Vanilla Fudge--Vanilla Fudge | The Story Behind the Album Cover Art

Send us Fan Mail Released one day after Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band at the absolute peak of the Summer of Love, Vanilla Fudge may have delivered the ultimate psychedelic album cover. A mysterious solarized golden woman dissolving into light… a band that looked like clean-cut lounge musicians on the back sleeve but sounded like an acid trip on the front… and a cover that seemed to melt reality the same way the music melted pop songs. Who was the unidentified woman on the cover? Who was the mysterious Lucy Monaco the album was dedicated to? And how did a 19th-century French photographic accident become one of psychedelia’s defining visual styles? Grab a copy and listen along with us.
