My favorite is the Unity cover (top). I'm mulling over creating a paper sculpture based on this design. Luckily, Spector Gant has this album and so I'll be able to have a tangible reference at my disposal. Unluckily, the album is currently propped on my desk and is taunting me every single time I walk into the room. Oy!
