3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul - I came to this album backwards. Through De La Soul Is Dead, back to the beginning. I didn't know any of the songs. And then I pressed play. Here's the story behind the cover that changed hip hop.
Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses - The cross and skulls design is the cover everyone knows. But there was another one. Most of the world never saw it.
Lovesexy by Prince - Most call it audacious. I call it confidence. There's a difference.
Thriller by Michael Jackson - The white suit on the cover of the best selling album in history wasn't Michael's. It belonged to the photographer. And the tiger kept wandering off.
Licensed to Ill by Beastie Boys - I thought it was their private jet. Three lads flying somewhere loud and probably illegal.
Kick by INXS - Michael Hutchence owned that cover. But whose feet are on the skateboard at the top?
