Man two really bad covers - never liked the fireball cover, especially after "In Rock". So I'll go with Rainbow, not a bad pencil sketch but like I said I don't care much for it either.

I have to go with Fireball. Te Rainbow cover is just so dull.

I like the Rainbow one due to the colors and it's not as creepy as heads flying through space.

What colors? You mean beige? What's there to like about beige?

Bob-Don't you have beige colored stains under the pits of all of your white shirts? So you must like it to. I think the colors go well together and I like that they are fairly subtle for the 1970's which was a time when too many covers through too many wild colors on a cover at once.

I think the color scheme on the album was also the second choise as the color scheme for the Cleveland Browns' uniforms.

Bob-University of Wyoming has the great color scheme of brown, yellow and white.

Bad, yes, but Rainbow is more excusable

Always actually liked the Rainbow cover. I still have the original gatefold vinyl version too. Great album, wore out the grooves trying to learn Gates of Babylon.
