Just post a picture of any album that does not have the band or artist’s name on it (intentionally). You can tell us who the artist is if you want, but you don’t have to.

Doesn’t the Velvet Underground album have the artist’s name on it?

I believe the original vinyl cover, with the peel-off banana, was exactly what **bibliophage** posted, without the band name, and just “Andy Warhol.” It’s been reissued many times, and most subsequent releases do have “The Velvet Underground & Nico” printed prominently at the top. My own CD copy of it has the band name printed on it. ---
