          Band on the Run by an absolute mile, or kilometre depending on your geographical location. And whilst I may bemoan the lost opportunity of At the Speed of Sound as a capitalising album, I quite like the simplicity of that cover. Hasn't aged. Don't have too many issues with Tug of War either. Some real howlers in the mix, but. Whereas, the Beatles covers were either iconic at the time, and/or still timeless. Who else could get away with a white album cover?... AC/DC might have with Back in Black.

                      Covers I love- Venus and Mars Tug of War Chaos and Creation New Covers I don't like- Back to the Egg Give My Regards to Broadstreet An interesting one is Memory Almost Full. I love it from an artistic standpoint, but I think it was a poor choice for Paul from a marketing standpoint.

                          Tug of War is the first cover that comes to mind. It matches the album very well.

                            I think "Tug Of War" is the best and "Off The Ground" is the worst.

                            Maybe I'm amazed !!

                              Off the Ground is one of those covers that someone decided to take too literally. Like Band on the Run. Imagine if they did that with Kisses on the Bottom.
