The Rock til you drop cover was misleading I felt as it makes it look more like a cover for a live album with a shot of Rick and Francis during a concert, which I believe was a pic taken at the Minehead gig from 1990 when Anniversary Waltz seemed destined to be number 1. images.app.goo.gl/Je9W1Mz1aAAMSJDY6it was taken at, from memory, Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester - 7th June, 1991. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/BbRHxD0J/92-2.jpg) I'm surprised the pic from June was published so quickly as the album was released just 3 months later in September.

I've always liked it, it reminds me a bit of the David Gilmour wire sculpture he used as a logo for a while. Of course QPQ is even simpler, but there's something iconic about it. ![](https://www.neptunepinkfloyd.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2006/02/wireman-album.gif) It's funny, when the music itself suffered, so did the album artwork (Rockin, Heat, 82, BTB, Army and everything after that until HT). So Dog to Live and then WYW to NTL, all great album covers and great music. I would say Blue For You is my all time fave. Not just the cover shot but the whole package and whole visual feel of that album. Extremely well done. Well, PR and TW have interesting covers but the music is just so-so, RTYD and UTI (original) have pretty boring covers but are great albums. So it varies.

The back cover on the RTYD album was also taken at the same gig. Incidentally the gig was billed as Quo co headlining with Rod (not support) Joe Cocker was supporting. The ticket stubs were massive. At the time Rod was promoting his Vagabond heart album & Quo had nothing out until late September. Great package & 260k tickets sold across the summer shows.

If You Can't Stand The Heat had a great cover - although it was a tad misleading!
Back To Back was a dreadful cover - the contents were equally dreadful

As it's my favourite album by anyone it has to be Hello. But Quo and Piledriver would be in the mix. Big shout out to Blue For You, I think it summed up the look of the band in the summer of 1976!

He seemed to have a decent working relationship with Status Quo around this time, so it doesn't surprise me that he was exempt from the 3 songs and out rule. I think the photography on the Live Alive Quo packaging was also his work, but I can't be too sure as there are no credits (from memory). ![](https://i.postimg.cc/tgqXqDgg/242-George-Bodnar.jpg)

For me, Quo, On the Level, Live and Perfect Remedy (I love it as a child, still do, love the colors and the image of the guitars, even when the music was...that)

On The Level, Quo and never too late
If forced to choose, Quo. For the FF era, it's only WYW I don't like
I'm not mad on heat and don't like Army much, but I love those covers
After Army, I really like HT. Most of the album covers after army have been very poor. Sometimes the band has seemed very detached from the fans - I can't think of other bands whose fans wince at some of the album covers. 4th chord and stripped bare are turned inside out in my house. I wish I'd thought of doing that when ain't complaining came out!

Tough one, narrowed it down to:
Hello Quo Dog
On the Level and Piledriver not far behind .
Blue for You and Live
Then after that I dont think anything really stands out.
Happy to make a T out of the top 3 , I prefer a small breast pocket type design .

Strange bill.

Been to worse I suppose. I was waiting on Stay With Me and Pool Hall Richard but it was like waiting on Someone's Learning. He's not that act anymore
