With vinyl making a comeback, for those of you who remember, what were your favorite vinyl album covers?

Here's mine:
Depeche Mode- A Broken Frame
Yes- Fly From Here
Billy Joel- Streetlife Serenade
Boston- Don't Look Back
Led Zeppelin- In Through the Out Door
Beatles- Revolver
Rolling Stones- Some Girls
Jimi Hendrix Experience- Bold as Axis
Slash- Slash
Talking Heads- Little Creatures
Journey- Escape
Asia- Alpha

Cal Schenkel's designs for Zappa. Especially Burnt Weenie Sandwich and Weasels Ripped My Flesh.

Original pressing of electric ladyland by Jimi Hendrix

Always liked the Yes Albums.

Ohio Players - Fire, Honey, Skin Tight, Ouch!, Pleasure, Ol' School... you get the idea :eek:

I love the intricate scenes on the Rudimentary Peni LP covers. These were hand drawn in pen and ink. The amount of detail involved is incredible.

Here's the "Death Church" cover: http://rintoulvinyl.s3.amazonaws.com/DSC_0946.JPG

The first Black Sabbath album and Queen's News of the World are two of my favorites.

Great album jacket art, photos, and text are what I really miss about the golden age of vinyl. With the cassette and CD, it all got too small to enjoy, and with the digital download, it all but disappeared.

Here are the first two that came to mind.

Anything from Earth Wind & Fire, Revolver,Sgt Peppers

I'm a little partial to this one... :)

pablo picasso was never called an *******

For me it will always be Roxy Music's Country Life.

Man!

Talk about unforgettable.

Guys...

hey, no one mentioned Blind Faith's one and only album....now that would deserve a "guys"....

Aoxomaxoa
Blues For Allah
Point of Know Return
Powerslave
Revolver
The Joker
Bitches Brew

Blind Faith's album had a too-young looking girl, and was more "strange" than "sexy." The original "Electric Ladyland" cover was not approved by the artist, Jimi Hendrix, and it is silly.

"Country Life" was legitimately sexy, and was actual art. It is one of my all time favorite album covers, along with some of the Hipgnosis covers for Pink Floyd, and all the other great covers from back when album art was a big deal.

I love all things Yes. Close To The Edge gets my vote. And the one with the cats too.

whose saying it was sexy...geesh....now, talk about The Cars CandyO ...:cool:
