I almost forgot about that "Orleans" LP cover. IIRC, wasn't there a
slew of "semi-naked man" LP covers in the mid to late 70's?

And what about Grand Funk's "E Pluribus Funk"? That had to be one of
the tackiest.

Curious bits of history. These days I doubt anyone cares, or even
thinks aboout album covers any more. How many people who download
self-produced CDs download the artwork that the artist has worked hard
at producing?

Well, I care. On the few self-produced CDs I have made for friends, I
probably spent as much time on the packaging as I did on the audio
production.

And then there is a whole book, maybe two, of Album covers from Blue
Note. Although noone was probably thinking of them as High Art when
they were made, they stand as classics, mainly because of the quality
of the photography.

As for today's productions, it varies all over the place. In sum,
slightly more than nobody. Q.E.D.

Good for you. I hope they appreciated it. As I get older, I long for
the larger jackets with their larger print. When someone does go to
the trouble of making up an informative booklet to go with a CD, I
find that it's not only hard for me to read, but that it's also hard
to hold, and easy to lose if I don't store it right back in the CD
case.

If I send you a CD, I promise to hot glue the case to a big square poster
board with art and info printed on the other side.

I figure this is a good idea. I embarrassingly still haven't made a CD
of my own stuff, but do have a book of tunes I've composed. I went for
a nicer cover than most folks self producing books of tunes of this
genre. The comments have all been positives. The link is below.

By the way I got a good laugh out of most of the covers I kinda dig "
the "12 Top Hits" one.

I think "12 Great Hits" is just perfect. It looks bad now but for the time
it looks perfect. Lot's of energy. It's exactly what white American Rock
and Roll was selling. All the others are amazingly bad. What is going on
with the 16th birthday? Is that the Midwestern Bachelor that she has been
promised to for the 10 Acres he traded to her father when she was born?

Check out the 2nd page of these, there's a link a the bottom of the 1st
page. Man0war is pretty gross, but my favorite is "The Braillettes."

Found it. HA!

God, I thought I was the only person dumb enought to buy that. Urgh. "Lt.
Schtinkhausen"...

Somehow they missed "Mom's Apple Pie". Anyone remember that one?
