Cheap Thrills - Janis Joplin
Janis Joplin - Cheap Thrills (1968)
This is probably one of my favorite covers from my distant teenage years. R. Crumb created the cover illustration as a favor to his friend Joplin. The Rolling Stones asked him to do the same for them, but he refused because he hated their music.
