That Jaws cover is great Chris.
The thing that always annoyed me about the Varese cover is that the Bob Peak painting looks nothing like a Great White Shark! What made it more annoying was that the back cover had a terrific Bob Peak painting (Originally for 'Time' magazine) that would have made a brilliant cover! Anyone want to have a crack at that?!

A vast improvement Chris - superb. That Varese Jaws was, to put it mildly, poor ... quite surprising considering the talent involved. Haven't seen the back as I don't own it. Anyone got a decent scan?
Talking of world's worst score covers, nothing in my opinion measures up to this beauty. The official Japanese release ... what were they thinking?

Here you are, it's way beyond my capabilities.

One of my very first film soundtracks, purchased in 1964, I've always loved the cover, so when James announced a new digital recording of the score, I couldn't resist.

Ta for that.
You can't beat that original Ben Hur cover - makes me wonder what Tadlow's will look like. By the way you should check the gap between the 'Goldwyn' hyphen and 'Mayer' as it's too large.

Thanks for spotting that error raferjanders, it's these damn arthritic fingers of mine, sometimes they spasm and I print double spaces or the completely wrong letters.
It's an age thing.

Another, rather less gaudy take on Sodom and Gomorrah using (I think) the British poster.
I made some very slight adjustments to Sodom and Gomorrah.

I thought I'd have another go at Jaws, why I didn't do this the first time is beyond me.
And here's one for the "Tribute to Victor Young" album

I'll try, but please remember I'm not really very good at this, my covers are a bit hit and miss (mostly miss) however as you ask so politely I'll give it a go. Just don't expect wonders. 
It's the best I could do with that image, I'm afraid I only have "paint" on my computer, so editing pictures is difficult, so my apologies if it's not suitable.
This one was easier, so I tried with this as well.
I may come back to these in a while, meanwhile you can always hope that raferjanders will have a go, he's much better at cover design than I am.
Your covers look great, Chris. Thanks for taking the time and effort. In fact I like 'em all! I'm also a novice, so I appreciate all the custom covers being posted here, especially when one asks and is responded to so kindly. I would post some of mine, but am too embarrassed, and I also don't know how...
What applications do you use to create your covers?
