What Are Your Favorite Record Albums Covers?

Jon-Butcher--646x350.jpg
This picture reminds me I went to Nashville to see Billy Cox play at a little bar. There was a female Hendrix impersonator who Billy slightly implied was a better player than Jimi... She was kind of stocky and could pass for a man, with the right getup. No idea who she was. The next morning I was listening to music in a bar and she went walking down the street. I ran out to get her, but she had disappeared.

As a matter of fact, some say that Jon Butcher never really "hit the big time" because he sounded too much like Jimi.

 
So, now we have an answer to this question:

What did Bob reply to his wife this morning when she asked him, "Honey, now that you're retired, how are you going to spend your time?"

Always enjoyed following the life of Eddie, the mascot of the band Iron Maiden. This cover is from '86 and the last time I saw them live. Like it 'cause it incorporates images from their 5 previous albums.

All this Stormy Daniels news coverage has reminded me of one of my favorite album covers.
Boxer, 1975, "Below the Belt", a cover which was quickly censored.
Lead vocals by Mike Patto.

Goes and searches for my vinyl record collection...or the remains of it after the 27 years of hell they copped!
Some missing, some that dont belong to me, all a little battle scarred....
The Beatles...."White Album"... hehehe!
actually Motorhead "Bomber" and Hawkwind "Space Ritual " are pretty cool...they all go back 40ish years to some very wild times.
