    I did indeed. Thankyou. My daughter has been doing thanksgiving lately. Last year she calls me at 1:30 and asks how long to cook a 22lb turkey. Needless to say, dinner was a bit late. So this year i called her and had her put in turkey at 8:30am. Unfortunatly she had a little trouble timing wise. Forgot about baking the pies, burnt the rolls, forgot about heating the potatoes, her mother inlaw brought over green beans and spilled them in the hot oven. Smoke everywhere. Her and my x-wife are snipeing at each other. I just grabbed a couple of beers and laughed my **** off in the garage. Could have made a Bundy thanksgiving special out of this years festivities. Had a plate of food and hightailed it back home. At least we ate before 10 this year. And you, probably a little less drama. Leonard Cohen; Songs of love and hate.

    Hey Rick, Watch out for the Beatle mono set. I hear there are alot of cheap Knockoffs, if you look at youtube they will show the differance. Just got done watching last season of Rescue Me, halarious. Time for the headphones. David Bowie; Aladdin Sane. I'm gonna be interested in how mono sounds. So used to stereo mix.

    I hate getting ripped off when i'm spending $100 + on a box set. Really pisses me off. I think i would buy that one at a record store and make them open it up first. David Byrne; Rei Mono.

    We get so many good ideas in this thread. That MO: Birds of Fire Album is becoming one of my most played lately. Thanks for the post on that one.

    Kewl! These albums also have something else in common. They are two out of the seven album covers Hipgnosis did for 10cc. I'm missing Sheet Music and am a fan of Hipgnosis covers. The US cover for Look Hear is way different than the UK album art. They only got a small image with Are You Normal in large words.

    Chum, Hipgnosis was a British design group that did album covers for bands, before digital photography and photoshop was available. Hipgnosis did seven covers for 10cc, and possibly more than 278 total. I have a Hipgnosis book out that lists 249 of the covers, but a friend of mine and I found they did more. Our Excel speadsheet is up to 278 currently.

    Here is a wiki link that shows a list of artists they did covers for.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipgnosis

    Pink Floyd, T.Rex, The Pretty Things, UFO, 10cc, Bad Company, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Scorpions, Yes, The Alan Parsons Project, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, ELO, XTC and more.

    This site shows 306.

    They definitely had some both amazing and controversial covers. Houses of the Holy being one.... shooting pics of naked children crawling on rocks in the cold and rain of Northern Ireland with their mother looking on.
