Kevin Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Probably alot of you remember buying a new album, in this case a 33RPM), and hoping that the album cover/ inserts would enlighten you a little or entertain you while you were listening to it. I guess CD's may have the same effect, though they didn't for me (too small) .Perhaps for many of us this was the closest we could physically feel towards some music/group/ singer/ etc. that we were into at the time and wanted to find some 'meaning' in it -- obvious or otherwise; unless we were lucky enough to catch a concert. Any rememberences ? "Some Girls" - Rolling Stones -- clever at first, but just struck me as goofy later. "Exile on Main Street" - Rolling Stones -- great photography, started buying book collections after "School's Out" -- Alice Cooper -- a great collection of wackiness "Unmasked"-- Kiss-- A comic book format with so much anticipation--but... ?! "Hotel California" -- I've since heard that place actually exists as a hotel in California but all I can say is, " The spirit of Christ compels you.. ".

edna Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 "In the court of the Crimson King", KC... amazing... "Sticky Fingers", RS, an icon. "Rubber Soul", Beatles... too much... "Abbey Road", Beatles... for the History books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzcat Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 The first Santana album with the composite pictue of the lion. Whipped Cream by Herb Alpert & TJB (I think all of us teenage boys convinced our parents that it was Ok, Dad liked it too). Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band by the Beatles was the topic of many discussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenYearsGone Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 "Physical Grafitti" held my attention for quite some time. :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_jr_ Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Anyone who owns an Iron Maiden album, especially Powerslave, has had to of spent some time staring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImThatGuyToo Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Led Zeppelin III... There was some crazy revolving mechanism to the album cover, though I can't be sure because I've never actually bought a record. But I do know that I stare at the cover of the CD every once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielj Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Believe it or not, I have spent TONS of time staring at DSOTM And Meaty Beaty Big And Bouncy-The Who.... I dont know if anyones seen it, but its really cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Caldwell Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Sgt. Peppers- Wow really cool! led zep IV- kind wierd but cool all the same. London Calling- Strummer is punk. Born in the usa- Bruces butt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted December 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Thanks ,Bazooka.. should have done a little research .I guess what's new is old, they say. For convenience sake though, nevermind .. carry on... an entirely original thread,Bwahhahhaaa !

bazooka Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 I did hesitate and reflect for in excess of eleven or twelve seconds. But seriously, Kevin, I just included the link for supplementary staring fuel. CD packages just can't compete with getting that foot-square front and back piece of art to hold when you listen to a new/old LP. Yawn... Yawn... Man, excuse me. For some reason I'm having trouble keeping my eyes open. :sleepy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_jr_ Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 I think we're getting off the topic of the thread. But, if you incorporate the current topic, staring at album covers is greatly enhanced, I suppose. so I guess, in an around the barn sort of way, it all ties in. My mistake. Carry on.

Kevin Posted December 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Feeling slight resonsibility for this thread, I'd like to affirm parents viewing in that 'pot' refers to the potted geranium , which has been an ongoing discussion here in the threads--man, they're awful to keep healthy in the winter ! Frisbees have been mentioned; though I wonder if anyone here has also 'kept their geraniums' by by burning off the cigarette paper and leaving a cheap foil... nasty results, but still worthwhile;as the blooms do come predominately in April.----- Free Martha ! :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
