Analyzing album covers: Rumours

[drzubritsky]

Totally iconic and almost beyond any objective or subjective analysis at this point. But there is one thing about the Rumours cover that always bugged me: while the shot of Mick and Stevie is great, the way they cut them out and pasted it onto that beige background looks a bit cheap and amateurish. I suppose there wasn't enough of a plain white background on the original plate to fill the entire album cover. But surely they could have blended the photograph background in rather than the cut-out method.
