The Lockdown Playlist
Songs from Albums with Iconic Covers
___________
THIS Lockdown Playlist is a bit special…
as I wanted to mark thirty years of an iconic album cover being shot. On 23rd May, 1991, photographer Michael Lavine took what would be the publicity shots for Nirvana's Nevermind album at Jay Aaron Studios in Los Angeles. The idea for the front cover shot of the baby swimming was taken after Kurt Cobain and Dave Grohl saw a T.V. documentary on water babies and was taken by Kirk Weddle. Several babies were used; five-month-old Spencer Eldon's photo came out best. Many consider that cover to be the finest of all-time. Because of this, I thought I would include a song from Nevermind…but I also want to source songs from albums that have eye-grabbing covers. Here is a collection of songs from albums where you are hooked and mesmerised…
