Original cover art on vinyl albums

[thebankerstoy]

Ok folks, here we go. I will try and list four album covers per post if I can size the pictures to meet Bills requirements. I will only list the bands name and the name of each album. If you see an album that you would like to have the "play list" for, let me know and I'll post them for you. For you younger folks, these albums won't mean crap to you, but for you guy's and gal's who were lucky enough to have lived in the times when these AWESOME albums were released, grab a cold one, sit back, and take a "magic carpet ride" back to the 60's and 70's!  These are only a few of the better know albums that I have, so if this thread gets any interest, maybe I'll post some of the lesser known but still GREAT albums that I have.

If anyboby else has some of their favorites that they would like to post or talk about, feel free to post them hear ok?

This is one of my best scores. an obscure movie soundtrack for the movie "More" by Pink Floyd. This is just a pic I found. My album is at my parents house, and get this, it still has the plastic on the outside of the album jacket.

Not to be a smartass but I think you're mistaken on Zeppelin's "Zoso" was actually called "IV", wasn't it? I know it never had a title on it....eitehr way, ridiculous cool album. I had "When The Levee Breaks" cranked on my way home from work just now.

[thebankerstoy]

  Adam, GREAT album, STRANGE title, but then again, it was Zeppelin so nobody gave a damn what they named their albums just as long as they kept bringing them out!  .

Here's a couple rare ones I used to like

GAMMA was a Ronnie Montrose band. And ANGEL was probably the most theatric concert I've ever seen.

Nice 33's Richard.  I have many of those same ones.  Is your Surrealistc Pillow disc transparent pink?  I have two, one is normal and the other is see through pink color.

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

[thebankerstoy]

Hi Ken,

I missed out on both of those, pretty cool huh?

Richard

[eldubb440]

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 

[Mopartist]

Hi Ken,

I missed out on both of those, pretty cool huh?

Richard

Yeah; they were mostly an opening band for the biggies. But they were a cross between Emerson, Lake, and Palmer and RUSH combined with a David Copperfield  magic show. REALLY different!
And of coarse Ronnie Montrose is well.....Ronnie Montrose .....Joe Satriani and Robin Trower combined.

[318_Magnum]

Wow! What are those things? Are they like, giant CD's or something? 






























JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!!!

[hemicop]

  You gotta be kidding! THIS IS GREAT STUFF! But you can't possibly leave out Santana (Abraxas), Jimi Hendrix (Axis: Bold As Love. Electric Ladyland) or Mountain (Climbing). Now here's a $64,000 question: What cars "fit"any of the listed albums?

[illfish]

The Janis Joplin album with the R. Crumb artwork is awesome.  I always liked the stones Tattoo you and Iron Maiden "Powerslave".
