Instead of listing the many forgotten albums purchased for cover art I'll just give the first that I recall. King Crimson, In the Court of the Crimson King, it's the album with the large painted face that I couldn't pass up. Must've been 1970 or so. Wow these threads are great for the memories.
Have U ever bought an LP because of the cover art?
I was talking to a friend who was telling me that he got into various artists because the LP cover was interesting, have you ever bought something for the same reason?
