A favorite in the broad spectrum of album cover art: Paul McCartney’s BAND ON THE RUN, featuring Paul and Linda, Denny Laine, and six special guests: boxer John Conteh (far right), broadcast journalist Michael Parkinson (far left), singer/songwriter Kenny Lynch (behind Paul), Clement Freud (behind Linda), and in the back, James Coburn and Christopher Lee.

For me, it’s playful, surprising, and very memorable. I especially like the contrast between Parkinson’s finger gun and Lee’s absolutely deadly trapped-animal glare.
