I remember seeing Elton John at Wembley for the Captain Fantastic tour and him apologising for the cost of the album which he said was because of the special 'story book' production.
Of course, the Stones had 'Sticky Fingers' with a zip on it and Santanic Majesty's Request with the lensy thing on it.
Pink Floyd had a few http://albumcovergallery.blogspot.co.uk ... art-1.html
