Oooh!  Oooh!  A POLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hands down, no question, the clear cut winners are:

The Gered Mankowitz shots that appear on the inside right and rear of the
Lionheart GF LP cover (as well as the If You Could See Me Fly bootleg CD
and the Hammer Horror single).  The simple compositions set off by the
red backlights are, in one word, stunning.  Even in black and white (as
they appear in the Lioness At Heart booklet) they stand out as perfect
studies in portrait photography.

My least favorite?  Another no-brainer:

The Red Shoes.  150 square inches of LP cover -- and no Kate!
