I think we used to have a thread like this, but maybe it's time for a new one. Anyway I know many of you are creative people, and i've definitely seen some amazing designs on here before *cough earcandy cough* Let's share our fake album covers! I just made this one for my Beach Boys collection on itunes, and although its not very good I like it enough!

I don't have my own but I recently was at a bookshop and saw "The Greatest Albums You'll Never Hear" and was stoked to see a Smile album cover I'd never seen before in the book. Very 60's-ish flower-power-esque design with "Smile" in it's usual font. Though it was pretty cool as I don't see too many alternate Smile covers that differ too much from the original. Sadly, I haven't been able to locate it online since then, seems as though the creators of the book made up an original design. If any of you are mad enough to search for it, I'd be grateful to see the image posted. They had a badass one for The Who's Lifehouse album as well that seems to be an original too.

It’s going to be the greatest tribute album ever made.

Classic! That just made me roar! We could probably take this thread in a totally different (and wrong!) direction speculating song titles!

That's a beautiful SMiLE album cover you posted Dudd, I absolutely love it! Here are some I've made: Group Therapy Break Away Add Some Music Pet Sounds (Nothing changed besides track listing!) Summer's Gone (The original name for the album) Fun Fun Fun (I couldn't find a high quality scan of the 1980's reissue, so I made my own. It's just a much better album title than Shut Down Volume 2!)

Funny that you should mention the Shut Down Vol.II 80's reissue being named Fun,Fun,Fun, because that was the original name for the album before Shut Down Vol. II according to the Master Tape Boxes for the sessions.

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

Found it! Hah nice. Maybe I didn't try hard enough. Thanks mate - methinks I'll paste this into my Smile cover art. I dig the foresty-looking design as well. Very original.

I thought that Le'id in Hawaii cover was perfect... incredibly well made... looks like its right out of the Capitol design department circa 1967. I actually have a screen grab of that cover on my phone.
Did you ever do a back cover?

Not exactly an album cover. But couldn't resist anyway.

not my designs, but I agree on the Lei'd In Hawaii cover. it's great... although the black & white photo doesn't quite fit, in my opinion here's my alternate:

Some of these are absolutely brilliant! I'm definitely using them for some of my "homemade albums" on iTunes.
