Today's album of the day is Heroes by David Bowie, released on this date in 1977
The cover photo, like Iggy Pop's The Idiot, is a nod to the painting Roquairol by the German artist Erich Heckel.

It's our anniversary, and there was a Bad Bunny album released on this date, but it was the one @beckyhammer.bsky.social hates, so I really dodged a bullet

Today's album of the day is Tusk by Fleetwood Mac, released on this date in 1979
Larry Vigon, who served as the album's designer, reached out to Peter Beard after seeing some of his artwork in one of his journals, which included sundry items such as feathers, dried leaves, and newspaper headlines. Beard, who specialised as a documentary photographer, was enlisted by Vigon to supply images for the album sleeve and spent two weeks in the recording studio taking Polaroids of the band and its inner circle. He also augmented this footage with images of elephant tusks. During one of those sessions, Beard took a photo of Caillat's dog biting his leg, which ultimately became the cover art for Tusk. Fleetwood had originally promised Nicks that the cover art would feature an image of her twirling and dancing; Nicks later told Caillat that she placed a curse on his dog for "stealing her cover".

I'd never really heard much ABBA aside from the major singles, and well, turns out there's a reason for that

Today's album of the day is Arrival by ABBA, released on this date in 1976
The album cover shots were taken of the group posing in and out of a Bell 47 helicopter at the Barkarby Airport, northwest of Stockholm. The now-renowned "mirrored-B" copyrighted ABBA logo, an ambigram designed by Rune Söderqvist in 1976, was also premiered on this album cover.
