here's mine, 1976, I was 10, I love part 2 as my dad had this sync'd to an 8mm movie of the first ever sea trials of the harrier jump jet on HMS Eagle, I witnessed these as an even younger kid and the music stuck ever since, fond memories the album cover, I thought was absolutely fantastic, a work of art!
released around about the time i was starting to think about things other than how can i keep this bike running with box of nails and a file.
Good thread I have two favourite covers: cos, you know, bonkers. And of course Spoiler: This One From Bran Van 3000. So impossibly wrong, it's right
No Mean City, Nazareth. A friend copied it onto the tank of his T110 based chopper back in the early 80s. Andy
As Stu knows, I have a 'factory sample' of that album - it was a gift from a member of the band. Are factory samples of albums particularly valuable or just the same as any other? Maybe I could flog it to Stu as a prototype??
It's somewhere in the loft, along with the rest of my vinyl and my Technics SL150 and SME mark 2 arm. I also have a Sgt Pepper picture disc I obtained via a girl who worked for EMI. She reckoned at the time they were something special but there seemed to be plenty on eBay when I looked a few years ago.
I had a tubular bells limited edition picture disk (my x wife kept it) and also technics sl 1210's mk 2's x2
