"YES" always had cool art too! But I haven't gotten my 6 yet.

You're right Balty, that is really sick, and I always liked the Skorpions before now.

The only ones I can think of right now are:

1) ELO - Out of the Blue
2) Al Stewart - Time Passages
3) Alan Parsons - Try Anything Once

I'm sure I'll come up with some more later, but I can't right now.

They could fascinate me for hours with their 'Paul is Dead' imagery.

I wonder how many answers will come from before the CD era? There's just no substitute for the larger format of album art.

You need something to make you feel like a dirty old man?

Hmm...that's funny...I don't. :cheeky:

My Dad looked at for a minute and asked what kind of pervert I was. Mind you I was all of 7-8 then. Thankfully mom was a little more open minded. I still have that LP, zipper and all.

It seems a lot of my favorites come from the late 60s-early 70s.
