Gasper action on album covers
Posted by Patrick Crowther on 18 January 2010 - 9:52pm.
The Bobby Hutcherson record in the thread below this shows him enjoying a gasper. Now kids, we all know that smoking isn't cool. But as all sane adults know, it is where musicians are concerned. Even if it's not very good for them.
So what are the album covers with the best use of that stupid git Walter Raleigh's gift to the world?

May I offer up for your delight and delectation...
In my youth I spent far too long looking for
Chesterfield Kings.
Rock stars are a bad influence....
I smoked Chesterfield for around 5 years...
solely because of that line in that song.
She was once the future Mrs. C. you know ...
Sinatra
Now he knew how to hold a cigarette.
Van Halen 1984
Haven't we done this?

Thanks, Nick!
Smoke-wreathed blue-eyed soul. Brilliant!

Now, there's a "tab" for yu
I also struggle to make pictures appear...
...but there's only some fag action on the front of the greatest album ever! Well, my favourite at least. Tom Waits has clearly nipped out for a quick toke on 'Heart of Saturday Night'. He's got to keep that voice in shape...
Smoking - not cool?
I think you'll find it is - see World's Coolest Bloke Ever on the left.
...and we can't forget Russell Harty's old sparring partner...
More recently
Isn't the fella on the front of the Arctic Monkeys first LP sucking on a gasper?
The Dame again
Didn't do Apollonia 6 any harm....
...I mean, just look at her.
I'd also like to mention the HJH's
'Abbey Road' & 'A Hard Day's Night' for some subtle placement.
See thread, passim.
