Hey everyone!
I just picked up a copy of "Leave It' (UK 12" by Yes); I used to have the 7" many years ago. I knew at the time the cover was designed by Assorted Images, and always loved it.
I always really loved the cover to "The Flat Earth" by Thomas Dolby (very "Wild-Boys" like in terms of design) as well - another AI design.
Curious as to what other Assorted Images covers my comrades here think are awesome. (Not including D2/Arcadia...)

Malcolm Garrett's work with Simple Minds was superb, particularly Sons & Fascination, and New Gold Dream albums. Didn't like the Sparkle In The Rain cover though. And his cover for Buzzcocks' Another Music in a Different Kitchen album also great. And the cover for their Orgasm Addict single is considered fairly iconic.

Iconic to me and, because the sleeve design looks like the music sounds: (this might be a retrospective sensation, though...)
Level 42's True Colours album and single releases, Kajagoogoo's The Lion's Mouth, Genesis' Invisible Touch Album, Peter Gabriel's Us album & singles and, again, Simple Minds' Street Fighting Years album, singles and the great Themes box set series.

Totally forgot they did that! Yeah, Real World - that's an iconic graphic to me. I mean, I can't imagine Peter Gabriel's "Passion" cover WITHOUT those colour blocks - wouldn't look the same (or as good)!
