The CD cover is bland:

Picked up my LP copy of the Maupin at the old ‘VinylWest’ store in Stuttgart. The owner told me at the time that he had recently bought cover designer Barbara Wojirsch’s collection of ECMs from her. So my copy is quite possibly one of those. Sad that she got rid of her personal set of these wonderful designs but at least one of them got an appreciative home. :)

I went ahead and bought the LP, since the CD cover (at least the version I had) is pretty terrible.

This is clearly a Romare Bearden collage.  Now whether it was commissioned or they just repurposed an existing collage, I am not sure.  Will see if I can find out later.

A few LPs that I've kept just because I like the "big art" and/or the music so much -- even though I've also got them on CD:

BTW: I still very actively collect vinyl -- although 98% of it is used.  The convenience (and "on-the-go" listening potential) of digital is undeniable.  That said, I can't imagine giving up on vinyl -- especially when there's so much out there.  ... But I suppose that's another thread. ;) 

I kept this one because Dave Liebman signed it for me with a dedication !
