I was searching through my record collection the other day to find the
ones I want to keep because im moving into my own apartment soon, and I
found tons of awesome records I didn't even know I had, including
jethro tull's a passion play, minstrel in the gallery, and thick as a
brick, and other records like that, and then I found a record by a band
called Babe Ruth. Sure, I listened to it, and besides one cover of a frank zappa song king kong, it sucks. But there's one reson I kept it, it has a roger dean cover(which is the only reason why I kept the single asia album i have), and I never even seen it before. Anyway the album is called first base, and did anyone even know this cover existed? I found a pic of it on the net:  That's the cover, anybody seen it before? It's obviously not his best, but still. ------------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhuxaD8NzaY" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhuxaD8NzaY |

Cool, thanks for the pic! I never seen that before. I was going to try & collect every Roger Dean cover as a hobby but it would mean having to buy some Tamla Motown albums so I gave up on the idea.

Actually found that Babe Ruth CD in a second-hand sale ... at first listen I wasn't impressed, but now I don't think it's too bad ... that lady's lead vocals are pretty steamin' ------------- "Death to Utopia!

| I dont think the album is all that bad, not great or very good, but certainly not bad. |

That's a weird cover. But certainly an interesting find!

^ As have I but it's a good cover.

its not that bad... my father owns it, and it (along with yessongs) were the first fine works of Roger dean I was exposed to. ------------- something pretentious |

yea I've seen it before (I think in a Roger Dean Collection) I think his best covers are his Asia ones, too bad he wasted them on such crappy albums. -------------
