Giger was with the album cover for Emerson, Lake and Palmer’s 1973 Brain Salad Surgery, which featured a fold out, multi layered piece of die-cut art. I saw it at least six months after its late ’73 release date, as I lived in a small town at the time. As an aside, the title song Brain Salad Surgery was so bad, it wasn’t released with the album, but only on a 45 rpm single released separately (the flip side was the original recording of Father Christmas, if I recall). They kept the title for the album, but threw out the song, oh well.

I still have one of his posters on my wall as a matter of fact.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18286585667808822050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423050459919800481.post-68159707989869433702014-05-13T05:18:22.508-07:002014-05-13T05:18:22.508-07:00@CoastConFan

Back in 2010 I did a tribute youtube video on him with a little bit of a Lovecraft slant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7qMQtJcn6k CoastConFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07250561260148656254noreply@blogger.com
