Free Your Mind… and Your Ass Will Follow is the second album from the funk-rock band Funkadelic led by George Clinton, released just five months after the self-titled debut.
From Wikipedia:
The album’s gatefold cover forms something of a visual pun, echoing the sentiments of the album title. The woman holding her arms towards heaven in an ecstatic pose is found to be nude upon opening the sleeve.
The original 1970 issue’s artwork featured the woman facing downward, and the “Free Your Mind…” title in brown. Reissues beginning in 1990 reversed the woman’s direction (substituting an alternate photograph where her head is more inclined and her fingers are more widely fanned), and have varied the placement and color of text elements.
Cover design by Stanley Hochstadt and The Graffiteria, with Dave Davison’s Arabesque, photography by Joel Brodsky, and art direction from David Krieger. The track titles and credits are set in Dominante.
