Solo album covers that feature someone else (not the artist) on the cover

The only one I can think of (other than large group shots like George Michael's Listen Without Prejudice) is this classic:



Incidentally, for anyone who doesn't know the story, this cover couldn't be used on the US release of this album due to different copyright laws - no-one knows who this person is, and in the US the record company needed his permission to use this (I guess that's not the case in the UK).

Kind of - it's a cartoon, though, not someone who could be mistaken for the artist (incidentally, I used a Google Images search to find this cover, and the page it took me to was a Prince.org:Music:Non-Prince discussion lol lol )

That's funny. I could never figure out who it was, but I guess it could be Beck.

One can safely assume that's not a member of RATM.

Yeah, there are plenty of group albums like this, but the Fatboy Slim one is the only solo one I can think of...

See my response above. I'm not trying to catch anyone out, but I'd be interested to see more. It's understandable why there aren't more, since it leads to very confusing marketing - a lot of people thought the guy on the cover was Fatboy Slim, until normal-looking Norman Cook started doing interviews.

good question, 90% of the ones i can think of feature
the artists themselves on their solo albums or just a
picture of something or a drawing with no people what
so ever.

hmmm
