Original cover art on vinyl albums

[ski]

Hey Ski,

Nope, I have the regular version, but I can say that both my album and it's cover are in REALLY good condition though!  Could you take a picture of your "pink" album? That would be VERY cool!

Richard, Let me see if I can dig them out in the next couple days and I'll post a pic. I used to keep them all in a stereo cabinet in my daughter's room but she evicted them and I stashed them in a few groups around the house.  I went through the ones that are here in the living room and they're not among them but it brought back memories.  I even found a Gary Puckett and the Union Gap    but it's pretty beat.

Richad; the first one that comes to mind for me is King Crimson, and i see its one of the first ones you posted. great minds think alike 

  I never met anyone besides myself and a couple buds from my teens who owned that record.  We used to do a lot of vegitating to that and a lot of ELP.

Seen them a few times. World Slavery Tour in '85. Somewhere on Tour '87. Ozzfest 2005??? Dave Murray and Adrian Smith with Steve Harris on Bass. Can't be beat.

Just funnin ya bro.  But I will have to check them out. I probably know some of their songs but I stopped keeping track of and collecting the music I liked when it became too much. I'm nowadays a radio listener because there's so much out there.  I do go into the garage for some serious Led when I need it though.  I went through a Jazz phase in my life and still dig on that once in a while.  The way I look at it all music is good.

I hear ya. Doors, Zepplin, The Who.

I here Elbeubb has quite the Depeche Mode collection.

If those covers are albums you own, you have real good taste in music; up until I saw the Harry Chapin cover!

Yep, their all mine! About the only two styles of music that I WON'T listen to and love are rap and country.

I have more for you guy's and I took my pictures one at a time instead of shooting 4 albums at a time, so maybe the pictures will be better.

Hey Ski, since we were talking about special edition colored vinyl, here's a few pictures of one of my Who albums. It's the "Who Are You"  album and it's done in a very cool red vinyl!

"Presswell Records" was a record factory here in south jersey.....its literally across a couple farm fields from our house, less than a mile away......it shut down in the 80's when CD's hit the scene....its now just a wreck of a vacant building, maybe ill go over there today and get a picture......they stamped out all the "Atlantic" and "Atco" records......any employee could buy albums for a dollar each, 2 dollars for a double.  my older brother and several of  his friends worked there at one time or another.

I liked Frank, but some how, I never ended up buying any of his albums.

Here's some more pictures of the very hard to find Rolling Stones album with the REALLY cool 3D type front cover. It has a raised hard plastic section containing the art work, rather than the normal flat art work like most of the copies of this album had. I don't know how many of these special versions were made, but I've never seen another one other than mine.

if your albums were on the "Atlantic" or "Atco" lable, they were made here.....i hope the albums survived better than the building did

[Bakaruda]

Now that is sad, think of all the people that worked there.

Hey Mark,

That's a real shame to see that building in such bad shape, as you said, there were MANY AWESOME albums made there and yes, I have a bunch of them.

By the way, I just listened to both sides of the King Crimson album for the first time in quite awhile and I had forgotten how good it was.  Do you still have a copy of it? If not, maybe I could have a friend of mine help me make you either a cassette or a CD copy of it. I also listened to the Who's Quadrophenia album and that is an absolutely KICK AZZ album! It also came with a VERY cool booklet that tells the story that all of the music is written about!  If you don't have it, I would HIGHLY recommend that you look for it on CD! You WON'T be disappointed with it my friend!
