Subject: What I miss about LPs- the album cover art!
Written By: Carl on 09/15/05 at 11:03 am
As a kid, I especially liked the kind that were a two record set, you opened it up and the center had such a neat photograph and wonderful shades of pastels, paint or anything that created a great picture.
Kansas' album covers were great! My favorite's were 'Monolith' and 'Leftoverature'
Santana's albums had some great artwork too. My favorite was the picture of the lion, I forget the name of this release though.
What are your favorites?

I always liked Chicago's album sleeves like the one with the wood carving, or the chocolate bar, but the best one of their 70's album sleeves was their 13 album from 1979 ...

Hey, a little off subject, but was that the one where they tried their hand at Disco?
Just wondered if it sounded anything at all like their pop-rock/ballad sound on the 16 and 17 albums. KISS, Rod Stewart and tons of other rock artists did disco around this time, and even if alot of fans/critics didn't like it, I thought it was cool. :)
Anyway, unfortunately I don't personally own any albums, but if I had to pick a favorite cover - maybe Sports from Huey Lewis. Not just saying that because it was the real Marty McFly's favorite album (though it doesn't hurt!). ;)

For starters, I always like all the Led Zeppelin covers....especially the 1979 release "In Through The Out Door" with the 4 different covers.

I remember buying my copy when it was released, it came in a brown paper wrapping covering the sleeve :)
