One of the best things about listening to music in the sixties, seventies, and eighties was the album cover art that bedecked the cardboard sleeves that held our precious vinyl. Once CD's took over in the early eighties the album cover gradualy became a thing of the past. The tiny CD cover was puny and weak compared with great album covers. It's true that you could, and still can, go to specialty stores that carry old vinyl and experience the joy of fondling those old albums, but for the most part the LP cover is a thing of the past. Now days I don't even by CD's anymore, choosing instead to listen to streaming music from Rhapsody, YouTube, Pandora and many other Internet sources. (Take a listen to Radio Paradise for example.)
This leads me to the point of this post. I came across a pictorial showing 35 great album covers in all their glory. Talk about a contact high! Check it out.
