I hate the summer for two reasons: firstly I turn redder than an embarrassed raspberry and secondly no one releases albums because it’s festival season. Thankfully I found two which met the high bar set by my fussy self. Above is the Benny Andersson Band cover which does a great job with a simple bit of type nicely placed in an attractive photograph. It’s certainly not a wonderful design we’ll be talking about for weeks here but it’s a solid piece of work that does its job well.

We also have this rather nifty cover from the Engineers. I like the Stag very much.
