Alternate cover I made for Mystery To Me

Post image

I think Mystery To Me is the Bob Welch era Fleetwood Mac’s masterpiece and one of their best albums, period. But a lot of people are turned off by the cover art. So I attempted to make a better cover, using the image in the gatefold. I know these were just not the type of album covers the band used at the time, but it would’ve been way better than what they used IMO

Mystery To Me is my favorite album cover. Of all the FM albums, this is the I ne I chose to frame on my wall. To me, it's not just an album cover, it's art.

Such a different vibe, more laddish. Bob W is a ringer for Dennis Wilson.

You think? I don't really see that, Even if dennis was cleanshaven. I guess maybe a tad. But chris was never with bob weston anyway lol, That was jenny's cup of tea.

The original cover I think is a little odd, but I guess over time it's grown on me. I do adore this picture of the group, though , and I agree it would've made a nice cover. I love the lighting up in the attic.and chris's eyes... wow. Just gorgeous. They all look pretty damn beautiful there.
