"Fag for the corporal...!"

skirky's picture

I have the honour and privelige to host a small radio programme and during the course of our discussions this evening we wondered if we could do a whole show based around music from albums which have people smoking on the covers of them. So far we're down with Rickie Lee Jones, Bowie's Young Americans and Marianne Faithful and Broken English. Any more?
Minus points for anyone who flags up that 'Smoke, Smoke, Smoke' country album that regularly crops up in weird LP cover threads.

Hip hop & reggae

There are a tonne of hip-hop albums with 'bloods' 'blunting' (if that is a verb) on them. Like wise reggae.

If paintings are allowed

then there has to be "In the wee small hours"..
There's also David and David's "Boomtown", but the fag in David Baerwald's hand is just out of shot

Bob Marley - Catch a Fire

Original copies were in a sleeve that was shaped like a zippo lighter, flip top and all - I think the point is pretty clear. Later sleeves have Mr Marley smoking a thumping great roll-up. I assume it's just tobacco...

Tortoise on the Robert Crumb drawn cover of Cheap Thrills by Big Brother and the Holding Company. In fact it's smoking a cigar!
