Community Description – Album Artwork Heaven

It is an community about album covers so the music itself isn't necessarly good music

Welcome to Album Artwork Heaven — a cozy corner of Lemmy dedicated to celebrating the visual side of music! 🎶🖼️
This community is all about sharing, discovering, and appreciating album covers, music-related artwork, and the creative design that brings sound to life through imagery. Whether it’s vintage vinyl sleeves, modern digital art, obscure indie releases, or iconic classics — if it’s beautiful, striking, or just plain weird, it belongs here.

Very Loose Rules:

  1. Keep it music-related – Posts should feature album art, cover art, or artwork directly tied to a musical release (EPs, singles, mixtapes, etc. count too!).
  2. Be respectful – No hate speech, harassment, or spam. Critique art, not people.
  3. Credit when possible – If you know the artist, designer, or band, please mention them! (But don’t worry if you’re not sure.)
  4. No NSFW without tagging – If an album cover contains nudity please mark it as NSFW.
  5. Have fun and share generously! – This is a low-pressure zone for art and music lovers. Re-posts are fine, obscure gems are encouraged, and enthusiasm is always welcome.

Come for the covers, stay for the sonic stories behind them. 🎧✨

I just always assumed it was paint/pencils, but I have bad eyesight. Is it definitely a doctored photograph?

The plane window surround may have been airbrushed, as that was a very common technique in album art at that time, but the main subject and city were photographs.
