Manic Street Preachers: Lifeblood
I love this cover for being both sexy and abstract at the same time. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Farrow design had commissioned extra photos from John Ross. Badabing! They feel a little Clockwork Orange to me for some reason.
These would work great as posters.
I also like this triptych below which was created by two singles and DVD release. Farrow mention on their website that they felt it was too good to waste at CD size. Which must be hard for many designers. A 12 inch cover really gives you a nice canvas size, can you imagine going to the Louvre and looking at all the art thats 12×12 cm? Artist knew back then new bigger was better.
