Oh my gosh! That Ray Charles one has me overcome!
Ha, thanks Kate. Glad you dig it. :)
While I’m loving all of them, the Electrodynamics cover is my favorite. Wonderful set!
I have that Electrodynamics album and it is FANTASTIC. If you see it - or any of Dick Hyman’s Moog stuff - snatch it up. I bought the album from Goodwill partly because of the guy’s name and mostly because of the sleeve. Great to see it made this list.
Thanks for the comments you guys! Glad the Electrodynamics is getting some attention. Since the design is not as bold as the others was afraid it might get overlooked. Just found the LP this week and had not put it on the turntable yet but I will soon, Jannell. Can’t wait, thanks for the recommendation. :)
These are really cool and simple album covers. Thank you!
