Tales from Topographic Oceans for me, too, so other. I have it set as my background at work on my 21" widescreen lcd (1680x1020 resolution) and its a pleasure turning my computer on in the morning ------------- Aram |

life which is probably why I am so nostalgic about that period.
It was always a giggle for a (as then) 16 year old to point out to people the hidden male and female sex organs on the cover. I wonder how many people even notice that now?

That post should have read......
For me - "Demons and Wizards" - which was bought at an important and formative period of my life which is probably why I am so nostalgic about that period.

Congrats, Clem! And what a lovely kitten... BTW, I voted for the gorgeous inner gatefold sleeve of CTTE, for which I've always had a particular weakness. The Greenslade album covers are also very beautiful, with that strange many-armed figure in the foreground. |

| CTTE for me. The centrefold, with its waterfall defying logic and the boat moored next to one of the small islands with a dwelling on it, isn't seen much nowadays, but was my fave Dean work, though Relayer is close behind. |
