[Music] Did you ever buy a single (7"or 12") because of the picture cover?

[Pickles]

I did.

Spacer by Sheila B Devotion. As a teenager at the time, I just thought why not, she's gorgous. In Woolies in Portslade, on a Saturday morning, before going to The Goldstone, probably.

Turned out I loved it and still play it loads and loads.

 

[Albion Dan]

Great tune. Used to buy LPs all the time because of the cover and discovered some great music as a result. My intro into Metallica a good example.

 

[studio150]

No.

 

[Pickles]

No.

There's always one

I had that. I bought two copies, one to keep and one to play.

I knew Doug Sanders at the time.

A Roger Dean artwork if I'm not much mistaken, did a lot with Asia and Yes!

 

[WildWood]

The perfect partnership of fantastic album & raunchy cover! Fantastic!

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Roxy music, country life

I bought this album simply because the cover was by Roger Dean and I'd read it was becoming quite valuable. Absolutely awful music (or at least I thought so last time I played it 40 years ago). Also features the vocals of 12 year-old Keith "Cheggers" Chegwin. Ugh.

 

[Streetlight]

I picked up the original Robert Williams cover of Appetite For Destruction a couple years ago, despite not being a huge Guns N' Roses fan. Well worth it.

 

[spence]

Yes I did. I hate heavy metal well most of it. Brought an Iron Maiden album purely for the cover called Killer's or something like that

 

[Juan Albion]

Wild Willy Barrett & Two Names' "Organic Bondage" was another album I bought for the cover. Totally unique, each one was personally made out of wood by Wild Willy himself I believe.
