Eight more moons to savour.
Any favourites here? Curious about any of the albums?
Thought you’d have Camel’s Moonmadness in there.

A dreadful oversight on my part, Graham. Please accept this small gesture of apology…

Another great album/band name: Safari Dawn! 🙂 Interesting that Klaus Schulze has two moon offerings here, and Santana has one in each of your moon-themed posts. Love the shot on the Moonflower sleeve…wonder where it was taken…will consult Google.

I’ve been able to verify that the photographer is Yoshikazu Shirakava, but can’t confirm the location…it’s probably either the Himalayas or the Alps.

That’s interesting. Sounds like another Japanese connection for Santana. The incredible cover for their/his previous live opus, Lotus, was by a Japanese artist. (link to post)

Aligned again, JDB. The Moonflower shot is superb.

*** oh hey, and it’s a vertical gatefold. Did we miss this way back when??

Yes! And Yes! I remember when I bought it, on the basis of ‘Radar Love’. Quite a racy cover for the times.

Isn’t there a Keith Moon one with buttocks on it?

There is indeed. ‘Both sides of the Moon’. From memory the, er, mooning, is on the inside of the gatefold.
I’ll let you take it from here.

1537 stole my thunder and yes you get to see Moon’s moon unless he was to shy and had a photo double.
Again i know a few of those but will be checking out a couple others. Does Moon Martin count?

What a CV entry that would be. ‘I was Mr Keith Moon’s bottom double’.
Consulted the referee on Moon Martin. If he had a self-titled album, that would be permissible. 😉

I’m looking for a few minutes of fame. Even if I have to lie and be exposed later as an ass.
That’s a tough ref. But I will live with the decision so I can play again.

Santana’s Moonflower. The art is wonderful. I’d buy that regardless of the quality of the music. How is it, though?

Hi J. It’s a rather tasty mixture of live and studio material. The hit cover of the Zombies “She’s not there” is fun, but the rest is probably more Santana-ish! Tom Coster’s keyboard work is exemplary throughout.
