It was quite a challenge by 1974. Which camera or format did you use to take this album cover photograph Edmond Jay Caraeff? Regards<br />P.S.

Kinda reiterates the taunting "Daddy, I'm no virgin" line from the previous album. I'm buying this theory. It's a sly, humorous way to be provocative. Sounds like Carly to me! <br /><br />Carole King was pregnant on her "Music" album cover but covered by her piano. Rosanne Cash also on Rhythm & Romance, but her maternity clothes mask it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135704507956502747.post-16112965201057399612011-08-10T00:07:32.816-04:002011-08-10T00:07:32.816-04:00i agree. i never thought how ground-breaking this ...i agree. i never thought how ground-breaking this image was/is. although her playing possum cover was post birth showing off an amazing body - carly remains an original. i have always loved this photo of her and i remember my brother giving this album to me for christmas. wrapped cleverly with an empty lipton tea box to disguise the "album" shape!!meg manion sillikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233694475886546290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135704507956502747.post-36299843372611177352011-06-11T20:01:56.722-04:002011-06-11T20:01:56.722-04:00It never occurred to me before that the HOTCAKES a...It never occurred to me before that the HOTCAKES album cover was so incredibly original and/or even radical for the time....(perhaps it still is!)<br /><br />How did the significance and uniqueness of this cover escape me after all these years? Isn't it ironic that all the attention to Carly's groundbreaking album cover work is focused on her sensual and sexy album covers? it would have been so business as usual to 'cover up' the pregnancy on the album cover, but once again Carly comes out with a cover that says 'here I am world!' <br /><br />She is no cookie cutter artist! <br /><br />Thank you for pointing out yet another example of how truly creative, open and forward-thinking Carly Simon is!B_4https://www.blogger.com/profile/06064893834238018097noreply@blogger.com
