Projects of LP covers were more addicted to recordings than now and

I could put a cover, looked at , and listen, imagine...
Good times, bad times


I have some lp replicas on cd format (mainly Genesis, Led Zep, some
from Akarma records etc.) but I still regret the good ol' times...

I'll add Genesis's "Selling England by the Pound", Yes "Tales..." and some Pendragon are excellent too ("The masquerade Overture", "The widow of life")

Wow, yeah! Brilliant book with some OK music. I read once (probably in Record Collector magazine 10 or more years ago) that a mint copy of the LP was worth over £120 (UK pounds) - presumably a lot more now! I reckon my book is mint but the vinyl possibly not.

Rodney Matthews is another favourite of mine.

I think maybe my all time favourite cover is Bedside Manners Are Extra (Greenslade) by Roger Dean

I agree with the music. What a stunning idea it was. If only Dave Greenslade could have shown the same brilliance with his music as Woodroffe did with the artwork
