I'm a fetishist about the original LP cover art too. In fact, that's one reason I'm re-buying (yet again) some of the Reiner/Chicago recordings, reissued for the second time on SACD (this time by Analogue Productions / Acoustic Sounds): these latest reissues (which are much more expensive and contain far less music per disc than the previous SACD's done by Soundmirror for Sony-BMG) reproduce those LP covers without the visual clutter of the earlier SACD reissues. Like you, I'm just a sucker for it - must have something to do with early childhood memories! ;-)
No question which of these two is more faithful!
