Vinyl LPs

I grew into adulthood in the 8-track automobile stereo era,  but I have a special place in my heart for LPs.  Not just the sound with all the hiss and crackle, but also the great cover art.  My dad had a pretty good stash of them when I was a kid and I would spend hours pouring over the covers.  Some were simply awful while others were equally great.

Today anyone can cut a CD and there is not a lot of real estate to make an artistic statement on the cover.  Back in the day it was a BIG DEAL to make a record and local groups considered it a significant milestone.  While I love music and like that it is much more accessible to produce these days, I miss the great canvas the LP album covers offered.  If you feel the same,  I'm sure you will relate to these images.  Enjoy.  You are welcome.
