embossed on the back side of the album cover. I didn't know what it was until I read in the papers that it read "We love ya baby", and Paul & Linda wrote it because they were fans of Stevie Wonder.

It was suppose to be about how things were being torn down and replaced by ugly modern structures. As you see when you open up the cover and see its a partially torn down house. The picture was Roberts and they probably thought it looked cool and was a mysterious type image, the last part is my own assumption. It was really a shot at the press about Zeppelin being all hype. So they released an album with no mention of the band or its members on the cover or the spine of the album. They wanted to show that the album would sell without any names or outward recognition of the band, just an album and music, no hype or marketing ploys. So the album being without mention of the band was to spite the press, the images on the cover between making an environmental complaint and having cool and mysterious images made for a iconic cover to a iconic album.

In the movie "WRONG IS RIGHT", several groups pursue a pair of atomic bombs in suitcases. At the very end of the film, they're discovered on top of the World Trade Center and disarmed moments before detonation. "Very convenient", says journalist Patrick Hale. Because of threats (ALLEGEDLY!) made by a middle eastern terrorist, this leads directly to the US invading an oil-rich country ON FALSE PRETENSES. In effect, the film was predicting "9-11" and the 2nd invasion of Iraq. The movie came out in 1982. Legend has it it was pulled from theatres after one week on orders from the Federal government. It was based on a novel by an EX-C.I.A. operative... who apparently knew what he was writing about. But there's more! It's not enough the film predicted something 2 decades beforehand. The characters include a skinny old US president, a BLACK WOMAN V.P., and a totally-insane EX-President who's running for re-election. In effect, it also predicted the Biden administration.

The Supertramp cover is even creepier because the view is from the inside of a commercial airliner. (Notice the window on the left side).
This was kinda fun. Didn't know about the Supertramp-9/11 thing (?!) A couple of other things: On the cover of Steve Miller's 1st album, "Children of the Future", there's a line of dis-connected psychedelic "blobs" running across the front and back of the cover...if you open up the gatefold and read between the blobs, (the pink space) it spells out the title. I discovered this by accident. (no drugs involved) Also, not hidden tho, on the Led Zeppelin IV album, scratched into the blank vinyl just next to the label, are the words "Do what thou wilt." A phrase coined by Aleister Crowley, who Jimmy Page was a fan (?) of. A practioner of Black magic, and once called "the most evil man on earth." (paraphrasing).
As a vinyl collector , i’am amazed at some of these that got by me !! Some of them were discovered when i was “ high” .. Hey !! That’s how it was back than 😳

I also must add that I miss album covers and liner notes in today's digital age. I remember buying albums purely from how the cover caught my eye and sometimes I would discover a new band this way and would become a fan. Of course there was some stinkers in there too.

Some fun ones I never knew before - glad to have the Mars Hotel album decoded! Speaking of code, Paul McCartney and Wings' Red Rose Speedway album of 1973 had a Braille Code message embossed on the back side of the album cover. I didn't know what it was until I read in the papers that it read "We love ya baby", and Paul & Linda wrote it because they were fans of Stevie Wonder.

The biggest ironic sight I could ever imagine and the exact opposite of what the movement stood for: A GAP store!!! A huge symbol of consumerism and big business, exactly what the hippie movement was rebelling against!

It was suppose to be about how things were being torn down and replaced by ugly modern structures. As you see when you open up the cover and see its a partially torn down house. The picture was Roberts and they probably thought it looked cool and was a mysterious type image, the last part is my own assumption. It was really a shot at the press about Zeppelin being all hype. So they released an album with no mention of the band or its members on the cover or the spine of the album. They wanted to show that the album would sell without any names or outward recognition of the band, just an album and music, no hype or marketing ploys. So the album being without mention of the band was to spite the press, the images on the cover between making an environmental complaint and having cool and mysterious images made for a iconic cover to a iconic album.

You missed so much on Satanic Majesties Request. The whole 3D cover is Beatles references. Two items that come to mind. A revolver and a glass onion can be found there. If you tilt it the right way you can see what looks like Mexican soldiers charging something. This I interpreted to be “Revolution “. In my option this was the best album cover of all time. I feel it is such a shame they just used a regular photo for later reissued of this album. The 3D cover was sheer genius.

In the movie "WRONG IS RIGHT", several groups pursue a pair of atomic bombs in suitcases. At the very end of the film, they're discovered on top of the World Trade Center and disarmed moments before detonation. "Very convenient", says journalist Patrick Hale. Because of threats (ALLEGEDLY!) made by a middle eastern terrorist, this leads directly to the US invading an oil-rich country ON FALSE PRETENSES. In effect, the film was predicting "9-11" and the 2nd invasion of Iraq. The movie came out in 1982. Legend has it it was pulled from theatres after one week on orders from the Federal government. It was based on a novel by an EX-C.I.A. operative... who apparently knew what he was writing about. But there's more! It's not enough the film predicted something 2 decades beforehand. The characters include a skinny old US president, a BLACK WOMAN V.P., and a totally-insane EX-President who's running for re-election. In effect, it also predicted the Biden administration.
