What is your favorite album cover? Mine is shown below. I bought this without any prior knowledge of the artist/artists making the record. It turned out to be something I really like listening to.:D

    Because of the "no name" on the spine contraversy. The whole cover concept of not giving away who the artist was. Sure once word got out it sold like crazy.

    It's among the best covers when you consider the story behind the story.

    Not quite all fours...but I believe this is the one you were thinking of..."Playing Possum"...

    So, BlueMDPicker,
    Are you a Roy Buchanan fan? Have you ever seen the burlap bag album he did? "Buch and the Snakestretchers" it was his first album and everybody thought it was a bootleg since it came in a real burlap bag with a stencil for the title. The guy who produced the record spray painted each album cover in his driveway.

    I spent lots of time in the bathroom with one of my Dad's Chet Atkins albums. That's where our record player was! Yeah.....that's it! :D That Herb Alpert "Whipped Cream and Other Delights" shown above was one of my favorites also ;)
    BTW.....I used to have a Gretcsh very similar to that one in the picture.

    Hi Ken,

    I'm a huge Buchanan fan, and have a lot of his early vinyl -- but, have only read about that album. I'd love to see a picture of it if you have it.
