randissimo Posted March 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) The ipod generation is really missing out...don't ya think? Indeed.... Half the attraction and allure of buying lps was the cover art... When I saw Capt. Beefheart's "Trout Mask Replica" , King Crimson's first lp "Court Of The Crimson King", Monk's "Underground", Miles's' "Bitches Brew", Zappa's "Freak Out", or the Beatles lp "Sgt Pepper" I knew I had to have them!

A Lark Ascending Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) Although I have no nostalgia whatsoever for the LP soundwise, I do miss the sleeves. I spent much time as a 15 year old staring at this one: Doesn't work at all at CD size...or even on a computer screen!

sidewinder Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) I do miss the sleeves. Yep, those King Crimson sleeves were classics, along with Gentle Giant and other Brit prog rock of that period. The first sleeve designs that really blew me away were the UK CBS 2LPs Miles Davis 'Bitches Brew', 'Big Fun' and 'Agharta'. Bought those on the spot - reasoning if the art was so crazy the music must be good. Not disappointed. Still can't live without having original cover art !

BruceH Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Cool site! Thanks Randy! (The fact that one of the records pictured on the site is put out by "Gadget Records" really adds to the cover I think.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmck Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) removing the art from/ adding the art to artifice: you decide... http://www.sleeveface.com/ turns out i'd pre-empted / reversed an incipient trend when my son was born...
