You find a good photo of the cover here:

BTW, it seems that the album is from 1968, so it can't be a joke about 1975.

An Aussie band in the late 1980s used an illustration from a WT pamphlet on an album cover. I was a bit surprised at the time, because I was new in the religion. I wish I'd held onto it now. It was instantly recognisable, but they were very much a low-rate band and barely rated a blip on the rock music radar.

Good point processor. I had not looked at the album for years was looking at my collection and found it. I tried to scan it but it didnt look good so I took a picture of it. It was the best I could get.

I know only this one, but it is not from the 80s but rather from 2010. And not an actual WT cover but simply copying the style:

I remember the album cover, thought it was pretty cool at the time.

I do not know about the album cover being discussed, but I do know that the WTS was proclaiming 1975 as a year of historical significance since before 1968. There were some witnesses who actually prophesied the date to non-jw's.
Wasn't the 'Later than you think' article the one with the de-railed train? There was alot of loaded language in that article that was not lost on 'worldly' people. I would guess that the Awake! shown on the album cover contained same or similar language (if not the exact article).

Yes and no. There wasn't actually an article with that title, but this is the issue you're thinking about. (October 8th)
The picture of the train going down the hill towards Armageddon was on page 5. (Article was entitled "What's This World Coming To?"
The article "What will the 1970's Bring" was on page 13
