Is the product placement on Bigger Than Both Of Us significant or something? Seems to be consciously conspicuous in a way that doesn't seem accidental. but Ritz crackers as a lifestyle choice?

Yeah that's weird, can't recall seeing anything like that on an LP cover (except "The Who Sell Out").

are those ritz crackers on the war babies cover? maybe they just like Ritz

A Millennial band should do an album called "Cola War Babies," with a cover depicting (similarly arranged) 1980s ephemera...

(With ideas like this, it's amazing I need to work for a living!)

Doug Stevenson, "Steel On My Mind"

lol

I'm sure a whole 'On My Mind' subthread is possible.

We had this?

Don't know about 'yawnsomely' literal, exactly, but yeesh.

Mentioned on the Buffalo Springfield thread - Yellow Hand, by Yellow Hand.

I'm finding the Evenflo product placement on the War Babies cover to be a bit distracting.

Kossie Gardner, "Pipes of Blue"

omg that rules!

Would like to see a follow up called Bow Me a Throne

that is a great one

Fuck

wow. his face on the back.

Holy shit listening to Rob Galbraith's first album Nashville Dirt... this is great! Funky, folky, soulful country stuff.

Ted Taylor, "Keepin' My Head Above Water".

Those are bills and final demands floating in the water DO YOU SEE, though I think they put a fish in there in case you weren't sure it was water.

Chris Ducey - Duce of Hearts

I posted this in some other album cover thread but it should be here too. But it's not yawn-inducing. It's brilliant and magnificent and we should all bask in its splendor.

Ozark Mountain Daredevils, The Car Over the Lake Album

I have never seen this album cover before and seriously WTF

That one is hardly "yawnsomely literal", wow.

lol well it's definitely overly literal, I agree it isn't exactly yawnsome as much as it is disturbing

I got this for $2 in California a couple days ago.

Tim Bogert: Progressions

Y'know, I've glanced at that Child is Father to the Man cover many times and somehow never realized there are mini-mes on their knees! Shows you how much attention I ever paid to BS&T I guess...

That cover is the best thing they ever did.

$6.90 looks pricey for that LP(?)

that cover raises a lot of questions

this almost sounds like music recorded specifically for children, like it's about losing a tooth or something

was staring at this the other day and thinking it would really be perfect if the flute was playing a saxophone, for maximum "I JUST HAD SEX IN THE EARLY 80s" cliche-ness

I mean I guess it *is* smoking but still

the piano looks dejected; like it's recoiling in shame after a bad encounter
