great album covers: YAZOO "Upstairs At Eric's"

I guess we are going to play this game of "one album cover leads to another by association". This time around it is Vince Clark's post Depeche Mode band Yazoo which gets a nod to a great design, with the band's debut album "Upstairs At Eric's". I do believe that in the 80s we started to see the decline of trying to come up with decent and visually stimulating record covers, soon to pave the way towards what we began to see in this decade and moving towards the 90s and subsequently into the digital age where album covers would be literally the size of a thumbprint on a small tactile screen. In essence, album designs become adapted to the actual format on which they are released (I'll get to that later with french band Niagara). Anyway, although I am not a real fan of Yazoo at all, this album cover was another great looking concept which also beld into the back cover, Something the art designers of the time took care in doing, creating a follow-though with their artwork. It's a great album cover which had both 70s sensibilities as well as that emerging "Miami Vice" type of loose fitting opaque colors 80s.
