Craig is also responsible for the design of the 1970 Rolling Stones "Sticky Fingers" album  with the iconic "Licks" logo, the famous school desk package for Alice Cooper's "School's Out" with paper panties  around the record, Led Zeppelin III with the spinning picture wheel and the 1973 Grammy Award winning  "Tommy with the London Symphony Orchestra" boxed set.
CONDITION  The actual album cover is in very good condition with some age soiling and surface  markings, no tears. The dust sleeve and labels are excellent. The vinyl is very good to excellent. The test pressing is very good. The original design comps are in good condition with some drying  of glue due to age as they are over 40 years old. (please see all photos)
