Yeah .. we're downsizing so we've had to let a few of you go.

Don't worry, we'll hire you back as a contractor at triple the salary.

Here's a pretty obscure lp-cover showing the inimitable (he held his guitar on his lap and played it with his thumbs!) Mr. 'Thumbs' Carllile -

And here 2 Japanese CD's featuring a band that was hugely popular in Japan in the 60's, the 'Blue Jeans' plus Takeshi Terauchi -

Image

...and the cover of a solo-lp by again Takeshi Terauchi, who was probably the first Japanese guitar hero -

That's Evan Foster of the Boss Martians.  The Boss Martians started out as a pretty trad vocal/instro surf band and did a couple of albums in that style before moving in a garage punk direction where they currently are.  Cool stuff!

If back covers of compilations count... I'm trying to find the one with Bob Dylan playing a jazzmaster.
