The work of H.R. Giger is immensely powerful. Giger's amazing cover for  Emerson, Lake and Palmer's album Brain Salad Surgery portrays a Gothic  touch that could fit any heavy metal band at any time. Giger's cover, Koo Koo , for Debbie Harry is tremendously sensual, building  on the image she developed as a rock 'n' roll Marilyn Monroe long before anyone  else tried it. Debbie Harry's sexuality was hidden rather than blatant and that's  continued here with a fabulous extension of her image. Jimmy Page, November 1990 Excerpt from the Introduction to the book published in conjunction with The Record Art Collection Limited Edition Rock 'n' Roll Art Prints
A NOTE FROM H.R. GIGER ABOUT HIS ALBUM COVERS Of the, approximately, 20 records on which my artwork has been seen over the last 30 years, very few were created, specifically, for album covers. The first one, ever, was for a band called Walpurgis in 1969, then Emerson Lake and Palmer's 'Brain Salad Surgery' in 1973, Debbie Harry's 'Koo Koo' in 1981, and a series of 'lip' paintings which I made for ELP in 1986, that the group, finally, used on a CD they released in the mid 1990s. The last cover I, actually, painted as a commission was Steve Stevens & the Atomic Playboys in 1989. All the others paintings, including the sculpture used for Carcass’ “Heartwork”, 1993, I made for myself, many years before, which the bands, later, licensed for their own use after seeing them in my books. ALBUM COVER PHOTOS Unfortunately, there have also been many small bands over the years, presumably fans of mine, who had appropriated my artwork for their album and CD covers. I find it very disappointing that, even today,  it continues to happen. But, through the Internet and the help of the many vigilant fans who help me guard against such unauthorized use of my art, I always hear about it, sooner or later, and my agent and my lawyers are glad take care of it. There are always a few such cases pending and, for the violators of my copyright, it will, now, cost a lot more than if they had first contacted me, through my agent, to ask for my permission. H.R.

개인적으로 Danzig III - How the Gods Kill 앨범 커버가 제일 맘에 드는 군요.
