Well, there’s George Harrison’s [Extra Texture](http://www.amazon.com/Extra-Texture-George-Harrison/dp/B000008GEE/ref=sr_1_15/105-6453067-4059644?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1187784205&sr=1-15). How much more orange could an album cover be? And the answer is none. None more orange. (Well, okay, maybe just a little more orange.) Then there’s They Might Be Giants’ [No!](http://www.amazon.com/No-They-Might-Be-Giants/dp/B000068C97/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/105-6453067-4059644?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1187784626&sr=1-1) If you want the CD itself to be orange, you can’t get much oranger than Van Dyke Parks & Brain Wilson’s [Orange Crate Art](http://www.amazon.com/Orange-Crate-Brian-Wilson-Parks/dp/B000002MN2/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/105-6453067-4059644?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1187784399&sr=1-1). ---

And the [Counting Crows](http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_pg_2/002-0393710-6536861?ie=UTF8&rs=301668&keywords=counting%20crows&rh=n%3A301668%2Ck%3Acounting%20crows&page=2) seem to have a lot of orangey looking album covers. Sheryl Crow’s _Come On Come On_ album is oragne too, I think. ---
