This album cover was controversial taking inspiration from the real life Hindenburg tragedy. The designer referenced an infamous photo taken at the event by photographer Sam Shere. The artist George Hardie took influences from Andy Warhol and pop art at the time to use this classic rendition of the photo without infringing on any copyright.
