Brain Salad Surgery by Emerson Lake and Palmer was released 50 years ago on 19 November 1973, sporting the memorable cover by #HRGiger, of which this is my version.

The name #BrainSaladSurgery was taken from the lyrics of Right Place Wrong Time by #DrJohn:

“just need a little brain salad surgery, got to cure my insecurity”

@Nickiquote very good. Curious as to what makes it 'womens lips' though in the alt text?

@Nickiquote in my defense I do have prosopagnosia but I didn't think lips were particularly different between genders.

@ArtBrew This is the inside of the gatefold cover, which opened to show the painting of the whole image. Apparently the model was Giger’s girlfriend. There was also an erect phallus under her mouth in the original painting(s), which was airbrushed out.

@Nickiquote aha! I had no knowledge of the 'reveal' so it makes sense now. Of course there were erect phalluses involved also! It wouldn't be giger without them.
