Chicago - If You Leave Me Now (Columbia, Compilation, 1982) - Design by Roslav Szaybo, photography by Robin Clifford

Cash-grab alert! Cash-grab alert!

Yeah, just a random compilation of songs from the group's Columbia years. It was released to coincide with the group's return to popularity after the chart-topping single "Hard to Say I'm Sorry". This cover is probably the only appealing part of this album.

In West Germany, this album was known as The Feeling Of Chicago (A Collection Of Their Greatest Hits), the high heel was placed in a different position and the stairs were colored gold. At least they were more honest about the album's intentions than in the rest of the world.

Judas Priest ‎– Sin After Sin (1977) Artwork by Roslav Szaybo Full Album

[distortedidentity-blog]

JUDAS PRIEST Formed in: 1969 Sound: Heavy Metal

If the gothic logo was a great success, the next one was to become a real classic. Based on the futuristic lyrics on Priest’s fourth album, ‘Stained Class’ in 1978, Roslav Szaybo from CBS Records designed a whole graphic concept that went hand in hand with the music. Long gone was the gothic darkness; instead there is a science fiction themed artwork with a new ‘electrified’ Judas Priest logo. This logo remained almost unchanged until the American version of ‘Point Of Entry’ was released in February 1981.   –Kimmo Tattari
