The LEDs are Sting, Stuart and Andy.

I like Welcome to the Machine. Look closely at the scarf in the wind. Behind it is the nude woman that released it into the wind. Arty.

The inner sleeve of 'In Through the Out Door' is impregnated with watercolors. You can use a wet paintbrush on the black ink areas to release the color and "colorize" the sleeve art. Nifty. I discovered it when I spilt beer on it partying in the eighties. I have 3: one smeared, one painted, one left pristine.

Led Zeppelin III is fun.

Nirvana- All
Boston- Boston

Which reminds me.....now that I'm playing vinyl again, I need to get another copy.

[Ricnroll]

All the Roger Dean ones but especially "Escape" from Yessongs. I also really like Deep Purple's "Machine Head" cover.

As for sexy, nothing beats Scorpions original "In Trance" cover

[Aussie Player]

SGT Peppers
DISRAELI Gears

[Peepaleep]

Yes, Disraeli Gears and the first 3 Santana album covers are great too.

[bluesblaster]

That scorpions cover is classic, couldnt remember the name of it earlier.

[Staredge]

Rather like this one as well.

Those are called Picture Discs and the picture is actually underneath clear vinyl with the grooves in it. I had the Molly Hatchet picture discs (sold them) and still have quite a picture disc collection. Picture discs started back in the 1930s.

Here are a few cool album covers.

The provided hot link didn't seem to want to function, so I put this in as an educational aid for those who are unfamiliar:





(This rendition of the front cover doesn't begin to do justice - one must see detail AND open the flap to get the full and complete effect...)

The Ohio Players escorted many young men through adolescence. My Goodness - those were the days! Young people these days haven't an idea as to what it was like to be a teenager during that time.

(Because of creeping senility, I sometimes have a hard time remembering, too...)

Yes, Lawd!!!!
James Evans, Sr. After First
Viewing The Wiggler In A
Bathing Suit...

Lets remember where the Clash got there inspiration from: (that's Elvis's first album, 'case you were wondering)

[MRDOOM]

My Bloody Valentine's Loveless has some pretty cool album art.
