Aloha everybody. I finally got around to posting a

Nice work! Thanks for posting these.
What's with Yma Sumac over the kettle? Looks like she's hurling.

Indeed, another site to spend an afternoon with... and to bookmark for future reference.

Oh, and Telefunken - welcome to TC.
...wish I could afford to "buy you" (U47 is a rare and expensive vintage microphone, people!).

Welcome TFU47. Are you the same TFU47 from FARK.com?

Thanks for the warm reception!
And it's good to know someone who knows their audio equipment!
Analog is where it's at!

And to answer the question about if I am the same person on fark. I am not the person who uses that name on fark.

I chose this name based on its usage on most of the LP's I listen to plus it's stature in the professional audio world.

And here I thought it was just a Zappa reference.

Thanks everybody. I'm sure as you go through them you'll be able to tell that these are assembled from 4 separate scans (my poor photoshop skills are more noticeable in some than in others). Eventually I'll splurge on a used Microtek XL scanner, but until then please excuse the seams. I'll update regularly.

Keep up the great work!

I believe that album art has become a lost art.
due to the size of a CD and the fact that anything that comes out anymore has a picture of the artist on the cover and nothing imaginative or inventive.

I love the cool and unusual LP art from the past.
