It’s been a while since I’ve posted album cover art, and I just couldn’t stop with the Shusei Nagaoka awesomeness. Viva la 1970s!

Album Artwork, redux

Posted by Danielle in Art & Architecture, Entertainment on September 23, 2008

I found these great covers here (via Brian.)

Album covers are strange and I don’t dig them up to post here nearly often enough… should I make this a more regular feature? Comments?

More retro album covers that Brian found on 317x.com. Featured today are a pair of ku-raaaaaazy guys and a number of musical-instrument-shaped constellations. Gotta love those horn-rimmed glasses!

Album Artwork: Retro Covers, Part 1

Posted by Danielle in Entertainment on January 14, 2008

These retro album covers are again the findings of Brian, and are from 317x.com. Featured today are an artistic rendition of Sputnik, and man’s first spacewalk. (I think. If not the first, please correct me.)

Album Artwork: Enoch Light

Posted by Danielle in Entertainment on January 11, 2008

There’s no words to truly describe Spaced Out — Get a load of those booties! — it’s a Friday, you need a little funny in your day, and so here you are. Space babes in lingerie and horrific booties. You go, girl: out in the vacuum of space wearing scandalously little, but by golly YOU’VE GOT BOOTS ON. (Larger scan here, contributed by Brian.)
