Sgt. Pepper's & Abbey Road: Pop artist Peter Blake and Jann Haworth designed Sgt. Pepper's famous collage, winning a Grammy for Best Album Cover. Abbey Road was photographed by Iain Macmillan in a quick 10-minute shoot outside EMI Studios, creating one of the most parodied images in history.
The Bob Seger System (Ramblin' Gamblin' Man): Features an iconic, striking blue illustration by Thomas Warkentin, an artist and animator later celebrated for his work on classic comic strips like Popeye.
McKenna Mendelson Mainline (Stink): Notable for its raw, gritty, counter-culture photography captured by acclaimed Canadian photographer John Rowlands, who famously documented major rock acts throughout the 1960s and 70s.
