Over the years Roger Dean's artwork has graced the covers of albums by many rock, motown or progressive rock bands and posters of the Roger Dean's cover art were published both in the seventies and eighties. In the 70s a big vinyl LP sleeve really showed off Roger Dean's artwork well but nowadays you need to see a poster to appreciate the art because CD cases are so tiny whilst Roger Dean's paintings are so big! Here are some of the posters that have been published -
Asia Dragon
by Roger Dean = first Asia
album cover art published as a Pomegranate poster in the
nineties.
Asia Pyramid
by Roger Dean = second Asia
album cover art published as a Pomegranate poster in the
nineties.
Asia Astra
by Roger Dean = third Asia
album cover art published as a Pomegranate poster in the
nineties.
Freyjas Castle
by Roger Dean = also known as 'Blue Towers' and
published as a Pomegranate poster in the nineties.
Green Castle pomegranate poster by
Roger Dean published in the nineties.
Green Castle Big O poster
by Roger Dean published in the early seventies -
consequently very rare and collectible.
Greenslade album cover Jade
Sea by Roger Dean published as a
Pomegranate poster in the nineties.
Greenslade album 'Bedside
Manners Are Extra' Big O poster by Roger Dean
published in the early seventies and extremely collectible
because, not only is the poster very rare, but the original was
destroyed in a fire and no longer exists. The reason the
character has five arms is because Roger Dean was sketching
different positions for the arms, finally couldn't decide which
positions he liked best so he decided to keep them all!
Floating Islands by Roger
Dean published as Pomegranate poster in the nineties.
Motown Chartbusters by Roger
Dean published as poster by Big O in the very early
seventies and consequently rare. It is a bit of a puzzle how
Roger Dean's artwork came to adorn a Motown label cover but then
in the early seventies practically everyone wanted a Roger Dean
cover at some point.
Budgie album Never
Turn Your Back on a Friend cover artwork by Roger
Dean published as poster by Big O in the early seventies
and now very rare.
Osibisa's
first album cover by Roger Dean
published as poster by Big O in the early seventies and
consequently rare.
Red
Dragon Pomegranate poster by Roger Dean
- these have become scarce even though more recently published
than the Big O posters.
Classic YES
double album cover for Tales From Topographic Oceans
painted by Roger Dean. One of his best-known and
most popular works. Published in the early seventies as a Big O
poster and again in the nineties as a Pomegranate poster. The
former being extremely rare and the latter in very short supply.
Relayer poster from YES album
of same title by Roger Dean published by Big 'O'
in the 70s and now very rare. Also published as a large fine-art
print but these re not easy to come by either.
Morning Dragon poster of Roger
Dean's artwork under the title of his Magnetic
Storm publishing. Published by Pomegranate.
Yellow City
poster by Roger Dean. Published by Pomegranate.
One of the easier posters to find.
