Wolves have never been more fashionable - at least if you go by CD covers! Always an interesting beast in iconic terms, the wolf is here featured on albums in a wide range of different styles. Nice to see Frazetta's work getting another outing with Wolfmother, but I particularly like the imagery on that Tongue cover.
