Chas Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Judging by your example it seems you have psychedelic covers in mind . The problem with that is that we could fill dozens of pages with rock covers fitting that description . Trying to limit it to jazz covers would make things more challenging and keep the thread from being so bloated that few will bother reading it . Anyway let's start with a few psychedelic jazz covers.... Quote

BillF Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) the monkey? why does it symbolise drugs? Something to do with a monkey on his back? Except it's not on his back! ("I've got a monkey on my back" = "I'm addicted".) I must say this interpretation never occurred to me and I think it's very unlikely that it was intended by either Blue Note or McLean.

I think the reference I picked up somewhere, might have been in the Penguin guide (they thought it was ironic or something, that the monkey on the cover sort of un-disguised McLean's habit, but I'm sure what it exactly said).
