That Ween cover is almost as great as the music on the disc.
I've always been fond of Cal Schenkel's artwork. I own a painting he did of the Uncle Meat cover, actually. If only Gail Zappa would sell this collage:

The two black half-circles unfold to reveal four full circles of amazing drawings. The vinyl is a triple gatefold that has one circle per fold, save for the back. I also bought a poster that has the designs on it.

Seeing that cover hurts, because I was an inch away from having gone to see Pink Floyd during their Learning to Fly tour, but the dripping sore of a sphincter boy sold the tickets to someone else.
