I'm sure a few of us bought stuff based solely on the cover.
I recall buying Yes' Fragile, Led Zep III, & Uriah Heep's Demons & Wizards because of the cool cover art. I had no prior knowledge of those bands, either.
Those 3 were winners.
For some reason, I'm not remembering the losers.
I loved this cover back in the eighties:

Do you have that particular pressing? The color of the letters was like that on the original Moon Records release, but when Mercury re-released the album, they changed it to this (it was a printing mistake, I think):

Alright Rush fans, prepare to drool:
I have a copy of the first LP autographed by Neil, Geddy, and Alex. It was around the time of the All The World's A Stage tour, and they were doing a signing session at the old Peaches Record store in Columbus, Ohio, circa 1978. They were very cool, chatty, and really seemed to be enjoying the interaction with fans.
BTW, the hue on the letters of mine are somewhere between red and hot pink. It must have to do with the particular pressing and how the printer sets up the ink.
Led Zeppelin Physical Grafitti. The windows of the building were cut out (similar to the wheel on Led Zeppelin III) and the pictures on the album sleeves would fit into the window frames.

And this one:
It has the spinning wheel that keeps new images showing up in the windows. Hours of trippy entertainment while you enjoy the tracks.
Those were the days when the LP sleeve was part of the show!
Great band - Be Bop Deluxe - cool album covers

+1 to the LZ Physical Graffiti cover. As a teenager (all new music was on cassette at the time), I spent a lot of time at the used record store and had nice copies of Physical Graffiti, The Doors, and others. My favorite was a Jimi Hendrix Experience double album of Are You Experienced? and Axis.
My mom had this album and I remember being 11 or 12 and being in love with it.

I wish I did. Mine is the Mercury pink release. The red logo on the Moon label had a limited pressing of only 3 thousand or so. Wiki actually has a great write up of the histiry of Rush's debut LP.

This one was life changing.
I remember that one a lot. I had it on cassette, but unfortunately I never appreciated cassettes as much as LPs, so I don't have it anymore. Loved the intro riff of the opening song, "All Over Town". Also remember that the name of the lead singer (Myles Goodwyn) looked and sounded extremely cool to me.
