Many music aficionados will scoff at the idea of altering rock history's most iconic covers, but these reimagined album covers should convince the haters that a few adjustments give an entirely new, and sometimes better perspective.
One artist decided to see what it would look like if certain covers were observed from the reverse side. As such, he's taken work from the likes of The Beatles and Metallica, and drawn them from the rear. It's hilarious to see a policeman blowing his whistle in place of the famous four crossing the street. Perhaps this scene really did happen to avoid too many people getting in the way of this famous snapshot in time.
These reimagined album covers will have you thinking differently about music's famous vinyls.
