Favorite Album Covers

pwdennis · 09-14-2002, 12:17 AM

I have been collecting recorded music since late 1967. Initially I purchased only Country albums (I never was into 45 rpms) . The first "rock" album I ever purchased was in 1968, when I bought an album called THE VENTURE'S GOLDEN GREATS

At the time I bought this album, I had no idea who the Ventures were or what they sounded like. What sold me on the album was the cover, a gatefold album with this gorgeous chick wearing a gold bikini. Great picture, still one of my favorite album covers. Rather fortuitously, I liked the music contained within, such classics as Apache, Walk Don't Run and Telstar.

Some other album covers I have liked

The Who Sell Out (don't have album since I don't like the Who)
Homer & Jethro - any album with cover art by Jack Davis
Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison
Herb Alpert & The TJB - Whipped Cream (and Other Delights) - a much parodied album cover
Cat Steven - Tea For The Tillerman

there are more

How could any wrong that he did compare with that?" - John Sears
