    This is one of those covers that looks better on the vinyl release than the tiny CD release...

    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Sorry. I'm having to crop the album covers a bit to remove names and such...

    Hint: Probably its best known track to mainstream audiences was notoriously played at The Peach Pit.

    Blammo! I think you should give The Soft Bulletin a spin Shackdaddy. You might like it.

    Nada? I know the pic is on the small side and you can't make out this band's members' faces... but in truth, it's unlikely it would help.

    In most minds this group was part of the British Invasion's 2nd string, Psychedelic Corps. While not considered one-hit-wonders their one U.S. hit appeared on this LP, their 4th, released just before they disbanded.

    The group's distinctively voiced mainstay almost immediately joined forces with a promising musician who became the guitar star of the mid-70's. Their new group gathered quite a following and filled more seats in the states.

    This one's buggin' me. It's deep in the "know I've seen it somewhere" zone, but I can't come up with anything.

    Hint time...

    Meanwhile a random thought... I wonder what was the first LP cover to feature art in lieu of a pic of the artist/ group or simple graphics.

    Atomic Rooster / Death Walks Behind You

    I actually didn't know it at first, but I recognized the William Blake etching ("Nebuchadnezzar") on the cover. I Googled "Willam Blake cover art" and it linked me to a Wikipedia article on Atomic Rooster.
