What is your idea of a Perfect Album?

I was just listening to Kid Creole and the Coconuts album "Fresh Fruit in Foreign Places" and came to the conclusion that it is a "perfect album". The story line, the instrumentation, the mix and even the artwork are all included in my rating of this record. Yes, the artwork and liner notes count as well. Dark Side of the Moon is a another good example. There's a million of them, whats yours?

Who's next. OK, the cover art is ah...unusual, but what an album.
Steely Dan - anything - try to find a bad album, from beginning to end, including the concept, the cover, the outrageous lyrics, etc.
Led Zep II. A masterpiece still.

What was I thinking - I should have mentioned this before - Santana, Abraxas. From the fantastic cover art to my first exposure to Latin tinged music, it's hard to imagine a much finer and consistent effort.
