"An Album Cover"

[RedAngie]

What are some of your favorites?


Both sides are great.

Who DIDN'T pull the zipper up and down in record stores?

A masterpiece of a cover.

Supposedly the band didn't want this photo for the album cover, but I like it.

I always liked this woman's gaze. (Styx, Pieces of Eight)

This was my favourite. Unfortunately, a mold situation claimed it!

AND

Here's a classic--and it's just a couple of months away from being 50 years old! You can talk about streaming and downloads all you want but it's a shame that the art of the album cover is something that is largely forgotten about.

Off topic, but every time I see this thread title i can't help but think of celebrity Jeopardy from SNL.

Off topic, but every time I see this thread title i can't help but think of celebrity Jeopardy from SNL.

After I posted the thread, I was tempted to go back and change the title to "An Album Cover"

Maybe I still will.

Styx's Paradise Theater! It had a double cover, the Paradise on it's grand opening in the 20s:

And the Paradise derelict decades later:

I adored this cover and I played the heck out of the album.

This one is so ironic because Keith died 3 weeks after it was released.
