Lp cover art

[Jn229]

Anybody else here ever purchase an LP simply based on its cover art? That's what happened earlier today. Saw the art work, read the artist was Joni Mitchell and bought it.

That used to happen to me quite frequently with EMC LPs.

Cover by Matt Groening (of Simpsons fame)

Hopefully the music is not as foreboding as the cover....

Hundreds of them in the early/mid 80s when I was stationed in Dortmund.

I buy a lot of secondhand jazz albums based on the covers. Sometimes I strike gold, other times not so much. When my favorite record store sold these records for $2.99 it was easy to try a handful, now that prices have risen to over $8.00, I'm more selective.
All of these have been worth the price of admission!

Years ago I picked up one of these as it always struck me as so Paris...

This one too. It's actually got some nice "Fender bass" sound to it.

The Josef Albers artwork on these covers always intrigued me.

The first album I bought for the cover art was Savoy Brown~Hellbound Train. I didn't know of them at the time and it wasn't their best LP, but the title track was good enough to make me search out some more. In essence, that one album cover introduced me to quite a few good songs (and many more cool album covers).
