Yes, we've seen plenty black and white pictures of some jazz dude holding his trumpet next to some text graphics that would make a Photoshop 1.0 user hurl. HERE are some covers to excite a larger portion of the brain.

I have the Road Warrior soundtrack (on vinyl). Great music, but the cover always looked like a cross between a Village People album and 'Starlight Express'.In other words...can you say 'leatherman' (and I don't meen the tool)?
That Road Warrior artwork on the album never did feel or seem like it fit the movie or was quite right...can't put my finger on it(too over the top,garish?). When I first saw that cover, that fuel rig or "super 18 wheeler" looks like an evil Robbie The Robot from Lost In Space laying down with rocket thrusters on the bottom...or the rig from Spielberg's 70's film "Duel".
I had that Jefferson Starship LP but got rid of it ages ago...Maybe it was the cover artwork that did it. The Asian woman is sexy, but the dragon makes the whole thing "un-sexy".
The Road Warrior actually is a pretty good sounding album. Maybe i'm just attracted to shiny things :-)
I recorded it in 1987 from an LP owned by a college friend of mine onto my entry level NAK deck from my NAD turntable/Signet cartridge through a Kenwood receiver (all of early 1980s vintage).I listened to it a lot and liked it. Sort of a poor man's Holst The Planets! NOW I WANT TO HEAR IT AGAIN!!
I should record it onto cd for the car, might be good driving music!
Gotta go rinse off my eyeballs . . .
:oP
It doesn't take soul to snap a pic of a dude holding a trombone with a Kodak 110 camera.
covers - it's about what they represent. The MUSIC inside

how 'bout "some music/musician that I really like of the day"? Or maybe just "album of the day". And there is some great music on those two records I posted. Don't let those awesome flashy covers fool you. I'm waiting for someone to post the Spinal Tap cover.
"graphics that would make a Photoshop 1.0 user hurl"That's exactly why the old stuff is better.
