Stuff I miss: physical album covers

I remember accidentally spilling water on my brand-new Led Zep album sleeve, and it started bleeding colors! wtf!

That's one of the magical things about vinyl . . . the discoveries with every effort put forth by our favorite artists.

I still have Blondie's first album, Dylan's Desire and The Who Sell Out.

The Who's Quadrophenia on vinyl? fuggedaboutit . . . a whole book in there, two vinyl albums, a gatefold sleeve . . .

The Doors' Weird Scenes Inside the Gold Mine was my first step into the Morrison mystique.



Check out that fucking art . . . why they never reissued this on CD blows my mind.

 

I fapped a few times to this in my collection. It was as close to porn as I could get away with in my 15 year old domain.

 

I tried really hard to see through this dress.

 

rite of passage for me . . . and I wasn't even stoned.

 

this one folded out and had cool pics from the movie.

 

Shut up, Amanda.



5 mins until the naked baby from Nirvana is posted.

 

With the CDs you don't get the cool posters that came with it

 

There is a billboard for a "lite" radio station and Bon Jovi is one of the bands they say they play

 

so go dig it out

 

overrated album

 

I put this looking out my bedroom window . . .

 

right, this one is better.

 

No you are just a homo.

 

Pixies anyone? I'd like to start buying vinyls, the temptation and convenience of free music kinda always ruins it though.

 

i loved the 12 inch single covers too.

 

duly noted

 

Prince had a bunch of great 12" covers that he hasn't reissued to this day.
