Subject: Gatefold Album Covers... new collection I was thinking of working on

Written By: ChuckyG on 10/12/10 at 11:25 pm

A gatefold album cover, was generally either a double record or a single record that would fold out and give you a very large cover.  I couldn't really find a good repository of these types of images online anywhere.  Probably because it does require you to have a large scanner and even then you have to still stitch them together.

some examples I did quickly last night.
Queen, "News of the World"

Pink Floyd Meddle comes to mind.

The gatefold pic for ZZ Top's "Tres Hombres" is a Tex-Mex lover's vision of heaven:
