Babylon by Bus is a live album released in 1978. Its cover came with a special design feature. Wikipedia:

The windows of the bus on the front cover were cut out, revealing part of the inner sleeve. As this was a double album, the listener had a choice of four different scenes to view through the windows.

Try to do that with a jewel case, not to mention with an iTunes jpeg!

The letters on the cover appear to be painted, but closely modeled after the tube-like Pluto.
