Nice retro look for this CD Box set

Future Blues by Canned Heat (1970)

Future Blues is the fifth album by the band Canned Heat.  I know nothing at all about them except what I read on wikipedia but you can go and do that for yourself if you're that way inclined. 

What we do have to admire though is the cover artwork.  A recent find for me but a quick glance tells me that we've got spacesuits from a couple of different eras here.  There's the Destination Moon style of suit from  the1950's and the suits from Way... Way Out from 1966.  Both of which pop up all over the place.

Iron Maiden - The Final Frontier (2010)

The artwork, with and without titles, from Iron Maiden’s 2010 album; The Final Frontier.

An Alien redesign for Eddie, the band's monstrous mascot but they seem to have gone a little further back than that for the space suit designs which have a very retro 50’s/60’s style.  Slightly disappointingly this is not the same look of the space suit which is seen in the bands video although that's nice enough but very modern.
