I was completely stunned when the old covers appeared. They reminded me of some 35 years ago, when I went through the second hand record shops in London. It’s an oasis in this inter net world with so many things jumping into your face you don’t really want to know about.
I will subscribe so I can walk into this room full of ghosts whose music i can still faintly hear. The records have to be scratchy, though.
Great site, what a wonderful artwork!! I’m looking for covers with Volkswagen busses on it. I mean the 60’s and 70’s types. I’ve searched but can’t find one. But there must be some. maybe you can give me a hint.
Found this recently: “So the next time you hear someone shout “Oi! Oi! Oi!” as you’re walking down a city street, chances you’re not hearing a Jew whose car has broken down (that would be “Oy! Oy! Oy vey!”). It’s probably a skinhead, a punk, or just someone who loves the best working class music around…Oi!” This is in response to the Strength Thru Oi! album cover. You have the best site in the world; hopefully I can contribute a photo one day. Good Luck.
Hey, I love this blog and was wondering if you’d post a link to my blog. It’s similar, but wider in focus. retrohound.blogspot.com. I especially like your hot rod album covers.
Matt - This is a note for Tony, who told me to check out this website on his Christmas card (as always, a cinch to pick out of the pile, being the most twisted card received). Am I still into vinyl, he asks? Why else would this year’s Christmas mix be entitled, “Vinyl Mania,” is my answer. I’ll try to send it along in due course — it’s the product of a program my wife and son gave me last Christmas, which allows you to burn your albums to cd, and to my astonishment the sound is pretty good. This is a way cool site, and I will have to spend some time exploring when I have some time; no telling when that might be, alas. Ben
Hi Pam, I’m glad you’re not the only one who enjoys “Potty Art”.
If you’re in a hurry, here are a few Lps you can find pretty easy on Ebay.
“The Models, Remodeling”; “Andre Previn, but, beautiful” and of course, the easy to find “Foreigner’s, Head Games”, which you might already have but forgot. These can get you off to a good start. Finding rare ones will be fun.
How are these fabulous jpgs done? I have loads of old lp’s and covers. Would love to scan to jpegs and upload to your site for other vinyl-philes to enjoy.
Does anyone have a good source for album covers without the records? I know eBay and your local flea market, but are there any online sites that just sell the covers? Thanks for any suggestions.
Dear friends, we’ve been busy transferring LPCoverLover to a new server and making some back end adjustments. We have stacks of great covers ready to be shared on the site and look forward to getting back into the groove shortly. Best, Matthew and Tony

Regarding the Vince Taylor LP: the coolest thing about it is “Right Behing Me.”

Thanks for a delightful site. But, is this the end of the BIG images then?

“Your comment is awaiting moderation.” ???
Moderate however you want. If you think they’re too rough or grammatically incorrect, fix or take them off. It’s your show.
… You have to admit they were funny.

LOVE the LP covers.
I am looking for album art that has a bathroom theme. (I am framing them and putting in my bathroom.)
So far, I can only think of: “Beauty and the Beat” by the Go-Gos (the girls are wrapped up in towels, etc.”
Also: The first Mamas and Papas album, when they are all in a bathtub.
I saw the woman in the fur-lined tub on this site — priceless!
Any others???
Thanks!
Pam.

Unfortunately George, I don’t know of a scanner large enough, so I just take photos of my records.
