Elton John - Madman Across The Water

This is Elton's fourth studio album. Art Direction/design/illustrations by David Larkham. Photography by Bob Gruen and that is why I added it seeing as the cover itself is pretty horrible. The needle and thread is an amazing tool for creating good design but here it just looks childish and yeah, ugly.
But since Bob has been involved I thought it might be worth a post. If you don't know who Bob is, shame on you. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Gruen
