Buying a record just for the sleeve

[sparky]

From time to time I buy a record just for the sleeve, and in twenty minutes I'm going to head off down the local record shop and buy this mother for that very reason:

Genius.

Here it comes then -

Which record sleeve do you like to touch and look at and maybe sometimes if there's no one around lick?

One of my other favourites is the Accelerator 12" by Primal Scream. A mean tune with brilliant packaging on fat vinyl, and if I'm not mistaken the last ever release on Creation records too.

I quite fancy the sabre-toothed-rat playing the nuclear reactor control console, on the assumption its a female underneath......

help....

I haven't visited the forum for a while and I've forgotten how brilliant it is!

That is a cool cover.

Lemon Jelly have great inlays - especially Lost Horizons...
(The full opened out vinyl inlay is better)

I also love my Future Loop Foundation 'Scratch and Sniff' EP!
... you scratch it and it smells of ice cream and things

The only record I bought -just- for the sleve, without listening to it though is 'The Little Computer People'


Fortunately it turned out to be good!

You are all mad and have far too much money!

Let's all club together and publish the bc album instead. How much would it cost?

Ages ago on this very board there was a thread about the New Order album "Waiting For The Sirens Call" which just had the letters "No" on the front. The "is any good" debate divided the entire country I seem to remember and people fought in the streets.

Here's the story of why it such a simple cover:

I always loved the front cover of "Exit Planet Dust"
