This is the back cover to Adele's latest album, '21'.
From this, I can see that her back cover includes the list of tracks featured in the album, plus an image of the artist herself.
This imaged used on the back cover is different to the front cover image, but there is a continuity of the background and colours used e.g. both images are black and white.
As well as this, there is a bar code for buying purposes and the back cover shows the recommended website for the artist and the record company that Adele is with. This is a good use of promoting the company and the artist at the same time.
Though some album covers have the images of the artist at the back of the cover, this does not apply to all album covers.
Th JLS album back cover (right) doesn't include an image of the band, but it still links to the band.
Instead of using an image, they have kept the background a dark colour, representing continuity but have only wrote a clear track list of the songs on the album. This is clear and simple to read and located in the middle of the cover.
To represent the band still, they have used a bar at the top of the list of the four colours that represent their band.
Like most back covers, this one also promotes the record label company and uses a bar code for marketing purposes.
I also took images of Back covers from CD i had at home. Similar to the ones above, they both included websites, bar codes, record label details and a track list. Here are both Cd covers:
The difference between these two back covers of the Cd's is that the Take That cover on the right is much more simple. Though they both show continuity, the CD on the right is more simple than Taylor Swifts on the left because the background is plain and the font is clear and easy to understand. This is in contrast to Taylor Swifts which has somewhat more colour and includes an image of the artist. There looks to be more information on the image on the left which makes it more appealing in my opinion, though it isn't overcrowded.
