Never knew that. But album covers back then were part of the reason for buying the album. Nowadays buying mp3s is like buying 45's, nothing to them. No cover art...
Yeah, even buying CDs is lame compared to buying albums. My friend Scott actually has been buying and framing the album sleeves of some of his favorite albums since they have such great covers...
The moodys always had some pretty sweet covers though.
So did Uriah Heep and Yes.
Yeah I heard of them, but speaking of good album covers Earth, Wind & Fire had some great covers, too. And don't forget Captain Beyond...Black Sabbath and BOC had some good covers also.
Not sure what my favorite album cover is... Probably A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren.
