OT: Vinyl LP Album Covers (artwork)
- Thread starter CF LION
- Start date
If you could get the early Smell the Glove cover that was pulled from the shelves, definitely frame that.
You should've seen the cover they WANTED to do. It wasn't a glove, I can tell you...
Not sure how "classic" he wants to go (I'm old enough now that some of my favs are considered in that genre), but here is some cool wall art..:
"Classic" to him is pretty much anything the old man listened to when I was his age and older. The other day he told me he wished he grew up in the '70's because the music was so much better. Of course, there was no XBox then, so that would be an issue.
For you guitar guys,his instructor uses a pretty cool teaching method of progressing through songs with increasing difficulty. He has a library of 100 level, 200 level up to 1000 level (the hardest) songs and teaches tabs using a software called Guitar Pro that we had to purchase. He also beta tests songs for the software company. So for example, the first song my son learned was Wonderful Tonight by Clapton. He started learning the chords for this song at his very first lesson, and by lesson 3 could play the chords through the entire song while his instructor played lead guitar (the Clapton part) with him. I think you have to learn 10 songs in each level to jump up to the next level. He's currently working on the Stones' Satisfaction and will probably jump up to level 200 soon.
Little Feat has some interesting covers
Maybe the original Blind Faith cover (NSFW)?
I always liked Reuben and Jets (aka Frank Zappa and the Mothers)

Rolling Stones - Some Girls.
Not really a fan of the band, but the Supertramp "Breakfast in America" album cover is pretty cool.
Watch the end of the movie Pirate Radio. They roll through a bunch of very cool album covers.

Hey! I mentioned this one way back in the first few responses! It is an intriguing photo.
This one always my favorite. Interesting back story to go with it. https://st33.wordpress.com/sleeve-pages/the-roxy-music-girls-2/
It's in E minor - the saddest of all keys.
Yeah, that's very pretty. What do you call it?
Bitch School was very close:
2 word review for this one
This ponderous collection of songs within begs the question - On what day did God create Spinal Tap and couldn't he have rested on that day

You guys got all the good ones BUT....... I will add Mahogany Rush. They had some crazy good artwork covers. And it wasn't until years later when I started doing woodwork that I discovered what a "mahogany rush" was. Just sand away for a while. You can try Honduran Mahogany, Peruvian Mahogany, Bolivian Mahogany, South American Mahogany, Big Leaf Mahogany, they're all good and in no time you'll be designing your own album covers
Great project to do with your son though, enjoy!

If your son is interested in learning rock guitar here are some names that helped me play better. Michael Schenker he played with UFO ,SCORPIONS,MSG. Gary Moore played with THIN LIZZY and his own band. Richy BLACKMORE WITH DEEP PURPLE and RAINBOW. RONNIE MONTROSE ,other bands SCORPIONS , IRON MAIDEN , URIAH HEEP, BLACK SABBATH, RANDY RHOADS with OZZY. There are many more i just cant think of them all right now. And many of their album covers were great also
Sure this one has been mentioned several times, but it just bears repeating again - this is one of the most iconic, simplest and easily recognizable album covers of all time.
Picked up an original zipper cover of Sticky Fingers and an original Led Zeppelin today at a vintage shop.
Those are good, but I like the Satanic Majesties album cover a little more.Rolling Stones - Let it Bleed and Sticky Fingers
Nice - I have the Cream and Hendrix original press vinyl albums. I just wish my older brother had taken a little better care of them!
These were both at the shop I visited today. At $30.00 a pop, I have to,pace myself.
