Everything that I have collected on Capitol just for the covers. I love some Steve Miller Band covers, but own those for the music. But these are just for the covers. The most remarkable one is the Salvador Dali, with a picture of Jackie Gleason with Dali in a photo op. Think of this as a large print run Dali print. Is Dali the most famous artist to ever design a cover, or would that be Andy Warhol?

I would guess Warhol is currently more “famous” than Dali. Is the Saint Saens Carnival of the Animals cover a Jim Flora design. Could it be?
I have no idea how one would measure famous-ness. Perhaps by asking people standing in line at McDonald’s who they have heard of. I am pretty sure Carnival of the Animals is not Flora. It is not signed or I would have mentioned who signed it.
I noticed that Flora resemblance, too. The Villa-Lobos cover is nice as well.
This is not Flora’s style, but I recognize it from somewhere. I wish I could remember.
Based on comparative covers, I believe the artist for the Saint-Saens/Ibert LP to be Robert Guidi.
Jim Flora’s estate has definitely stated that the Carnival of Animals is NOT his work, if any further clarification is needed (it’s probably not, though).
