We did one of these not long ago. I dig 'em though. I like seeing what covers other people like.







































































































This one is even better when the entire gatefold is opened!

Don't sweat it. Lots of new people here that I am sure didn't get to post in the old thread. Besides, nothing wrong with a thread like this. The old thread was moved into the Vault, which is where I copied my covers from. Very Happy

This one? It's "Draw the Line" 1978. Great album. Cool cover. I have it on vinyl and CD. Took me forever to find a near mint copy on vinyl. Most copies I saw were tore up and dirty. I guess white is hard to keep clean. There are versions with the Aerosmith logo at the top in black as well. I like the version here with just the line drawing.

Do you know if they printed vinyl copies of Done With Mirrors not backwards? I have one with it backwards and I know they changed it later.

I'm just bustin' your onions. I know how Eyesore gets when people don't use the search function on these magnificant boards.

And the Aerosmith cover is Drawn the Line, drawn by famous artist Al Hirschfeld. I had it painted on the back of my jean jacket back in the day.

No, all the vinyl copies are backwards, as far as I know. That's one I have yet to re-buy on vinyl. Keeping an eye out for a pristine copy.

I would also say just about any Iron Maiden album (except for Dance Of Death). I have other nominations but they'd take up too much space so I'll grudgingly stop here.

I don't have a scanner so I can't put it in the thread. but if you have the remastered version of Priest's "Point of Entry", they show the Japanese cover on the inside in the liner notes and it is really cool. :metal:

Nope. Every time I link the previously posted thread on the same subject I get a bunch of sarcastic replies.
