Donald Fagen - The Nightfly - 1982
The front cover features a photo of Donald Fagen as a disc jockey, speaking into a RCA 77DX microphone. In front of him is a turntable, an ashtray, a matchbook, and a pack of Chesterfield King cigarettes. Visible on the table with the record player is the cover of the 1958 jazz album Sonny Rollins and the Contemporary Leaders (one of Fagen's favourite albums).
The cover was shot in Fagen's apartment in the Upper East Side of Manhattan by photographer James Hamilton. Two shoots were arranged because in the first, the RCA microphone was facing the wrong direction. Gale Sasson and Vern Yenor are credited with the cover's set design.
