In between ALIEN filming HR Giger was in demand for record sleeves too.
One I recall when I was young is ELP's Brain Salad Surgery, it's cover boasting the spikes and bones of Giger's biomechania. The central window gives you a glimpse of ....
More cheekbones appeared on Debby Harry's Kookoo cover and this time Giger's gone skewer crazy.
I'm sure there are more Giver sleeves. Do you know any readers? Has he designed anything else? Book covers? Wallpaper? God forbid, Bathroom furniture?
There's an entire book devoted to Giger's work with Debbie Harry, expensive and limited to 150 copies - https://titanbooks.com/71399-hr-giger-debbie-harry-metamorphosis-limited-edition/
