Ah, that made me laugh during my exciting Friday night of doing chores. I was hoping they wouldn't make fun of the Caetano Veloso album on the main page. That album is so good.

I always thought this one was pretty creepy. The guy in the picture looks like he should be a in blacked out van asking children to pet his puppy.

Actually, I think these covers are pretty cool.

my grandma does, They melt so well into record bowls. They make neat clocks too!

We are collectibles dealers and one of our specialities is records!!! Ebay is alive and well for their sale, but most go overseas. look in our ebay store for neat 45's and records. Our ebay id is talyho-enterprise

I was just looking at these the other day...soo funny.

Most of these covers look pretty good. I've seen much much worse. The first almost looks like art.

i still have vinyls that i play - listening to CSNY "So Far" on vinyl right now.

my favourite album art is the Jimmi Hendrix painting reproduced on the cover of "Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs" by Derek & the Dominoes. i wish it was available as a poster.

There is a thriving interest in current (CD) album art for iPods and other uses. My "domestic partner" originated this site for people who spend time improving scanned images pixel by pixel... then he sold the site to the current owner.

(Just to point out that it's not just LP fans who appreciate album covers!)

The old Pete Renaldi's Fried Chicken billboards always reminded me of Zappa's Weasels Ripped My Flesh, not too appetizing.

I still have all of my records, but I couldn't listen to them until I bought my fantastic Crosley turntable. Now my friends are starting to give me records they find in flea markets!

We still have a collection of punk albums from my husband's adolescence in the UK. We love the graphics, the colours, the liner notes. Sadly, that's something you can't get with iTunes.

I'm a big fan of old album art. I have a few randoms sitting in my living room that would probably make the cut.

I won that Cap'n n Tenile record at the fair.

One of the worst I can remember is the Loverboy album of the red leather panted ass with the crossed fingers.

There were so many.

The coolest were the albums that had elaborate artwork and inserts like those found in Led Zeppelin or Beatles albums. So many records photos of concerts and as a kid it was really great to listen to the music and look at the pictures and imagine what a concert must be like. Anything from a bedazzled Elton John to Gene Simmons spitting blood and fire.

I remember my friend and I drawing the kiss faces in preschool and kindergarten. I always drew Ace Frehly and he Gene Simmons. During nap time in preschool we listened to records. I brought in the Chipmunks Bee Gees album and I think it was rejected by the teacher.

I have hundreds of records now but it's mostly electronic music with plain sleeves. One memorable cover would be something like Leftfield with the speaker in a sharks jaw bone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8D56eqR-qiM

Technology is great. Some things like books, albums and magazines are hard to part with though.

I still have lots and lots of records and am constantly buying more. I really do listen to them at home. Digital music is more convenient and transportable, but vinyl sounds better and is more of an experience. To me anyway.

You guys. Apostrophes.

We collect the vinyl though we don't play it. We prefer a more even sound that you can only get from cds or even digital.

Whoa -- some of those people look like they shouldn't be around children...or small animals. What's so incredibly insane is that I worked with Terry from the Harry and Terry duo. OMG, I'm so creeped out.
