Yeah, before seeing the actual product I really dug the horsevag cover. I mean it's stupid but v memorable... this thread'll continue on into next year and I'll prolly only retain about 6 or so as really ingraining themselves upon my mind.

Or it could just be the hormones speaking.

kelpolaris, Monday, 28 March 2011 23:08 (thirteen years ago) link

love the hauschka one. besides der salon des amateurs is a wonderful location to pass time as well.

the europan nikon is here (grauschleier), Monday, 28 March 2011 23:16 (thirteen years ago) link

love the horsecrotch one

gr8080, Tuesday, 29 March 2011 03:51 (thirteen years ago) link

Horsecrotch is very hypgnosis

kelpolaris, Wednesday, 30 March 2011 18:39 (thirteen years ago) link

skot, is that one of those super glossy covers (like Cameo-Parkway)? I love those

harrumph. (los blue jeans), Thursday, 31 March 2011 00:41 (thirteen years ago) link

yes! pop art that pops right out at you. i was holding this album the other night and it has to be one of the most beautiful album covers ever made. the colors are just staggering. just everything about it is staggering. you really have to see one in real life.

(and most copies are standard mono so you don't even have the stereo thing at the top to break things up.) genius 20th century art.

Suprised by the hate for the Bonnie/Sweeney cover; I love it. Love the Rene Hell one, too.

She Got the Shakes, Thursday, 31 March 2011 09:52 (thirteen years ago) link
